Clinton's Job-Approval Rating Falls Slightly This Week, Newsweek Poll Says By Vince Golle Clinton Approval Rating Drops 2 Percentage Points in Poll Washington, May 8 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. President Bill Clinton's job-approval rating dropped this week, a Newsweek poll said, as NATO bombings in Yugoslavia went on amid talk of peace agreement. Clinton's approval rating fell to 53 percent this week from 55 percent on May 1, the new nationwide poll said. In mid- February, Clinton's approval rating was 66 percent, according to the poll. While his job performance rating slipped, approval for Clinton's handling of the Kosovo situation stayed at 47 percent, while 36 percent disapproved his actions. The poll is in the May 17 issue of Newsweek. Forty-nine percent of Americans surveyed said they believe it would still be a victory for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization if a deal to stop the war in Yugoslavia included an armed peacekeeping force not under NATO control but including troops from NATO, Russia and other nations. Forty-seven percent of those polled said it would be a victory for Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic if a settlement allowed ethnic Albanian refugees to return to Kosovo, but many of them refused to return. If peace comes to Kosovo, 57 percent of those polled said they would support sending U.S. ground troops into the region to maintain stability. Fifty-eight percent said they would support U.S. financial aid to other Balkan countries if that would help keep the region stable. The poll questioned 669 adults on May 6 and 7 and also asked them about U.S. politics. Texas Governor George W. Bush is still a favorite among Republican voters for the 2000 presidential race, a separate Newsweek poll shows. Bush leads Republican hopefuls with 47 percent. Former Red Cross Director Elizabeth Dole is in second with 17 percent and former Vice President Dan Quayle is third with 9 percent. The poll also says Bush would beat Vice President Al Gore by a 54 percent to 34 percent margin in the run for president if the election were held now. Just three weeks ago, Bush was leading with 48 percent of the vote compared with Gore's 41 percent. Princeton Survey Research Associates did the polls for Newsweek and the survey has an overall margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points. ©1999 Bloomberg L.P. All rights reserved.
