"His approval rating of 50% matches his lowest approval ratings ever, and the largest number ever – 45% - disapprove.

# Less than half now approve of how he is handling the situation in Iraq. 51% say the war was not worth the costs. # Two of the President’s just-launched initiatives have met with negative public assessment. Most Americans oppose temporary work permits for illegal immigrants and don’t think a permanent space station on the moon is worth it. # Just 41% say the President has the same priorities on the issues they do. # Only 30% say he is more interested in protecting the interests of ordinary Americans than in protecting the interests of large corporations. Just 39% -- fewer than before -- have confidence in his ability to make the right economic decisions. # Looking ahead, registered voters are evenly split on whether they would now vote for President Bush or the as-yet-unnamed Democrat in November. But most think the President will win that race."
