President Bush’s approval rating, a record low, in a new American Research Group poll. His approval is 33 percent in a new Rasmussen poll, another record low.
But I don’t want to be pessimistic about record lows, so here’s a record high: gas prices.
Gas prices hit record levels in the Triad on Tuesday, surging past previous highs set in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
The average price for a gallon of unleaded jumped to $3.134 , an increase of nearly three cents from Monday, AAA Carolinas reported.
The previous high, $3.129 , had been set Sept. 6, 2005.
The national average jumped a penny Tuesday, reaching $3.209, also a record.
But you knew that didn’t you?
