Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

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.
