Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Poll: 40% Back Bush Handling Of Iraq

HeadlineApr 06, 2004

A new poll by the Pew Research Center found just 40 percent of Americans now approve of Bush’s handling of the Iraq situation. This marks a rapid fall since January when 60 percent of the nation supported Bush’s handling of Iraq.

On Monday, Bush said plans had not changed to hand over power to the Iraqis on June 30. Despite the emergence of a two-front war in Iraq, the New York Times reports the president did not appear to enter into a crisis mode on Monday. He spent the day campaigning and appeared at a St. Louis Cardinals game where he threw out the first pitch.
