Take a look at this!: POLL ANALYSES August 7, 2001 Public Critical of Bush's Vacation Plans But continues to give president positive ratings by David W. Moore GALLUP NEWS SERVICE PRINCETON, NJ -- With President Bush off to his ranch in Crawford, Texas for a month on what he calls a "working vacation," a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll finds the American public somewhat critical of the president’s long absence from the White House. Still, Bush's job approval and personal favorability ratings remain steady and, by a substantial margin, Americans are more likely to characterize the first six months of Bush's presidency as a success than as a failure. Too Much Vacation? Most Americans may not be aware of the fact that Bush is spending the next month in Texas, but when they are given that information, they express more opposition than support. The poll, conducted August 3-5, shows that 55% say that 30 days is too much time for the president to spend away from the White House, while 42% think it is not.... ...Bush's Ratings Remain Steady, First Six Months Viewed as a Success Whatever the public's reaction to the president's vacation schedule, Bush's job approval and personal favorability ratings remain steady. The poll shows that 55% of Americans approve of the way Bush is handling the presidency, not significantly different from the 57% rating measured in a Gallup poll two weeks ago. And 60% of Americans say they have a favorable opinion of the president, again essentially the same as the 62% rating measured by Gallup in early June.... ...The poll also finds that by a substantial margin -- 56% to 32% -- Americans characterize Bush's first six months in office as a success rather than a failure. These numbers are highly correlated with Bush's approval rating, of course, as 85% of those who approve of the president's job performance also characterize his presidency thus far as a success. Of those who disapprove of the president's job performance, just 15% see Bush’s first six months as a success. gallup.com
