Bush War Defense Boosts Approval Rating

President Bush's week-long defense of the war in Iraq apparently has prompted a boost in his approval rating, several national polls show. Rasmussen Reports issued its latest polling data today; it shows the president's approval rating at 44 percent, disapproval at 54 percent. That's an improvement of three percent since the beginning of the week. Fox News reported today its latest poll shows Bush's approval rating has improved by about five percent this week, while disapproval has dropped by that and more. Photo courtesy The White House.
