Poll: Bush's Approval Rating Rises
A new Fox News poll shows President Bush’s job approval numbers on the rebound.
Bush’s approval rating jumped six points over last month’s result to 42 percent among Americans surveyed. His disapproval numbers still outpace that figure, however, with 48 percent dissatisfied with his job performance, primarily centered on the war in Iraq.
Roughly equal numbers of Americans surveyed think the president either shared the best information available regarding pre-Iraq war intelligence or that he intentionally misled the country on that intelligence.
Democrats are trying to pound away at this apparent uneasiness with attacks on the president’s credibility coming from the usual suspects, such as Senators Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Joe Biden, as well as Reps. Nancy Pelosi and, surprisingly, Rep. John Murtha.
The White House has taken measured steps to move forward with its policy agendas on the war on terrorism and Iraq, immigration reform, the U.S. economic policy and other issues.
Earlier this week, President Bush spoke on U.S.-Mexico border patrol issues in Texas and Arizona. He later addressed the U.S. Naval Academy with a fresh outline on the strategy for victory in Iraq and, Friday, made comments regarding the recent positive economic news.
Opinion Dynamics Corporation conducted the national telephone poll of 900 registered voters for FOX News on November 29-30.
