Just When You Thought It Couldn't Go Lower

Bush's approval rating drops to 37%.

Lawrence O'Donnell, who seems to have pretty good sources on the CIA leak story, predicts the following: "At least three high level Bush Administration personnel indicted and possibly one or more very high level unindicted co-conspirators."

In a subsequent post, O'Donnell says Karl Rove's agreement to testify again before the grand jury is a solid indication his lawyer thinks he'll be indicted.

The Washington Post reports a "source close to Rove said Bush's chief political adviser and his legal team are now genuinely concerned he could face charges."

The New York Times adds to the speculation: "In recent days, Mr. Rove has been less visible than usual at the White House, fueling speculation that he is distancing himself from Mr. Bush or has been sidelined." Rolly

While it looked like his poll numbers had bottomed, a new CBS News poll shows President Bush's job approval rating "has fallen to his lowest rating ever." Just 37% "now approve of the job he is doing as president, while 58 percent disapprove."

In addition, an astonishing 69% "say things in the U.S. are pretty seriously off on the wrong track -- the highest number since CBS News started asking the question in 1983."

Huge finding: "And for the first time in this poll, fewer than half the public approves of the way he is handling the campaign against terrorism. 46 percent now approve, but 46 percent disapprove." Rolly
