Moore Page: 1, 2, 3 Next GALLUP NEWS SERVICE PRINCETON, NJ -- President George W. Bush's job approval rating has remained essentially steady for the past month, according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup survey conducted last week. The Republican-controlled Congress, however, has not fared as well, experiencing a significant drop in approval. At the same time, a majority of Americans are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the country, which is no change from the middle of January, but a significant change from early January, when Americans were approaching the new year with a more optimistic attitude. Bush Approval The latest poll, conducted Feb. 9-12, shows 51% of Americans approving, and 46% disapproving, of Bush's job performance. In four readings over the past month, his approval rating has fluctuated between 49% and 53%, suggesting little substantive change over that period. But the current rating is down significantly from the middle of last December, after the capture of Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein. Although Bush's approval rating had been as low as 50% twice in the fall of 2003, Hussein's capture was followed by a seven-point "rally effect," with public approval of the president's job performance jumping from 56% to 63%.
