Bush Starts Out Year With 60% Job Approval

PRINCETON, NJ -- President Bush enters the year in which he is seeking re-election in a historically strong position in terms of public opinion. A new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll finds 60% of Americans approving of the job Bush is doing as president, and a majority approves of his handling of both the economy and foreign affairs. Furthermore, a majority of registered voters continue to say they would vote to re-elect Bush as president, and in a head-to-head matchup with current Democratic front-runner Howard Dean, Bush leads by 20 percentage points. Historical Gallup data show that Bush is currently better positioned than Bill Clinton and the elder George Bush were at the outset of the years in which they sought re-election -- 1996 and 1992, respectively. Bush's early January job approval rating is the highest for an incumbent seeking re-election since Lyndon Johnson's in 1964.
