LAT/Bloomberg Poll: Bush Approval Drops as Strength on Terrorism Fades

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

And it's a sweep tonight for bad poll numbers, boys and girls....


March 2 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush's public support continues to fall as his signature political strength, fighting terrorism, is undercut by overwhelming opposition to plans to let a Dubai company operate U.S. port facilities.

Bush's job approval rating fell to 38 percent in the latest Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times poll, a five-point drop from a month ago, fueled by declines in his handling of terrorism and the Iraq war.

The poll taken from Feb. 25 to March 1 found for the first time that a majority, 54 percent, disapproves of Bush's performance on terrorism. It also found that almost two-thirds of Americans disapprove of Bush's handling of Iraq, amid a surge in sectarian violence there. Sixty-four percent say the U.S. is on the wrong track, while 30 percent say it's going in the right direction.

In the poll, 58 percent say they oppose allowing DP World, Dubai's state-owned port operator, to acquire facilities at six U.S. ports. Most of those opposed say they are ``strongly'' against the idea; just 17 percent support it.
