WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A new ABC News/Washington Post poll released Monday shows President George W. Bush with a 55 percent job approval rating, the lowest rating given to a newly elected president since Dwight Eisenhower. Bush's approval rating compares to a previous low of 60 percent for former president Richard Nixon in late February 1969, and a high of 76 percent for George Bush, Bush's father, shortly after he took office in 1989. Bill Clinton had an approval rating of 63 percent in February 1993, the month after he moved into the White House. The poll of 1,050 adults, conducted Feb. 21-25, also showed only lukewarm support for Bush's $1.6 billion tax cut proposal, with only 22 percent of Americans giving top priority to a tax cut, ABC News and the Washington Post said. Seventy-seven percent cited other priorities, including strengthening Social Security, reducing the debt or spending more on programs such as education and health care, according to the pollsters. The poll showed that if taxes were to be cut, 53 percent of Americans favored a smaller, more targeted approach, rather than Bush's across-the-board plan. from: news.findlaw.com
