Bush PR push yields bounce; Hillary still kicking Obama’s ass
NEWS ALERT from The Wall Street Journal
Sept. 12, 2007
Public discontent with the Iraq war has slightly eased, increasing
Bush’s political maneuvering room at a critical point in debates over
war costs and troop levels. According to a new Wall Street Journal/
NBC News poll, the proportion of Americans who say the war remains
winnable edged up to 37% from 32% in July. Mr. Bush’s approval rating
on Iraq is 30%, still paltry but up from 22% in July.
In the fight for the Republican nomination, Giuliani continues to
lead with 32%, but his margin over Thompson narrowed to six
percentage points from 13 points in July. In the more stable
Democratic contest, Clinton retains a robust 44% to 23% advantage
over Obama.
