President George W. Bush, already facing scant public support, saw his approval rating slump to a new record low, according to a new survey released Monday.

The CNN television/Opinion Research survey found that just 24 percent of respondents believe Bush is doing a good job, against 76 percent who said that was not the case. One percent had no opinion.

Bush’s troubling popularity number was down from 28 percent in a CNN poll taken between October 31 and November 1.

It was the lowest approval rating since Harry Truman’s 67 percent in January 1952. The poll of 1,246 adult Americans was taken November 6-9.

The poll comes as the US president met Monday with his successor, president-elect Barack Obama, at the White House.
