CNN/USA TODAY/GALLUP POLL HAS BUSH AT 37% APPROVAL, BODES WELL FOR DEMS IN 2006

60% disapproval.

It's the first time for the poll to find that less than half approve of the president's performance in the war on terror. 60% said going to war in Iraq wasn't worth it, and those surveyed were split 49%/49% as to whether he is a strong or weak leader. 56% said they either dislike or hate (6%) the president. 48% said they trust Bush less than Clinton, 36% trust him more, 15% said about the same. 52% think Bush is not honest and trustworthy.

Here's the pragmatic punchline: 56% of registered voters said they'd be likely to vote against a local candidate supported by Bush; 34% said the opposite. "Only 9% said their first choice in next year's elections would be a Republican who supports Bush on almost every major issue."

Good indications for Democrats in 2006.
