Poll: More Americans Now Want Bush Out of Office

HeadlineAug 25, 2003

For the first time since he took office, opinion polls now show more Americans want President Bush to be out of office rather than be re-elected.

A new Newsweek poll found 49 percent of Americans are opposed to his re-election. Only 44 percent backed Bush’s run in 2004.

In addition, some 69 percent of those polled expressed concern the U.S. would be bogged down in Iraq.

Overall Bush’s approval rating has plummeted from 71 percent in April to 53 percent today.
