President Bush Approval Rating is at 41% with his disapproval rating at 53% according to a NY TImes/CBS News poll.

The hurricane, alone, does not appear to have taken any significant toll on Mr. Bush’s overall job approval rating, which remains stuck virtually where it has been since early summer. But the findings do suggest that the slow federal response to the hurricane has increased public doubts about the Bush administration’s effectiveness. Fifty-six percent of Americans said they were now less confident about the government’s ability to respond to a terrorist attack or natural disaster.
