Bush Sets Popularity Record White House wannabe Tom Daschle must be grinding his teeth: President Bush has "soared higher, longer than any previous president in polls dating to 1938," according to a new poll by ABC News and the Washington Post. And though National Pinko Radio's Mara Liasson grumped this evening on Fox News Channel that the national pride that has bloomed since Sept. 11 is all show, the poll found "a swelling sense of patriotism that leads most to say this crisis has changed the nation for the better." Among the findings: Eighty-two percent approve of Bush's job performance, and 88 percent approve of his handling of the war. More than eight in 10 think the war is going well. Sixty-six percent say the United States is now doing all it reasonably can to prevent more terrorist attacks. Eighty-one percent say the United States is doing all it reasonably can to avoid U.S. military casualties. Only 44 percent say bin Laden must be killed or captured for the war to be a success. Seventy-two percent support sending U.S. troops to countries such as the Philippines and Yemen to capture terrorists. Seventy-two percent want the U.S. to oust Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Without backing from U.S. allies, support for attacking Iraq dips to 55 percent. Seventy-four percent say they're "extremely" proud to be an American, up from 55 percent in January 2001. An additional 18 percent are "very proud," for a total of 92 percent expressing high levels of patriotism. Eighty-six percent say Sept. 11 has changed the nation in a lasting way; 78 percent say it is a change for the better. Fifty-seven percent say the attacks changed their own lives in a lasting way. The poll was conducted by telephone from Thursday to Sunday among a random national sample of 1,008 adults. The results have a 3-point error margin. newsmax.com tom watson tosiwmee
