Poll: Bush Performance Ratings Plummet

June 7, 2005 — The corrosive influence of the war in Iraq and a disconnect with the public on political priorities are casting a pall over the early months of George W. Bush's second term.

Fifty-two percent of Americans now disapprove of Bush's performance in office, the most (albeit by a single point) in ABC News/Washington Post polls since his presidency began. Forty-eight percent approve.

While that's still nearly an even division on Bush (with continued sharp polarization between Democrats and Republicans), intensity of sentiment is running against him: Thirty-eight percent "strongly" disapprove of his performance, compared with 27 percent who strongly approve.

That reflects Bush's weakness among political independents, who are nearly three times more likely to strongly disapprove than to strongly approve of his work overall.

4. LOL! the number they're calling "nearly an even division"...

Bush after the election called his mandate! And the media agreed! It was decisive then, but not now!! They are in full whore mode here.
