Bush is steering US in the wrong direction, say majority of Americans
Despite the dissatisfaction, the race between Mr Bush and election challenger John Kerry remains a dead heat, the Los Angeles Times Poll found. Mr Kerry, a senator from Massachusetts, is leading Mr Bush by two percentage points - a slight reduction on the LA Times’ last poll and a statistical dead heat between the two men.
Mr Bush appears to have weathered a number of recent storms which could have proved more damaging to his presidency - namely questions about the wisdom of war in Iraq and the intelligence upon which the invasion was based. However, the poll found 54% of the registered voters surveyed said America was moving in the wrong direction.
