Poll: Bush's Approval Sinking

Overall, most Americans say things in the country are worse now than
they were five years ago.

Fifty-seven percent say things are worse, while 21% say they're
better.


After rising in public support following the capture of Saddam
Hussein, President Bush gives his State of the Union message next week
with a decidedly less positive audience.

A CBS News/New York Times poll of 1,022 adults puts the president's
approval rating at 50%, matching his lowest ever, and the largest
number ever -- 45% - disapproving.

This decline (from 60% approval the week after Saddam's capture) comes
after former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill's criticisms of the
administration in a book and in interviews, and after continuing
attacks on American troops in Iraq.

And there is other bad news for the president.

Less than half now approve of how he is handling the situation in
Iraq.

51% say the war was not worth the costs.

Two of the president's just-launched initiatives have met with
negative public assessment.

Most Americans oppose temporary work permits for illegal immigrants
and don't think a permanent space station on the moon is worth it.

Just 41% say the president has the same priorities on the issues as
they do.

Only 30% say he is more interested in protecting the interests of
ordinary Americans than in protecting the interests of large
corporations. Just 39% - fewer than before - have confidence in his
ability to make the right economic decisions.

And your point is?

C'mon, he's a cut-n-paste artist. Do you really expect him to understand
it, or explain it?

Bwahhh-haaaa-haaa!!!!!!!
Ain't these the same guys that backed Klintoon?
And reported that we are heading toward an ice age?
And Saddam would never be found?
And Al Gore will win the election in a 45 state landslide?
So far, their polling sucks, much like their reporting.
