Bush Approval Rating Plummets Among Independents
The Washington Post reports that while Bush's approval rating this month remains at 48% (disapproval is at 52%):
A clear majority of Americans say President Bush is ignoring the public's concerns and instead has become distracted by issues that most people say they care little about, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The survey found that 58 percent of those interviewed said Bush is mainly concentrating in his second term on problems and partisan squabbles that these respondents said were unimportant to them.

In a bad sign for Republicans,
... a strong majority of self-described political independents--68 percent--say they disagreed with the president's priorities.
