The Secret is out: Bush* sucks

Poll Shows Americans Have Doubts About Iraqi War

Majority Disapprove of Bush's Handling of the Economy

According to
Washington Post Seven in 10 Americans would give U.N. weapons inspectors months more to pursue their
arms search in Iraq, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll that found
growing doubts about an attack on Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

In addition to the public's skepticism about military action against Iraq, the poll found
that a majority of Americans disapproved of President Bush's handling of the economy
for the first time in his presidency. The number of Americans who regard the economy
as healthy has not been lower in the past nine years, and majorities raised objections
to the tax-cut plan Bush has proposed as a remedy.


"On the economy, Americans disapproved of the job Bush has done by a margin of
53 percent to 43 percent; that represents a 7-percentage point shift from December."

"By a margin of 7 percentage points, Americans opposed the cornerstone of Bush's
proposal, the elimination of the tax on stock dividends. By more than 2 to 1,
respondents said they would rather have more spending on education, health care and
Social Security than a tax cut, and a sizable majority said they would rather the money
be used to balance the federal budget."
