Bush approval rating down to 45 percent

UPI | March 25 2005

WASHINGTON, March 25 (UPI) -- President Bush's approval rating has dropped to 45 percent, the lowest mark of his presidency, a USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll released Friday showed.

The rating is a dip of 7 percentage points for Bush's approval rating in a week. One political analyst told USA Today the change could be related to the president -- and Republicans in Congress -- trying to intervene in the Terry Schiavo case.

Republican National Committee spokesman Tracery Schmitt told the newspaper Bush has been facing "tough issues" such as Social Security reform, "prompting the spread of democracy" and energy reform.

Schmitt's counterpart with the Democratic National Committee, Josh Earnest, said the approval-rating drop was because of Bush's Social Security plans, including the introduction of personal accounts, which Democrats claim would increase the national debt by $4.3 trillion.

The poll was conducted Monday-Wednesday with telephone calls to 1,001 adults in the United States. The data have a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
