LOL Thanks, el polvo. :) Bush's approval rating drops further: Bush's job approval rating slipped to 50 percent in the CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll of more than 1,000 Americans -- down from 60 percent in August and 71 percent in March. Poll Says Bush's Approval Rating Down, Clark Up WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush's approval rating dropped to the lowest level of his presidency according to a poll released on Monday, which shows him running slightly behind Democratic presidential candidate retired Gen. Wesley Clark. Bush's job approval rating slipped to 50 percent in the CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll of more than 1,000 Americans -- down from 60 percent in August and 71 percent in March. Clark, the former NATO commander who joined the field of Democratic presidential contenders last week, led Bush 48 percent to 46 percent among those polled. Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and Clark were both narrowly ahead of the president, according to the poll of registered voters,. Three other candidates in the group of 10 Democrats vying for the president's job -- former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri and Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut -- were close to Bush in the poll. The survey indicates Bush's job performance rating declined as questions about the U.S. effort in Iraq rose. It found that Americans were split over whether Iraq was worth going to war over. A month ago, 63 percent held the view that it was. In the latest poll, nearly 90 percent said they do not think that the war is over, up from the 58 percent in May, after Bush declared that major combat had ended. The telephone poll of 1,003 people was conducted Sept. 19-21 and has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points. 09/23/03 10:25
