Bush, Congress Popularity Remain Low

AP

Thursday, Nov. 8, 2007 | 6 a.m.

BUSH: Thirty-two percent approved of President Bush's performance in this month's Associated Press-Ipsos poll, about the same as last month's all-time low for him in the survey of 31 percent. His 32 percent approval for handling the economy was his lowest rating ever for that category in the AP poll. Forty percent approved of his job on foreign policy and terrorism, and roughly a third gave him positive marks for Iraq and domestic issues, with his ratings in all three showing slight improvement.

CONGRESS: Twenty-five percent approved of the way Congress is handling its job, a slight increase from the 22 percent who approved last month, a record low in the four-year-old AP-Ipsos poll.

METHODOLOGY: The poll involved telephone interviews with 1,001 adults from Nov. 5-7 and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
