With just one-quarter of U.S. adults saying the country is headed in the right direction, this measure hits an 11-year low
President Bush’s job approval rating continues to decline, reaching its lowest level, 29 percent positive, since he took office in January 2001. This is the first time any poll has shown the president’s approval rating to be under 30 percent. On the flip side, 71 percent of U.S. adults rate his job performance negatively. Amongst a backdrop that includes a White House personnel shake-up, CIA Director resignation, and continued rising gasoline prices, only one-quarter (24%) of U.S. adults say things in the country are going in the right direction, while 69 percent say things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track. The war (28%) continues to be the most important issue for the government to address according to U.S. adults, followed by immigration (16%), rising gas and oil prices (14%), and the economy (13%).
These are some of the results from the latest Harris Poll of 1,003 U.S. adults surveyed by telephone between May 5 and 8, 2006 by Harris Interactive®.
