The Bush Bounce? New Zogby Poll: W.--34%

Released: 8.16.06

Analysis: President Bush’s job approval rating dipped 2 points in the last three weeks, despite the foiling of an airline terror plot and the adoption of a cease–fire deal between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, according to a new Zogby poll. Also, reports Zogby, Democrats hold [a] generic Congressional lead.

The Zogby telephone survey, conducted Aug. 11–15, 2006, included 1,018 respondents, and carries a margin of error of +/– 3.1 percentage points.

Said pollster John Zogby: “President Bush’s numbers mainly reflect the country’s thinking on the war in Iraq, and most people have made up their minds that the war overall has not been worth the loss of American lives. Terrorism is an important issue to Americans, but when it comes to judging Bush’s presidency, their decision is based largely on Iraq.”
