Bush's approval ratings in N.H. on the decline

DURHAM, N.H. (AP) _ President Bush's job approval ratings in New Hampshire have continued to decline, driven by dissatisfaction with the war in Iraq, a new poll found Monday.

The findings are based on the latest Granite State Poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. The poll is sponsored by CNN and WMUR-TV in Manchester.

Only 29 percent of the group polled say they approve of the job Bush is doing as president; 68 percent disapprove and 3 percent are neutral.

When asked about how the president is handling foreign affairs, only 26 percent of New Hampshire adults say they approve, 72 percent disapprove, and 2 percent are neutral.

Looking specifically at the continued involvement in Iraq, only 26 percent of the group approves of the way Bush has handled the situation there, 71 percent disapprove and 3 percent are neutral. Only 54 percent of the Republicans polled approve of Bush's handling of the situation in Iraq while 92 percent of Democrats and 73 percent of independents disapprove.

Support for going into Iraq in the first place also has declined in recent months. The poll said only 37 percent of those polled support the U.S. having gone to war in Iraq, 58 percent oppose the U.S. having gone to war and 5 percent are neutral.

A total of 515 randomly selected New Hampshire adults were interviewed by phone between March 27 and April 1. The margin of sampling error was plus of minus 4.3 percentage points.
