A New Low
A new Washington Post/ABC News Poll "found that 55 percent of the public believes the Libby case indicates wider problems 'with ethical wrongdoing' in the White House. And by a 3 to 1 ratio, 46 percent to 15 percent, Americans say the level of honesty and ethics in the government has declined rather than risen under Bush.
In the aftermath of the latest crisis to confront the White House, Bush's overall job approval rating has fallen to 39 percent, the lowest of his presidency in Post-ABC polls. Barely a third of Americans -- 34 percent -- think Bush is doing a good job ensuring high ethics in government, which is slightly lower than President Bill Clinton's standing on this issue when he left office."
Ouch. A lower rating on ethics than Clinton. That must hurt. So much for the Bush administration's promise to restory honesty and integrity to the White House.
