Poll: Public's Trust in Bush Hits New Low

WASHINGTON - The public's trust in President Bush (news - web sites) is at the lowest point of his presidency, with about half of those surveyed saying he is honest and trustworthy and almost that many saying he is not, according to a poll released Thursday.

The ABC News-Washington Post poll found that 52 percent felt Bush was trustworthy, while 42 percent did not. The poll found public support for the war in Iraq (news - web sites) slipping and people were about evenly split on whether they approve of the job he is doing as president or not.

For the first time in this poll, support for the war dipped just below half, 48 percent, with an equal share, 50 percent, saying it was not worth fighting.

More than half in the poll, 54 percent, said that the Bush administration intentionally exaggerated the threat from weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but more of that group says administration officials exaggerated the threat than said they lied.

The poll highlighted Bush's vulnerabilities after a month dominated by the Democratic presidential campaign and an admission by administration officials that banned weapons may not be found in Iraq.

A tracking poll by the National Annenberg Election Survey found that Bush's overall job approval dropped sharply in late January after David Kay, the former chief U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq, said he did not think those weapons existed.

In other findings in the ABC-Post poll, Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry (news - web sites) was ahead of Bush 51 percent to 43 percent in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup.

The public remains strongly supportive of Bush on his handling of the campaign against terrorism and his leadership skills — with six in 10 or more approving of him on terrorism and saying he is a strong leader.

Almost half in the poll, 47 percent, said the economy has gotten worse while Bush was president — reflecting recent signs that consumers are growing more anxious about the economy. Only four in 10 said Bush understand the problems of people like them.

The poll of 1,003 adults was taken Tuesday and Wednesday. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Heh, I knew the right wingers on Lit didn't want to respond to this.

How do you explain your own compadres out there losing trust in Bush? You can't.

 

[Fawkin'Injun]

You need to sit down and discuss polls with Kerry's mentor Dukakis 'casue he had a huge lead at this time in the primaries too and as a student of history you know the twofold truth that it repeats itself and it NEVER pays to be the front-runner in American politics.

Ask Bush.
Ask Kerry.
Did you see The Enquirer?

She's a looker. Smart too...




Look LT when we don't respond to you it's not because you're beating us to death with issues. It's usually because you are acting like a lunatic. So before this thing degrades any further, I conceed the point. You win. Hanns down.

 

[Le Jacquelope]

You don't respond because you don't have any counter arguments.

Just like when I challenged you to explain why you have abandoned your Libertarian beliefs in favor of supporting Bush, and in front of Robdownsouth you chickened out like a poor beaten down little redman.

You've gone against me with so many bullshit arguments that your chickens have all come home to roost and you can't say anything now without having something that you've used before, being used against you.

People are making fun of your native American heritage and you dare not lash out because you know there's a buffalo soldier waiting in the wings to slap you back down onto the reservation because of your nigger remarks. Hah.

You stupid sterile beaten down old man.

 

[Fawkin'Injun]

Thank you for making my point.

 

[Le Jacquelope]

One more drink, AJ and you'll be a happy man!

 

[Fawkin'Injun]

One more drink LT and you'll be a happy boy.

 

[Le Jacquelope]

One more drink LT and you'll be a happy boy.

Lit PENALTY. Unoriginal lame copycat insult.

 

[FawkinInjun]

No, the real unoriginal copycat insult was when I was born. As if my mother wasn't insulted enough by my broken down failure of a father
