Bush ratings in free fall

Rasmussen, the Republican polling organization which usually has Bush's approval ratings about 7 to 8 points higher than most others, now puts Bush's approval rating at it's lowest level ever for their polling -- 34%. Just seven days ago he was five points higher, at 39%:

For the third straight day, just 34% of American adults Approve of the way that George W. Bush is performing his duties as President. That’s the lowest level ever recorded by Rasmussen Reports (see comments on comparing Approval Ratings from different polling firms). Fifteen percent (15%) Strongly Approve.

Overall, 64% of Americans Disapprove, including 47% who Strongly Disapprove. Both those figures are the highest recorded during the Bush era.

As Atrios would say, Wheeeeeeeee!
