[lbo-talk] Gallup: Bush's Iraq Speech Caused Dive In His Poll Numbers

[mike larkin]

WILLIAM SCHNEIDER, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL ANALYST
(voice-over): It didn't work. That is the unambiguous
conclusion of a poll taken in the days following
President Bush's speech Sunday night.

Before the speech, the president's job approval rating
was 59 percent in the CNN/"USA Today"/Gallup poll.
After his rating dropped suddenly to 52 percent.
That's his lowest rating since -- note the date --
September 10, 2001.

Why the drop? One word: Iraq.
