WASHINGTON (AP) - 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.
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.
All of those concerns are cutting into traditional Bush strengths.

my new tagline
Did Ipsos predict a Kerrey victory?
Hi there DrDeb :-)
Well, duh. Between signing CFR and the Miers nomination, I should think that would be obvious to everyone by now.
This poll, like most others, reflects the intelligence of Americans who depend on the MSM for their news and political "fix". It is sad that the MSM is a cancerous plague upon our nation, but good Lord willing, there are still enough intelligent people in our country who will work fervently to find a cure for the tumor known as MSM.
'nuf said, missy. If you don't think there's a dollar behind the poll, then you must have slipped in the grease.
I love your new tagline!

"There can be only one."
I haven't done the research, but I'd like to venture a guess. It's the fact that a reliable sample of national voting public cannot actually be reached by the pollsters. Because of the No-call laws in the states, and the advent of caller-ID, the polling companies cannot actually reach (for an accurate answer) the people who are casting the ballots at the polls.
Good Night DrDeb, sleep well!
Funny, I haven't heard anyone on FR say that the MSM is dead NOR powerless. "Not trusted", you dang right they aren't trusted, at least by those of us who spend more time gathering information with a fine-toothed comb and who are not dependent on the MSM for our "instructions". The MSM is alive and well, and they DO have the power. Just ask the Liberal Loons and the Dems. They feast at the trough of spin and lies every day and then get their pictures on the BOOB TUBE.
It has a 51% dem and only 40% GOP sampling.
Most people are dishonest.
I don't trust humans in general...and thats my honest opinion...so do you trust me when I tell you I don't trust you?
LOL
Now, I live in a town and county that is 78% registered Republican. Yet I was apparently the only one in the store that has any sense or understanding about such things.
There are many things that President Bush has done or not done that could be honestly criticized or at least debated between reasonable people, but the price of gasoline is not one of them.
I was very depressed over this. I could see it happening in a "blue" area; I could see it happening in San Francisco, Boston, Chicago or even Houston, but not here, not with near unanimity.
The constant anti-Bush harrangue and lies of the media and the democrats is is working; People who might be decent people, and fairly conservative by nature are begining to believe the lies.
Weighted poll.
You're nuts.
LOL, you've noticed that too :-)
I had to listen through eight years of "sure Clinton is a lying adulterer, but he kept the economy humming" as if having a full pocketbook makes that slimey weasel a wonderful role model for our kids. George Bush has navigated us through two major wars, the destruction of a major American landmark by international terrorists, the Anthrax scare, and the deaths of 3000 innocent people whose only crime was going to work in the morning, and the economy is humming along so fast we have to crank up the interest rates to fricking slow it down! Where are all the Libs who didn't care what went on in the White House so long as their 401K's were profitable? Why isn't the press ignoring this President like they turned a blind eye to the last one?
Oh, yeah. The biased, lying, sack of crud Liberal media thing.
