Just a few days ago I posted a link to a poll that showed Bush's poll #s were sliding and it continues. Link below; my emphasis.
"American's approval of President Bush's handling of Iraqi is at its lowest level yet, according to an AP-Ipsos poll that also found fewer than half now think he's honest…
A solid majority still see Bush as a strong and likable leader, though the president's confidence is seen as arrogance by a growing number
.
The portion of people who consider Bush honest has dropped slightly from January, when 53 percent described him that way while 45 percent did not. Now, people are just about evenly split on that issue — with 48 percent saying he's honest and 50 percent saying he's not.
The drop in the number of people who see Bush as honest was strongest among middle-aged Americans as well as suburban women, a key voting group in the 2004 election. A further erosion of trust could make it tougher for Bush to win support for his policies in Congress and internationally…
But the portion of people who view his confidence as arrogance has increased from 49 percent in January to 56 percent now.
"This country is a monarchy," said Charles Nuutinen, a 62-year-old independent from Greenville, Wis. "He's turning this country into Saudi Arabia. He does what he wants. He doesn't care what the people want."
Six in 10 said they think the country is headed down the wrong track, despite some encouraging economic news in recent weeks."
