Bush Popularity Surges In Polls

In a recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup organization poll, Bush's approval rating has surged to 57% from 51% a few weeks ago. Check it out at www.gallup.com.

A new CNN/USA Today/Gallup survey shows that President George W. Bush's approval rating has increased to 57%, up from 51% three weeks ago. The increase appears to be related to the Iraqi elections, which the poll shows went better than most Americans expected. In general, the public is more positive now than it was before the elections about the way Bush has handled the situation in Iraq, as well as how the war is faring for the United States.

Bet you won't see this in the Associated Press any time soon.
