As I thought. No surprises here. In Silicon Valley, the most important economic region of the state, Bush's approval rating has dropped precipitously from a year ago. His overall approval rating is 29-61% today, compared to 40-48% a year ago. And his handling of the situation with Iraq, which was 45-45% a year ago, stands at 25-65% today. Also in Silicon Valley, Bush's rating on handling of the economy worsened in March to 27-64% from 28-61% in January. The war in Iraq has done little to bolster Bush's standing in California. Overall, Californians say the war in Iraq has made the United States less safe. Only 28% said the war has made the U.S. safer while 46% said it has made the country less safe. Only in the Central Valley (35-30%) do people feel safer because of the war. Even in the conservative counties surrounding Los Angeles, 44% of the people say the war has made the country less safe compared to 33% who say it has made the country safer. In the Bay Area, including Silicon Valley, and Los Angeles, 52% of respondents say the country is less safe.
