President Bush Receives Bounce in Latest Rasmussen Poll

President Bush’s firm position on Iraq has firmed up his Job Approval numbers. For the third straight day, 39% of Americans say they approve of the way the President his performing his job.

  While 39% is admittedly dismal, it represents a bounce of 6% since June.

Another encouraging sign:

Eighty percent (80%) of Republicans across the nation now give the President their approval. That’s up from a low of 65% during the debate over immigration.

  The amnesty bill definately hurt President Bush’s approval ratings with Republicans. When it looked as though this pathetic bill was going to pass, President Bush’s last remaining supporters began to abandon him. With the bill defeated it seems as though Republicans who see the big picture are returning. Republicans understand the importance of winning the war on terror, and realize that the president is holding firm on this issue even as Republican leaders begin to split with the president as they look for re-election. I believe that many voters, myself included, see the immigration issue as directly related to terrorism and national security and when the president supported a bill that amounted to amnesty they left him. With the bill safely defeated the voters realize that President Bush is the man to lead us through the war, and they are beginning to return.
