BUSH FALLS IN LATEST POLL Most Americans now believe the Iraq war was not worth it, according to a new poll. The CBS News/New York Times poll showed a sharp fall in public confidence in President George W Bush's ability to handle foreign and economic policy issues. The poll found new lows for Bush's foreign policy performance, which garnered just a 44% approval rating. Among those questioned, 50% percent lacked confidence in his ability to handle an international crisis and 53% said they now believed the Iraq war was not worth it. Bush's overall job approval rating was just above 50%, almost back to the level before the September 11, 2001, attacks and down sharply from his 89% approval rating after the attacks, the poll said. Just over a year before the Nov. 2004 election, a solid majority, 56%, of Americans thought the country was seriously on the wrong track.
