OUCH 43 %
Bush gets hammered in the latest CBS Poll

This was not a bad sample for Bush. Self described Republicans outnumberes self described Democrats by 15%. Amazingly more people identified themselfs as Republicans than approved of Bush's job performance. The poll mainly focused on Theresa Schiavo. Clearly dismay at the cynicism and invasiveness of the Republicans had a major effect which might disipate. Still that's got to hurt.

THE POLITICAL IMPACT OF THE SCHIAVO CASE
As mentioned earlier, Congressional approval ratings have fallen since last month and are at their lowest point since 1997, and President Bush’s job approval ratings have also declined. 43 percent now approve of President Bush’s handling of his job as President; 48 percent disapprove.

36 percent approve of President Bush’s handling of the economy, and 53 percent disapprove. Bush’s approval rating on Iraq has also dropped; 39 percent approve, down from 45 percent in late February; 53 percent now disapprove.
