I just noticed this Rasmussen Report from yesterday showing an all time low for Bush: [

Sunday April 16, 2006--Thirty-nine percent (39%) of American adults approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. That's the lowest level of approval ever measured by Rasmussen Reports.
Sixty percent (60%) disapprove of Bush's job performance, the highest level ever recorded.
And once again, the strong disapproval number is higher than the total approval number.
Bush Job Approval
Strongly Approve 20%
Somewhat Approve 20%
Somewhat Disapprove 17%
Strongly Disapprove 43%

As most of the readers of DailyKos are aware, Rasmussen weights his results to a preset party identy percentage. This has consistently kept his approval ratings for Bush at least 4-6% higher than any other pollster. If Rasmussen is showing Bush at under 40%, does this mean Bush is now flirting with the low 30s - high 20s approval?
No wonder the administration is pushing back so hard on the Generals who criticized his handling of Iraq.
Nothing else to add then this made my morning....
