Bush's approval rating fell 4 percentage points to 23 percent, a record
low for pollster John Zogby, and positive marks for the U.S. Congress
fell 5 points to tie an all-time low at 11 percent.
The number of Americans who believe the country is on the right track
fell from 23 percent to an abysmal 16 percent, another record for
pessimism, as uncertainty about the economy and rising gas prices fueled
growing doubts about the future.
"Bad economic news is settling in and Americans are getting anxiety
ridden," Zogby said.
"By any objective standard, when you look at economic indicators, there
is no good news for people to read about or hear," he said. "Most
economic indicators are pointing downward and Americans are absorbed by
that."
Consumer confidence fell to a 28-year low this month as rising prices
strained household finances, the economy shed jobs, the housing market
struggled and the cost of gasoline rose to $4 a gallon.
