In the wake of President Bush's "surge" speech, Rasmussen Reports has today recorded an approval rating of 35% for the President -- "the lowest level of approval ever measured by Rasmussen Reports," according to the firm. What makes this even more striking is the fact that Rasmussen has generally recorded better numbers for the President than other pollsters. According to Rasmussen, Bush's numbers have plummeted at a staggering pace since his speech — from 44% on Wednesday, to 39% on Thursday, to 35% today. That's a nine point drop in the two-days since his televised address. View a screen grab of Rasmussen's polling chart here.
