President George W. Bush's approval rating have plummeted to and all time low according to a Fox Opinion Dynamics poll.

Bush Losing Support

The Bush poll numbers dropped across the board - and is losing support among his base as only 66 percent of Republicans approve which is down from 84 percent a year ago.

"It seems clear that many Republicans, while they may still like and support George Bush, are growing uneasy with what may happen to their candidates -- and the policies they support -- in the November elections," said John Gorman, chairman of the polling company Opinion Dynamics.

Among the 57 percent of those polled who disapprove of Bush's performance, almost half, 48 percent, gave the Iraq War as the major reason.

That was followed by "doing a bad job" at 24 percent, disagreement on issues, 22 percent, and the economy and jobs, 17 percent. Among Democrats, 11 percent approve today, while 14 percent approved last April.

"This unease about the direction of the party is now showing up as an erosion of the near unanimous support Bush has enjoyed among the Republican rank-and-file for the last six years, Gorman added.
