. . . Fifty-five percent of Ohioans approve of Bush's performance as president, according to a poll released yesterday by the University of Cincinnati's Institute for Policy Research. That's down 21 percentage points from his 76 percent approval rating in the university's April poll.
The new poll, which surveyed 809 adults, also found that 53 percent of those surveyed said they now disapprove of Bush's handling of the economy, down 12 percentage points from the April poll. . . .
