US PRESIDENT BUSH SPEAKS ABOUT EDUCATION DURING VISIT TO PENNSYLVANIA
(2004-02-18) A statewide survey reports that President Bush's approval rating has dipped below 50% for the first time during his presidency. The Ohio Poll's findings were released today, with less than two weeks remaining until the state's March second primary election.

The latest Ohio Poll reported that 49% of Ohioans approved of Bush's job performance, 49% disapproved and 2% had no opinion. That ran close to the 51% approval rating Bush received nationally in a recent Gallup poll.

In April last year, the Ohio Poll found that Bush's job approval rating was 76% as US troops were at war in Iraq. His approval rating in Ohio peaked at 87% in November 2001, weeks after the September 11th terrorist attacks.

1. As an Ohioan....I can verify this.

A lot of letters to the editor being anti-Bush lately. My town is pretty fundamental and close-minded, very pro Bush too. The immigrant policy set a fire under their ass, as did the space proposal.

I new the tide was turning...but wow... I didn't know it was THAT low. Our Governor's approval rating is low as well.

2. Taft? You're absolutely right. He's a moron.

Ohio's own version of Dubya.
