Bush Job Approval: 38%

Zogby America telephone Poll shows slight drop from 40% last month; Congressional Democrats maintain lead over Republican counterparts


President Bush’s job approval rating dipped slightly to 38% in the latest Zogby America telephone poll, conducted Feb. 27 to March 2, marking a small drop from 40% in a similar poll two weeks ago.

The survey also shows Democrats holding on to a six-point – 38% to 32% – advantage over Republicans in a generic measurement of which party is favored heading into this year’s midterm congressional elections. Twenty-eight percent said they were unsure.

Bush continues to show weakness among his political base, as more than one in four Republicans - 28% - give him poor marks for his performance. Among rural voters – another stronghold for the second-term Texan – 44% approve of his work leading the nation, while 42% of suburban voters and 45% of married voters said he is doing a good job. Among Conservatives, 60% give him positive marks, while three-quarters of those who consider themselves “very conservative” were pleased with the President’s work.

Just 27% of moderates gave him a positive job rating.

3. Democrats holding on to a six-point -38% to 32%-; advantage

That sucks. We are almost as unpopular as the criminals. We are not doing a good job communicating. (Or no one is hearing it.)

5. damn shame we don't own the media

then you'd be seeing stories about the public prefers democrats 2-1.

4. his core support is amazing

both amazingly high by any rational standard and also amazingly low by typical banana republican standards.

only 3/4 of the "very conservatives" were pleased? this is terrible for someone who relies exclusively on his base.

HE'S TOAST!
