Bush’s Approval Ratings Rise

It’s not a shock, obviously, but the latest New York Times/CBS poll shows President Bush with a 58% approval vs. 33% disapproval rating. This is up from 52% approval just a week before Saddam’s capture. With respect to the President’s handling of foreign policy issues, the responses were 52% to 38%. On the economy, people are apparently starting to read the newspapers, as the President’s approval numbers are now 49% approval vs. 43% disapproval, compared to 44% to 51% just a week ago.
