http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N15625688.htmWASHINGTON, March 15 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Tuesday brushed aside a new poll showing a lack of enthusiasm for revamping Social Security and said he was just beginning his campaign for private retirement accounts.
"I'm just getting started on this issue," Bush told reporters during an Oval Office meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah.
A Washington Post-ABC News poll showed that after a three-month effort to try to build support for restructuring Social Security, 35 percent of Americans approve of Bush's handling of the issue. That was down from 38 percent in mid-December.
Fifty-six percent disapproved of his approach versus 52 percent in December.
