Mixed feelings about Bush

03/03/2005 14:47 - (SA)

Washington - A majority of Americans say President George W Bush has a different set of priorities to theirs and oppose his plan to reform the pension system but are more optimistic about Iraq, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll published on Thursday.

Bush's approval rating remained unchanged at 49%, while 53% felt efforts to bring order to Iraq were going well, up from 41% a month ago. Those who disapproved of Bush's Iraq policy fell from 55 to 50%, while those who approved rose from 40 to 45%.

Sixty-three percent of the 1 100 adults consulted Thursday through Monday said Bush had a different set of priorities on domestic issues and put jobs and health care ahead of reforming the Social Security system.

Fifty-eight percent also felt they did not share the same foreign policy priorities as the president: 59% said the United States should not try to change dictatorships to democracies and stay out of other countries' affairs.

1. Mixed feelings?
No...individuals beginning to get a clue - or at least I hope they are getting a clue.

4. Iraq is going well? If they can say this same time next year, I'll agree.
It's going well in the right wing media only because the truth is not being told.
