From the Moonie-owned (just like the WASHINGTON TIMES) UPI:

NEW YORK, NY, United States (UPI) -- In a second poll in as many days, U.S. President George Bush`s public approval rating has fallen to a record low 45 percent.
The results of a USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll published Thursday mirrored a Washington Post/ABC News poll published a day earlier not only in percentage points, but in motivation -- the war in Iraq and gas prices that exceeded $3 per gallon Wednesday.
Six of 10 Americans disapprove of Bush`s handling of the economy, healthcare and Iraq. Of six issues, he scored a net positive rating only on handling terrorism, an area of strength since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Bush`s standing is worse than any other modern president at this point in a second term except Richard Nixon, who was then enmeshed in the Watergate scandal.
The survey of 1,007 adults includes 32 percent Republicans, 35 percent Democrats and 32 percent independents. The margin of error was not disclosed.
