President Bush (news - web sites)'s job approval has slipped to 58 percent in a new CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll, the first time it has fallen below 60 percent in that poll since before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
While still solid overall, his approval was down 5 points from a week ago.
Public support for his handling of national defense, education and foreign policy remain strong, while the public was divided on his handling of the economy, taxes, the federal budget and health care.
Six in 10 said he’s paying enough attention to the war on terrorism and almost that many, 55 percent, said he’s not paying enough attention to the economy.
More than half, 56 percent, said he favors the rich, while about a quarter said he favors the middle class.
When asked which issues would be most important in their vote for president in 2004 would be most important, 52 percent said economic conditions and 32 percent said terrorism. A third said they would definitely vote to re-elect him, a third said they might or might not vote for him and a third said they would not.
