Poll: Laura Bush Broadly Popular AP Laura Bush Tuesday, July 24, 2001 From Fox news: WASHINGTON — First lady Laura Bush is viewed positively by almost two-thirds of Americans after six months in the White House, a poll finds. She hasn't been as divisive a figure as her predecessor. Mrs. Bush also hasn't made a strong impression yet, according to the poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. The current first lady hasn't run into the partisan and gender resentment faced by former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. Men were just as likely as women to have a positive view of Mrs. Bush. Half of Democrats saw her favorably and one-fourth unfavorably in the poll. Half of Republicans viewed Mrs. Clinton unfavorably early in her term and more than a third of men viewed her unfavorably. The poll about Mrs. Clinton came after several months of coverage of her handling of the leadership of a commission on health care reforms. She had taken a more traditional role of politician's spouse during the 1992 presidential campaign after her comment that she "could have stayed home and baked cookies" drew harsh criticism. Mrs. Clinton's unpopularity peaked in early 1995, and she was viewed most favorably in late 1998, by two-thirds of the public, during the effort to impeach her husband. Mrs. Clinton, now a senator from New York, is viewed favorably by 55 percent. The public clearly sees Mrs. Bush very differently. "Laura Bush has got very wide acceptance ... she's almost the anti-Hillary," said Carroll Doherty, editor of the Pew poll. "She's not nearly as divisive, broadly accepted, but she hasn't yet made a strong impression on the American people." When people were asked to choose which first lady has best embodied the role, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush and Mrs. Clinton were chosen more often than the current first lady. Those under age 30 were less likely to view Mrs. Bush favorably (53 percent) than citizens over 50 (73 percent). Blacks were about evenly divided abut her. When people were asked what word best describes Mrs. Bush, they offered such responses as "nice," "lady," "classy," "intelligent," "quiet" and "good." The same question about Mrs. Clinton drew such answers as "intelligent," "smart," "bossy," "good," "aggressive" and "domineering." The poll of 1,003 adults was taken July 2-12 and has an error margin of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Interesting >>>>>'I noticed when President Clinton was in office his secretary of state made 26 visits to the Middle East before going to any country in Africa. I think the devastation of the wars in Africa is much more serious than the conflicts in the Middle East,'' he said. Colin Powell has already Gone to Africa. >>>>>>In the wide-ranging interview with the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, Carter also said the United States should respect the Kyoto Protocol, the international agreement designed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, A high IQ and an engineering background and he does not have a clue. No-one is posting any credible info. >>>>He also called the proposed shield against incoming missiles ''technologically ridiculous.'' Carter said it goes against the 1972 treaty with the Soviet Union and is a setback for the ''prestige and respect due our country.'' ''I think it will re-escalate the nuclear arms race,'' he added. The last test worked and Russia seems to have no problems and wants to reduce the number of weapons. I think President Jimmy Carter is an honest guy who is very mis-informed. tom watson tosiwmee
