WASHINGTON (AFP) — US President George W. Bush's approval ratings remain low amid public doubts over the war in Iraq and the government's response to Hurricane Katrina, according to a new poll released over the weekend.

Bush received a 40 percent approval rating on his job performance in the poll commissioned by Newsweek magazine.

The results, released on Saturday, were similar to other surveys in recent weeks that showed a decline in Bush's ratings in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Three weeks ago, Bush's approval rating was at 38 percent in a previous Newsweek poll, just after Katrina slammed the US Gulf coast.
