A snapshot of recent opinion:

From CBS News (Tuesday):

President Bush's overall approval rating has fallen to the lowest level of his presidency, 44 percent, in the latest CBS News poll, reflecting the weight of instability in Iraq on public opinion of Mr. Bush even as the economy shows signs of improvement.

From the Pew Center (May 3-9):

President George W. Bush's job approval rating fell to 44 percent, a 4-point drop, following revelations that U.S. soldiers abused Iraqi prisoners, a poll by the Pew Center for the People and the Press shows.

An MSNBC headline, reporting on the Pew poll: Pollsters: Kerry aside, Bush is in trouble.

Reuters: Bush's poll numbers hitting the danger zone. From the article:

Low approval and re-election numbers are particularly bad for an incumbent, who already is well known to voters. Undecided voters, who have had plenty of time to evaluate the incumbent, often break heavily for the challenger.

But it's only May.
