Bush Approval Over 50%?
A ray of hope for Republicans?
White House strategists are feeling a new rush of optimism about President Bush’s remaining 10 months in office. ... [A] new internal Republican poll, obtained by U.S. News, which indicates that ... some of his major policies have become quite popular. If Bush and his surrogates can make the policies better known, GOP strategists believe that will lift not only Bush’s approval ratings but the overall standing of his party. ...
GOP pollster Ed Goeas of the Tarrance Group [writes] ... “Fully 56 percent of likely voters approve of the president personally, driven by voter sentiments that he is a person of strong moral character and integrity,"…
About 64 percent of likely voters approve of Bush’s economic stimulus package passed earlier this year; 67 percent back his initiatives to help struggling homeowners survive the current mortgage crisis; 70 percent endorse his plan to allow monitoring of foreign communications of suspected terrorists; and 72 percent back his visit to the Mideast to promote peace. In addition, 52 percent approve of his surge of U.S. troops into Iraq.
If Democrats plan on campaigning against Bush and Iraq they might have a few surprises in store for them.
