Rasmussen Poll: Bush JA @ 44%(Up again!) Rasmussen Reports ^ rasmussenreports.com President Bush Job Approval June 23, 2006 Forty-four percent (44%) of Americans approve of the way that George W. Bush is performing his role as President. That’s the highest rating he has received since April 14. This update is based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. With a three-percentage point margin of sampling error, this spike may be little more than statistical noise. However, we provide Premium Members with supplemental data based upon a seven-day rolling average. This involves a larger sample (3,500 interviews) and eliminates any possible day-of-week bias in the data. As a result, it is a more stable measure of the overall trends. Using the seven-day rolling average, the President’s Job Approval has been at 41% for most of the past two weeks. That’s a modest rebound from the 38% level we found in the second half of May. Premium Members can see our latest numbers from Pennsylvania and Ohio. Today’s polling releases on the public site include a tight Governor’s race in Maine, a not so close Maine Senate race, and a solid lead for Alabama Governor Bob Riley (R ). As CBS and Dan Rather part ways, we also took a look back at public perceptions of Rather’s performance in Election 2004. Other recent releases show Washington Senator Maria Cantwell’s (D) support continues to decline. In Virginia, James Webb (D) has pulled to within 10 points of Senator George Allen (R). Governor Kathryn Sebelius (D) is hanging on to a decent lead in the very red state of Kansas.
