Bush is doing as president, while 33% disapprove, and 12% have no opinion. The public's rating of Bush has been virtually unchanged over the last four times Gallup has measured it. In April, Bush's job approval reached 62%, but then fell two weeks later to 53% and has fluctuated in the mid-50 percent range since then. Bush's highest approval rating, 63%, occurred in early March, while his lowest ratings -- 53% -- occurred once at the end of March and again in the beginning of May. gallup.com Presidential Job Approval Race and ethnicity were consistent themes throughout the 2000 presidential campaign. As Texas governor, George W. Bush made concerted efforts to attract Hispanic voters in that state, and did the same on a national level in 2000. Bush also made efforts to court black voters, especially during the Republican convention, but in the end received only 9% of the black vote, according to the exit polls. By comparison, Bush netted 35% of the Hispanic vote and 54% of the white vote, and received 48% of the total vote in last year’s election. The new Gallup poll shows Bush with an overall job approval rating of 55%, consistent with his last several ratings. Thirty-three percent of Americans disapprove of the job Bush is doing. The data from the poll show that a higher percentage of both blacks and Hispanics currently approve of the job Bush is doing in office than voted for him on Election Day. Bush gets a 36% approval rating among blacks, which is significantly lower than he gets among whites (58%), but is much higher than the 9% of blacks who voted for him for president. Similarly, 59% of Hispanics now approve of Bush after only 35% of Hispanics chose him in the presidential election contest. gallup.com
