WASHINGTON -- Despite criticism over prewar intelligence and postwar casualties, President Bush retains surprisingly strong support on Iraq, and he benefits from rising optimism about the economy, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found. Mr. Bush made clear that he believes he has turned a corner on his recent political difficulties by staging his first extended postwar news conference. If I were Bush, I wouldn't count on his having "turned a corner". The anti Bush sentiment in this country is growing.

You really think so??? Then you are a believer of propaganda and lies. Unrest in the US is growing and growing rapidly.

NEWS: Bush's popularity plummeting, reveals latest poll Washington, August 9: US President George W Bush's popularity rating continues to drop with a latest poll released on Friday showing that 57 per cent of the Americans now want Bush to pay more attention to the country's economy and less to the war on terrorism. According to the poll conducted by the Pew Centre, a Washington electoral monitor, Bush's popularity rating dropped to 53 per cent in August from 58 per cent in July, bringing it close to his level before the September 11 attacks. By comparison, Bush's popularity rating was 74 per cent during the war in Iraq, and 86 per cent immediately after September 11, 2001. The poll also showed a sharp increase - 57 per cent from 27 per cent in July - in Americans who want Bush to pay more attention to the economy rather than on war against terrorism. Last January, 43 per cent thought he should concentrate more on terrorism, less on the economy. The poll, taken between July 14 and August 5 of 2,528 adults, also indicated that Bush would beat a hypothetical Democratic candidate in next year's presidential election by five percentage points, 43 per cent to 38 per cent. The margin of error was plus or minus two percentage points. In April, just after the fall of Baghdad, the Pew poll showed that he would win by 14 points, 48 per cent to 34 per cent. expressindia.com
