New poll numbers are in and they're not good for Bush. Check out the raw data here.

From the tape:

WASHINGTON — President Bush's public standing, on a downward trend all summer, has slid to its lowest point since the September 11 attacks two years ago, a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll shows. (Related story:Poll results)

Due in large part to an economy that continues to lose jobs, despite positive indicators, and a situation in Iraq that is messier and more costly than Bush predicted, he is taking a big share of the blame.

A thin majority, 52%, approve of the overall job he is doing, down from this year's high of 71% in mid-April, when the war in Iraq still had a glow of victory.

It is an even farther fall for the president from the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, when his job approval hit a high of 90%.

On the economy, Bush gets his lowest mark, 45% approval.

Democratic pollster Mark Mellman says, "Bush ... has benefited from circumstances beyond his control. Now reality is setting in."

Bush's slippage suggests that if the election were held today, he would have a tough fight. Among registered voters, he holds a slim 47%-43% lead over an unnamed Democrat. That's down from a more comfortable 51%-39% lead he held two weeks ago.

In a nutshell, Bush is looking very vulnerable and both Dean and Clark are making huge strides upwards in the national consciousness. Put the two together and 43 will go down easy.
