Via the Hotline, two new polls still have Bush in the 30′s, CBS News at 36%, and Newsweek at 38% (both of adults). Dick Morris was predicting the other night that the bust-up of the terror plot would bounce Bush into the mid-40′s. That doesn’t seem to be happening (the CBS poll was taken after the news of the plot broke, on the 11th through the 13th). I’m not necessarily surprised. The polls show that Iraq is the issue that people care most about. Unless there’s discernible progress there, Bush’s numbers are probably going to keep dragging.
