Bush bribe backfires

Poll: Seniors Key to Slip in Bush Rating

By WILL LESTER, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON – The public’s confidence in President Bush’s job performance and the nation’s direction has slipped in the opening weeks of his second term, particularly among people 50 and older, according to an Associated Press poll.

Adults were evenly divided on Bush’s job performance in January, but now 54 percent disapprove and 45 percent approve. The number who think the country is headed down the wrong track increased from 51 percent to 58 percent in the past month. </i>

So, contrary to the faked Gallup poll trumpeted recently, all is not peachy in Dubyaland. Guess his bribe to seniors with the pill plan didn’t buy as much love as he hoped. Boo hoo Bushie.
