Bush is a clown and more and more Americans are waking up to that fact. Whether or not 23% is an accurate figure is irrelevant at this point. The botom line is that Bush's approval ratings are dropping because he is doing a crappy job. The majority of Americans now believe this. If you want to beleive he is doing a good job that's up to you. But you're simply living in a fantasy worls if you think the rest of the country agrees with you.
