AP Poll: Most Americans Say Bush Is "Not Honest" "Two crucial pillars of President Bush's public support - perceptions of his honesty and faith in his ability to fight terrorism - have slipped to their lowest point in the AP-Ipsos poll." reports Associated Press. "While the CIA leak investigation, the mishandling of Hurricane Katrina and high energy costs have all taken their toll, the polling found the Iraq War at the core of Americans' displeasure with the president.... Almost six in 10 now say Bush is not honest, and a similar number say his administration does not have high ethical standards." Other poll results included the following findings: -- 56 percent disapprove of the way Bush is handling foreign policy and the war on terrorism -- only 37 percent approve of the job Bush is doing as president -- 82 percent of those polled describe Bush as "stubborn," with seven of every 10 Republicans agreeing with that description Reports AP, "The president gets credit from a majority of Americans for being strong and decisive, but he's also seen by an overwhelming number of people as 'stubborn,' a perception reinforced by his refusal to yield on issues like the Iraq War, tax cuts and support for staffers under intense pressure." The President's stubborn insistence on providing additional lavish tax cuts to multi-miliionaires and billionaires, at the expense of school lunches, Medicaid health care for 25% of US children, food stamps for the hungry and similar basics for needy Americans, has caused the failure of Congress to pass a budget for the 2006 federal fiscal year that began on October 1, 2005. My response to these polls results? Of course. No surprises at all. My only thought is great relief that Republicans, too, are finally seeing the truth about the Bush Administration.
