US in two minds over Bush
07/01/2005 - 14:50:12The American public is deeply ambivalent about President George Bush as he begins his second term and his approval rating is lower than any recent two-term presidents, according to a new poll.
Bush’s approval rating is at 49% in the AP poll, with 49% disapproving – as low as any job approval rating for a re-elected president at the start of the second term in more than 50 years.
Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton had job approval ratings near 60% just before their inauguration for a second term.
