Bush's re-elect poll numbers fall below 50%

Fewer than half of Americans say they will vote for President Bush in the next election, according to a new poll.

Around 47% of those questioned said they would back him - 39% said they would vote for a Democrat candidate.

It is the first time Bush's popularity has dropped below 50%.

But it is not the President's handling of the Iraq crisis that has triggered the slump in his popularity.

More than two-thirds described the nation's economy as poor - 10 points down on December.

Even so, 57% of Americans said they approved of the way Bush is handling the job of presidency and a similar amount supported sending American troops into Iraq.

The poll was carried out by CNN and the newspaper USA Today.
