Bush's approval ratings hit new low

Washington, Apr 25: US President George W Bush's approval rating fell to 32 per cent, a new low for his presidency, a CNN poll showed today.

The survey showed that 60 per cent of Americans disapprove of the way Bush is handling his job.

Bush's poll numbers have languished below 40 per cent in recent months, hit by growing public opposition to the Iraq war, his administration's mishandling of the initial response to Hurricane Katrina and political missteps plus rising gas prices.
