Now we know the reason for the lies about yesterday's job numbers: President Bush's poll numbers

From a Zogby Poll:

President George W. Bush’s job performance ratings have reached the lowest point since his pre-Inauguration days, continuing a steady decline since a post-9/11 peak, according to a new Zogby America poll of 1,013 likely voters conducted September 3-5.

Less than half (45%) of the respondents said they rated his job performance good or excellent, while a majority (54%) said it was fair or poor.  In August Zogby International polling, his rating was 52% positive, 48% negative.  Today’s results mark the first time a majority of likely voters have given the president an unfavorable job performance rating since he took office.

Six months after winning a war, he would have trouble winning an election:

Just two in five (40%) said they would choose Bush if the election were held today, while 47% said they would elect a Democratic candidate.  In August polling, respondents were split (43% each) over President Bush or any Democratic challenger.
