You're a Liar and Nobody Likes You!

Well...maybe i don't speak for everybody, but Bush's numbers are getting (somehow) worse. From MSNBC:

WASHINGTON - The deadly recent attacks on American troops in Iraq are increasing the pressure on President Bush to develop an exit strategy. The U.S. death toll from the war is now over 1,800, and a new AP-Ipsos poll shows the lowest approval yet for Bush’s handling of Iraq, just 38 percent.

To add in another layer, the public seems to have lost its ability to trust our president. this is a pretty damn big deal for a man who's path to power has been the fact that he's likable (that and an obscene amount of GOP fealty). Here, the AP elaborates:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans' approval of President Bush's handling of Iraq is at its lowest level yet, according to an AP-Ipsos poll that also found fewer than half now think he's honest.
...
Bush's overall job approval was at 42 percent, with 55 percent disapproving. That's about where Bush's approval has been all summer but slightly lower than at the beginning of the year.

The portion of people who consider Bush honest has dropped slightly from January, when 53 percent described him that way while 45 percent did not. Now, people are just about evenly split on that issue - with 48 percent saying he's honest and 50 percent saying he's not.
