Zero - ZERO! - percent of Americans believe the economy is improving.

No Americans say that the national economy is getting better, 13% say it is staying the same, and 82% say the national economy is getting worse.

Has any poll anywhere ever measured 0% on any question?

Meanwhile, George W. Bush's approval rating manages somehow to remain in double digits.

Overall, 19% of Americans say that they approve of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president, 76% disapprove, and 5% are undecided.

Among Republicans (33% of adults registered to vote in the survey), 48% approve of the way Bush is handling his job and 46% disapprove. Among Democrats (40% of adults registered to vote in the survey), 3% approve and 95% disapprove of the way Bush is handling his job. Among independents (27% of adults registered to vote in the survey), 8% approve and 87% disapprove of the way Bush is handling his job as president.

Who on earth are the 19 percent of Americans who approve of the job that Bush is doing? What constituency feels it is being well-served by Bush's governance?
