Guardian Unlimited | World Latest | Poll: Bush Job Approval Dips to New Low:

"About one-third of adults, 35 percent, said they think the country is headed in the right direction, while 43 percent said they approve of the job being done by Bush. Just 41 percent say they support his handling of the war, also a low-water mark.

``There's a bad mood in the country, people are out of sorts,'' said presidential scholar and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution Charles Jones, who lives near Charlottesville, Va. ``Iraq news is daily bad news. The election in Iraq helped some, and the formation of the government helped some, but dead bodies trump the more positive news.''

While Bush has gotten generally low scores for his handling of domestic issues for many months, most Americans have been supportive of his foreign policy. Not any more.

The poll conducted for AP by Ipsos found 45 percent support Bush's foreign policy, down from 52 percent in March."
