Another thing Bush and Schwarzenegger have in common...


...is that they're both enjoying the lowest approval ratings (and highest disapproval ratings) of their careers.

A Washington Post poll (link is to a PDF) has President Bush at 48% approve, 51% disapprove. CNN's numbers (45/53) are even less promising for W.

Meanwhile, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's stats (steady at an unimpressive 40% approval since early April) have started to slide once again, instead of rebounding after the announcement of the special election, as some had predicted:

Schwarzenegger approval ratings sliding
(AP) Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's call for a special election and a new advertising campaign to promote his agenda have failed to arrest his slide in popularity, according to a new statewide poll.

According to the Field Poll released Tuesday, 37 percent of registered California voters approve of Schwarzenegger's job performance, a drop of 18 percentage points since February.

Continuing a trend that began in January, 53 percent of registered California voters said they do not approve of Schwarzenegger's performance. That's a jump of 18 percentage points since February.


37/53. Too bad there's no recall measure on the fall ballot.
