Which is a good thing, as those were slightly higher than  the past few months.

Thirty-nine percent (39%) of Americans approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. Fifty-nine percent (59%) disapprove.

Those figures include 15% who Strongly Approve and 39% who Strongly Disapprove.

The President earns approval from 76% of Republicans, 12% of Democrats, and 32% of those not affiliated with either major political party.

What surprises me is that 12% of Democrats approve, as does 32% of unaffiliated voters. In the “disapprove” category, only 39% “strongly disapprove”. The remaining 61% either approved or “somewhat” disapproved.

Meanwhile, as posted yesterday, 43% approve of General Petraeus’ recommendations, while 38% disapprove. The remaining are unsure.
