More Polling Data
Quinnipiac Univ. 7/21-25. MoE 3.2% (May 25)
Bush approval ratings
Approve 41 (44)
Disapprove 53 (50)
The poll has a lot of great data on attitudes toward abortion. 61-32 say Judge Roberts should answer questions about his views on abortion. 57 percent think it should be legal in all or most cases. 36 want to criminalize it in all or most cases. But when it comes to some restrictions, there is broad support — 70 percent for a 24-hour waiting period, 74 percent support parental notification, and 76 oppose late-term abortions except to save the life of the mother. 42 percent of Republicans agree with Roe v. Wade, as do 79 percent of Democrats and 71 percent of independents.
I was just waiting for his approval to hit 41%! It’s only 7 months into his second term and only what, 9 months since he was re-elected? I’d like to see some historical data compared to other second term president’s approval ratings. It will only be a matter of time until it hits in the 30% levels. And if Bush plans on going to war with Iran as soon as we finish with Iraq then these numbers will surely drop even more.
