A NATION CHALLENGED; A Snapshot Gives Bush 90% Approval

Published: September 24, 2001

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 — Ninety percent of Americans approve of the way President Bush is handling his job after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, the highest rating for a president ever recorded by the Gallup polling group, USA Today and CNN reported today.

The 90 percent rating, measured in a poll of 1,005 adults on Friday and Saturday, outranks the previous record, a rating of 89 percent garnered by Mr. Bush's father, former President George Bush, at the end of the Persian Gulf War in 1991.

The current poll had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points, so the difference between the two approval ratings is statistically insignificant.
