George W. Bush's overall job approval rating has returned to its lowest

A total of 14% of Americans say the national economy is getting better,
which is down from 30% in December and 52% say the national economy is
getting worse, which is up from 40% in December.

When asked about the national economy a year from now, 15% say it will
be better, which is down from 28% in December, and 62% say it will be
