Actually not the first poll. Survey USA has been covering them, and
support according to them seems to be dropping:

I give the Kos link, because the direct Survey USA  poll seems to be
down at present: Here it is in case it is up by the time your read it:

Don't  know how Survey USA compares in quality - a  phone only daily
tracking poll covering  1,200 people per day.
Anyway these are its results:

"Thinking just about the President of the United States ... Do you
approve or disapprove of President Bush's response to Hurricane
Katrina?"

xxxxxxxx       9/4   9/3   9/2    9/1    8/31
Approve        38    41    40     46      48
Disapprove   55    53    53     44      39
