Ratings of President and All Major Cabinet Members Drop to Their Lowest Levels of Bush Presidency Thursday April 22, 6:36 pm ET ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- President Bush's job rating, and those of the major members of his cabinet, have fallen to their lowest levels of the Bush presidency. But there is no evidence that Senator John Kerry has benefited from this decline. According to a new Harris Poll of 979 adults surveyed by telephone by Harris Interactive® between April 8 and 15, 2004, President Bush and Senator Kerry enjoy equal support among all adults but President Bush has small leads among registered voters and likely voters. Most of the poll findings are good news for the Democrats. For example: * President Bush's job ratings are down to 48% positive, 51% negative, the worst ratings of his presidency and the first time his negative rating is greater (albeit insignificantly) than his positive rating. * Vice President Dick Cheney's ratings have fallen to 36% positive, 52% negative, compared to 41% positive, 48% negative in February. * Secretary of State Colin Powell's ratings have fallen to 63% positive, 31% negative, also his worst ratings since he took office. However, he remains by far the most popular member of the cabinet. * Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's ratings have fallen to 45% positive, 47% negative from 50% positive, 43% negative in February. * Attorney General John Ashcroft's ratings have fallen to 40% positive, 45% negative compared to 44% positive, 42% negative in February. All of these are their lowest ratings since they took office. biz.yahoo.com
