The latest from Pew Research:

The American public is highly critical of President Bush’s handling of Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. Two-in-three Americans (67%) believe he could have done more to speed up relief efforts, while just 28% think he did all he could to get them going quickly. At the same time, Bush’s overall job approval rating has slipped to 40% and his disapproval rating has climbed to 52%, among the highest for his presidency. Uncharacteristically, the president’s ratings have slipped the most among his core constituents ­ Republicans and conservatives.

Hopefully, many of them are now seeing what the rest of us saw way back when.

And Zogby polls report that Bush would lose in an election against every president since (and including) Jimmy Carter. In fact, Carter — the supposed ineffective president — would beat Bush by 8 percentage points.
