Poll Shows Bush's Approval Ratings skyrocket

As NewsMax.com reports today, President Bush's approval ratings have jumped since he won re-election. At the time of the election, his approval rating (according to a Gallup poll) was 48%.

According to a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll president Bush's approval rating is at 57% and appears to still be climbing.

Other polling data indicates that a clear majority of Americans now feel Bush's decision to invade Iraq was correct. According to USA Today, "majorities now say that going to war in Iraq was not a mistake, that things are going well there and that it's likely democracy will be established in Iraq."

Republican legislators in general are doing well too. The same Gallup poll found Republicans with a 56 percent approval rating, compared to just 46 percent for rival Democrats.

And in a blow to Democrats, Howard Dean, the likely new head of the Democratic National Committee, only received a 31 percent approval rating.
