Bush ratings show little gain from Saddam capture

NEW YORK (AFP) - The capture of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) had a minimal effect on President George W. Bush (news - web sites)'s approval ratings, which are hovering at their lowest levels since he took office in January, 2001, according to a poll.

The Harris Poll, conducted before and after the ousted Iraqi leader's capture on December 13, found only a slight improvement in the president's ratings, up from 48 percent positive, 51 percent negative, to 50 percent positive, 49 percent negative.

They were the worst monthly ratings Harris has reported for the president since the September 11 terrorist attacks of two years ago, and the highest negative ratings since he took office.
