WP-ABC News Poll: 7 Out Of 10 Americans Disapprove Of Handling Of Iraq War

[Mark E. Smith]

Tuesday, December 12, 2006

Negative assessments of the war in Iraq -- the central issue in last month's
midterm election -- continue to hold down President Bush's job approval
ratings and could cast a pall on the final two years of his presidency.

In a new Post-ABC News poll, seven in 10 Americans disapprove of the way
the President is handling the situation in Iraq -- the highest percentage
since the March 2003 invasion. Six in 10 say the war was not worth fighting.

While both gauges on the war have been steadily negative since late 2004,
Bush's approval rating on Iraq has deteriorated further since early October,
likely weakened by recent high-profile criticisms of the administration's
Iraq policy.

In this poll, 36 percent approve of how Bush is handling his job, which is
the second lowest percentage in Post-ABC polls since Bush took office in
2001: 62 percent disapprove.
