Nearly 75 percent of Americans give US President and his Vice President failing marks for the job they are doing in leading the US.
Seventy two percent of the 1,003 adults polled by Harris Interactive gave both George W. Bush and Dick Cheney a negative rating for on-the-job performance, meaning they believed the performance of the two leaders to be poor.
The number of Americans who saw the president and vice president in a positive light was around 1/3 of what it had been for both men after the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington in September 2001, Harris said.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice gained the best of the failures, with just over half of those polled, 51 percent, rating her performance negatively.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates fared slightly worse, with 55 percent of poll respondents considering him negatively, while 57 percent gave failing mark to House Speaker, Democrat Nancy Pelosi, for her performance after ten months on the job.
But scoring worst of all was Congress; nearly four out of five Americans, or 77 percent, saw the work of the two legislative chambers, the House of Representatives and Senate, in a negative light.
