After “Week From Hell” Bush’s Approval Rating Drops

HeadlineOct 31, 2005

New polls show that the public trust in the Bush administration has reached a new low. A new ABC News/Washington Post Poll has found Bush’s approval rating to be just 39 percent–the lowest of his presidency. Meanwhile 46 percent of the country says the level of honesty and ethics in the government has declined under Bush. Only 15 percent of the country feel Bush has restored honesty and ethics to the government. This comes after what Time Magazine described as the worst week of Bush’s presidency. Within a span of four days the U.S. death toll in Iraq topped 2,000, Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination to the Supreme Court and Lewis Scooter Libby was indicted and resigned. Time described it as Bush’s QUOTE “Week from Hell.”
