Here is some information from major pollsters regarding Bush's approval ratings. I'm trying to track the trends in his popularity. I'm not sure if this will come out properly... I have it set up in a grid-format, but I don't know if it will take on Answerway's system.

The basic overall trend that I am seeing from these polls is that Bush hit his popularity low point in late October and early November. However, over the past couple of weeks his numbers have been creeping back up. The highest poll number shown is from Diageo/Hotline, which currently has Bush at 50%... an 11 point jump in a one month period. This is the ONLY poll to show such a huge jump, and so I would take it with a grain of salt. The Cook/RT poll has only been in existence long enough for 2 polls to take place, so no “trend” can really be gleaned from them. Furthermore, until they have a proven track record, I would look askance at anything they say. Only Zogby has Bush still trending downward. All other polls show Bush’s numbers going up over the past month or so. Most of those polls put his approval rating at 42%, and so I think that is a reasonable assumption.
Interesting information. Bush is not out of the game yet…
