New Poll: 60% Disapprove of Bush's Performance
A new CNN-Gallup poll was released this afternoon.
The latest results show only 36% of those polled saying they "approve" of the way Bush is handling his job. Bush's previous low was 37%, set last November.
Sixty percent of those polled said they "disapprove" of Bush's performance. That matches an all-time worst rating hit last November and again two weeks ago.
Democrats now have their larges advantage since 1992. By 55% to 39%, the respondents favored Democrats over Republicans. Let's hope this time the Dems can take advantage of it.
More findings: It's the war in Iraq that has people most dissatisfied.
57% said sending U.S. troops to Iraq was a mistake -- up from 55% two weeks earlier and the highest reading since a 59% result last October.....Asked two years ago if they were "certain that the U.S. will win" the war with Iraq, 79% of those polled said yes. The answer last weekend: 22%.
The other side of that question has turned sharply as well. Two years ago, just 1% of those polled thought it was unlikely or certain that the U.S. would not win the war with Iraq. The latest result: 41%.
By 48 to 40%, respoondents said Democrats would do a better job of handling the situation in Iraq. Preference for Republican handling of terrorism is only at 4 points....45% to 41%.
Interestingly, the economy did not hurt Bush here as 59% thought it is doing okay or better, up from a year ago.
