A recent opinion poll shows the public approval of the George Bush administration has sunk again, this time to a record low of 32 percent.

The opinion poll showed most US citizens base their dissatisfaction on the disastrous war in Iraq that has cost more than 3,450 US lives, Prensa Latina reported Friday.

The survey, released on Thursday, reflects widespread discontent over how Bush is handling the war in Iraq, efforts against terrorism and domestic issues.

A problem such as illegal immigration was also criticized by many interviewees.

The 68 percent negative to the Republican administration is the greatest rejection of Bush in the last four years.

Less than a third of those interviewed approved of the official program regarding health care, creation of jobs and foreign policy.

The poll involved telephone interviews with 1,000 randomly chosen adults from June 4 to 6. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.

Bush still wins approval from seven in 10 Republicans, though that is near his historic low for Republican support of 67 per cent in January. Eight per cent of Democrats gave him their approval.
