Voters continue strong support of Bush job performance; Majority says President deserves to be re-elected; Plurality urges Bush to curtail campaigning for GOP candidates, Latest Zogby America Poll reveals zogby.com Released: June 24, 2002 Zogby Newswire President George W. Bush’s overall job performance rating continues to receive strong support among U.S. likely voters, latest Zogby America results reveal. The poll, conducted June 17-19 of 1008 likely voters nationwide shows voters giving Bush a 69% positive, 28% negative job performance rating. In May, voters gave Bush a 70% positive, 30% negative job performance rating, and a 69% positive, 30% negative rating in April. The latest rating still represents a low in job performance for Bush since the September 11th terrorist attacks. In February, voters gave Bush a 74% positive, 25% negative rating. The week before the attacks, voters gave Bush 50% positive, 49% negative job performance rating. Bush re-election? Results also show a majority of voters (51%) says President Bush deserves to be re-elected for another term in 2004. In contrast, 28% say it is time for a new president, and another 20% are not sure. Republicans are staunch supporters of Bush deserving re-election (86% re-elect, 4% someone new) compared to Independents (42% re-elect, 27% someone new, 32% not sure) and Democrats (27% re-elect, 51% someone new, 22% not sure). No Time for Campaigning? A plurality of likely voters (48%) believe President Bush should curtail his time and effort spent in campaigning for other Republican candidates while the nation tries to focus on preventing further terrorist attacks. In contrast, 27% believe the President should continue as normal his campaigning for other GOP candidates. Another 15% are not sure. Democrats (30% campaign normally, 54% curtail campaigning) and Independents (24% campaign normally, 60% curtail campaigning) are strong advocates of Bush curtailing his campaign schedule for other GOP candidates, while Republicans (54% campaign normally, 34% curtail campaigning) are strong advocates of Bush continuing as normal his campaigning for other candidates. Pollster John Zogby: “Bush’s popularity still remains enormous. But with only 51% saying Bush deserves reelection, Karl Rove is running a campaign as if a close election is ahead. There could be good reason for that strategy.”
