Bush popularity plunges; 2% among blacks

Tags: ,

Just how far down is the Bush administration and the GOP leadership dragging the Republican party?

In what may turn out to be one of the biggest free-falls in the history of presidential polling, President Bush's job-approval rating among African Americans has dropped to 2 percent, according to a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll.

The drop among blacks drove Bush's overall job approval ratings to an all-time low of 39 percent in this poll. By comparison, 45 percent of whites and 36 percent of Hispanics approve of the job Bush is doing.

Maybe he might consider doing the American thing for a change rather than the un-American thing.

UPDATE: There were only 88 blacks in the survey, making the 2% figure highly questionable.
