Forty percent (40%) of American voters say that President Bush is doing a good or an excellent job on taxes. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 39% say the same about his handling of the economy.
At the other end of the spectrum, just 15% say he is doing a good or an excellent job on immigration. Twenty percent (20%) give him positive marks on energy issues, and 25% offer that positive assessment on health care issues.
The survey was conducted on June 13 and 14 as the President was aggressively working to revive the Senate bill on immigration reform. While important to the President, just 20% of American voters want the bill revived.
An earlier survey found that 27% believe he is doing a good or an excellent job handling the situation in Iraq. The President’s Job Approval ratings have been at or near their all-time lows ever since the immigration debate began to dominate the news.
On three issues—Immigration (55%), Energy (53%), and Iraq (52%)—a majority of voters give the President a “poor” rating. Arizona Senator John McCain’s Presidential campaign has stumbled largely because he is so closely aligned with the President on two of these three issues.
On immigration, the President earns good or excellent reviews from 24% of Republicans while 48% in his party say he’s doing a poor job. Among Democrats on that issue, 10% say good or excellent while 60% say poor.
On the economy, there is a much bigger gap. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Republicans give the President good or excellent marks for handling the economy. Only 10% of Democrats agree.
On health care, the President earns good or excellent marks from 44% of Republicans and 9% of Democrats.
On taxes, 74% of Republicans give him positive grades along with 15% of Democrats.
On energy, 41% of Republicans say the President is doing a good or an excellent job. Just 7% of Democrats share that view.
Surprising that he gets such good numbers on amnesty for illegals.
CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! AND KEEP CALLING TILL THE LINES FRY!
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.
Those are illegals that were polled...
“”...just 15% say he is doing a good or an excellent job on immigration.””
And yet he keeps pushing it. If only he fought so hard for some of his cabinet officials and nominees.
This comes as no surprise. A married couple who I am friends with are liberals and they were absolutely unaware that the federal income tax brackets were reduced across the board. I showed them that they are keeping 4% more of their paycheck per year than if we were still under the 2000 federal income tax brackets.
I also had to show them that the child credit is now $1000 per child and they have 3 kids. They are as ignorant as you'd expect from brain dead Bush-haters. They can't even figure out what the government is, or is not, taking from their paychecks.
