New poll out...ABC News-Washington Post

Bush approval level in this poll was slightly lower than most presidents at the corresponding stage over the past 50 years, but higher than the approval for Bill Clinton and Gerald Ford. His support is tempered by deep reservations about his priorities.

A majority polled felt Bush is out of touch with people like them, think big business has too much influence over his administration and are lukewarm to his handling of issues such as prescription drugs, the environment, energy and patients' rights.

Two-thirds of Americans say large corporations, wealthy people and oil and gas companies have too much influence on the Bush administration.

By a 2-1 margin, people said it was more important to provide needed services than hold down the size of government. By a similar margin, more people thought Bush was more interested in holding down the size of government than providing needed services.

More than six in 10 said they doubt the Bush administration's almost $1.4 trillion tax cut will help the economy, and just over half say it will leave too little money to keep the budget balanced and pay for federal programs.
