Schwarzenegger's Approval Falls To New Low Of 28 Percent In Poll

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's popularity has sunk to a new low of 28 percent as he heads into his final months in office grasping for a legacy after a bitter budget fight, according to a new poll by the Public Policy Institute of California.
