Sixty-six percent of Americans approve

Sixty-six percent of Americans approve of President Bush’s work, according to this Washington Post report on the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll. 75 percent of those polled view Bush as “a strong leader.” Although Ruy Teixeira, co-author of The Emerging Democratic Majority, believes that Bush’s high rating for leadership is “narrowly based on Sept. 11 and thus precarious,” the Post finds that “the view of Bush as a powerful leader has clearly extended beyond the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.”
