The CBS-New York Times poll found that 45 percent say they have confidence in Bush's ability on international crises and 50 percent said they do not. On the economy, four in 10 said they have confidence in his ability to handle it, while 56 percent did not.

Almost six in 10, 56 percent, said they think Bush does not have the same priorities as they do.
