Poll: America ‘seriously off on the wrong track.’

A new ABC News/Washington Post poll puts President Bush’s approval rating at 31 percent, a new low. Just three presidents — Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, and Harry Truman — have dropped lower. Bush, however, “has gone 40 months without majority approval, beating Truman’s record (also during economic discontent and an unpopular war) of 38 months from 1949–52.” Eighty-two percent of Americans also believe the country is on the wrong track, “up 10 points in the last year to a point from its record high in polls since 1973.”
