Bush approval slumps as election looms
US public opinion of President George Bush’s handling of issues such as the economy and the war on terrorism is near the low point of his presidency, but rival John Kerry has been unable to capitalise on Bush’s slide, a poll found.
The AP-Ipsos poll found the race between Bush and Kerry remains close ahead of November elections, with Bush’s support at 46%, Kerry at 43% and independent candidate Ralph Nader at 7%.
