Bush Numbers Hit New Low; Dean Tops List of Democratic
Presidential Contenders, New Zogby America Poll Reveals
President George W. BushÂ1s job performance ratings have reached the lowest
point since his pre-Inauguration days,
continuing a steady decline since a post-9/11 peak, according to a new Zogby
America poll of 1,013 likely voters
conducted September 3-5.
Less than half (45%) of the respondents said they rated his job performance
good or excellent, while a majority (54%)
said it was fair or poor. In August Zogby International polling, his rating
was 52% positive, 48% negative.
TodayÂ1s results mark the first time a majority of likely voters have given
the president an unfavorable job
performance rating since he took office.
Bush Job Performance Positive % Negative %
September 2003 45 54
August 2003 54 48
July 2003 53 46
March 2003 54 45
September 2002 64 36
September 2001 82 17
August 2001 50 49
January 2001 42 36
A majority (52%) said itÂ1s time for someone new in the White House, while
just two in five (40%) said the
president deserves to be re-elected. Last month, 45% said re-election was in
order, and 48% said it was time for
someone new.
A like number (52%) said the country is heading in the wrong direction, while
40% said it is the right direction.
Overall opinion of President Bush has also slipped to 54% favorable ? 45%
unfavorable, compared to August polling
which indicated 58% favorable, 40% unfavorable.

today, while 47% said they would elect
a Democratic candidate. In August polling, respondents were split (43% each)
over President Bush or any
Democratic challenger.
In the same poll, likely Democratic primary voters give a plurality of their
support to former Vermont Governor Dr.
Howard Dean (16%), whose campaign has been gathering support in recent
polling. He is followed by
Massachusetts Senator John Kerry (13%), Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman
(12%), and Missouri Congressman
Richard Gephardt (8%). No other candidate polled more than 3%.
Nearly two-thirds (63%) of the likely Democratic primary voters said it is
somewhat or very likely that President
Bush will be re-elected in November 2004, regardless of how they intend to vote.

throughout the 48 contiguous states
using listed residential telephone numbers. Polling was conducted from Zogby
InternationalÂ1s Call Center in Utica,
