Bush Losing Support on Iraq, Poll Says
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush is losing public support for his war and economic policies, according to a new poll which for the first time shows that a majority of Americans disapprove of his handling of Iraq.
A slim majority, 51 percent, disapprove of his Iraq policy, while 47 percent approve, according to the ABC News-Washington Post poll released Sunday.
Most Americans, 54 percent, continue to believe the Iraq war was worth fighting, but that's down from 70 percent in April. A new high - 62 percent - say the level of U.S. casualties is unacceptable.
Fewer than one in 10 Americans say Bush has made the nation more prosperous, while 58 percent - a new high - say the president fails to understand their problems.
