Bush's Job Approval at 37% After Zarqawi's Death, Poll Says

June 14 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush's job approval rating is at 37 percent, up 1 percentage point, in a NBC News and the Wall Street Journal poll taken after the death of terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and the formation of a new government in Iraq.

Approval for Bush's job performance remains less than 40 percent for the seventh straight survey, NBC reported. The approval of the job of Congress was 23 percent, the poll found.

Forty-nine percent of registered voters want a Democratic- controlled Congress after November's elections, while 38 percent would like Republicans to retain control. That 11-point gap compares to a six-point advantage for Democrats in an April poll by the two news organizations.

The survey of 1,002 adults was conducted from June 9-12 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, NBC said.

Zarqawi was the most wanted terrorist in Iraq, with a $25 million U.S. bounty on his head. He was killed during a coalition raid June 7 north of Baghdad. Bush made a surprise visit to Baghdad this week.
