In face of devastating hurricanes, evangelicals deeply saddened by Bush's sagging popularity

COLORADO SPRINGS -- As images of New Orleans' devastation filled television screens in September, Christians like Sandra Budge of Bellevue, Washington, lamented the hurricane's more significant consequence: the president's sliding approval ratings.

"I feel so awful for the president," says Budge from her home, flipping back and forth between cable news networks. "The president is clearly losing face with the American people. I couldn't geel worse about that."

As for the victims, Budge says that she knew the stranded people would eventually be rescued.

"But who will help the President?" she said. "He may never recover from this." Some Christians are calling it "the worst political crisis in four years."
