President George W. Bush's job performance rating continues to decline among U.S.
voters, latest Zogby America results reveal.
In the latest Zogby America poll, conducted of 1002 registered voters nationwide
between April 19-22, voters now give Bush a (69% positive, 30% negative), job
performance rating, a new low in job performance since September 11th.
Bush's previous low mark in job performance after Sept. 11th was in March (73%
positive, 25% negative). On September 4th, one week before the terrorist attacks,
Bush's job performance rating was 50% positive, 49% negative.
The latest Zogby America poll has a margin of sampling error of +/- 3.2%.
While views about the President's job performance declines, voters are more
encouraged (63% positive, 35% negative), about the President's handling of the
crisis in the Middle East. Two weeks ago, voters gave Bush a 54% positive, 44%
negative rating, for his handling of the Middle East conflict.

Democrats have assumed a strong lead among voters in the 2002 race for
Congress. Democratic candidates are the choice of 36% of the respondents, with
Republican candidates the choice of 30%. Another 4% choose neither party's
candidate, and 31% are not sure.
In March, the race for Congress was a dead heat , with Democratic candidates the
choice of 33%, and Republicans candidates the choice of 32%. Another 4% said
neither and 32% were not sure.
Middle East Conflict
Results show nearly three-in-five Americans (58%) agree that Israel should end its
current occupation of all Palestinian territories, including much of the West Bank and
Gaza Strip. Another 29% disagree that Israel should end its current occupation, while
14% are not sure.
A majority (53%) agrees that Palestinian Chairman Yasser Arafat has the power to
halt terrorist attacks against Israel, including the suicide bombings. In contrast, a
significant 40% do not believe Arafat has the power to halt terrorist attacks against
Israel.
Also, an overwhelming 83% believe it is likely that the bloody conflict in the Middle
East will spread beyond Israel and Palestine resulting in military actions by other
nations, including the U.S. Only 15% believe such a military expansion of the Middle
East conflict is not likely.
Pollster, John Zogby: "The laws of politics and gravity converge. It is very hard for
any President to sustain stratospheric job approval ratings. On the international side,
where does he go from here with the Middle East and the war? And the economy will
still be a major issue."
