And for the first time, more voters in this poll's two years of tracking the question said they would definitely vote against Bush than said they would definitely vote for him. Bush's approval rating stood at 47 percent in the AP-Ipsos poll taken in early February, down from 56 percent approval just a month ago. Half, or 50 percent, said they disapproved in the latest poll. The poll findings marked a difficult month for Bush, as public attention focused on the Democratic presidential primary and the Democrats' daily bashing of the incumbent. The survey came at a time when the public is nervous about the economy and the chief adviser to the administration on Iraqi weapons, David Kay, said last month ``we were almost all wrong'' about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Bush's 47 percent approval rating is the same as his father's at this stage in his presidency." Wow! and W isn't half the man his father was.   anon Citizen Username: Anon Post Number: 955 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Saturday, February 7, 2004 - 1:38 pm:        The Polls will go up, the polls will go down. The only one that counts will be the one taken on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. On the other hand last time that poll was taken Gore won.   bobk Supporter Username: Bobk Post Number: 4574 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Saturday, February 7, 2004 - 3:23 pm:        Actually the Fox News poll, the only fair and balanced one, has the President leading Kerry by about six points. The liberal media, yah gotta luv 'em. I don't think Kerry is totally clean in the fund raising area, but is this an area where Bush wants to trade broadsides?
