WaPo poll says Bush at 39% approve and 60% disapprove


The overall number of 60% disapprove is amazing to me, but you figure that it has to be a forced choice, not a "no opinion," so you would think that alot of those disapproves would be tepid, "because I had to choose" disapproves. You would be wrong.

Take a look at some of the internal numbers here.

20% strongly approve of Bush, 47% strongly disapprove.
A year ago, roughly before the election, the numbers were 50% strongly approve 25% strongly disapprove.

The situation in Iraq 20% strongly approve, 51% strongly disapprove.

The economy gets a 61% disapproval(no measure of degree) Health care 61% disapprove.

The right direction/wrong track numbers are 30/68.

"He(Bush) is honest and trustworthy" 40% yes 58% no.


Enough. I'm not normally a poll chaser, but this is just amazing especially when you look at the trend info.
