A Question of Trust
Here's a result from that recent Time/CNN poll that I never got around to flagging but it's an important one: Bush's status as "a leader you can trust" as opposed to one about whom "you have some doubts and reservations" continues to decline. For the first time, he's under 40 percent on this one, with 39 percent saying he's a leader they can trust, compared to 59 percent who have doubts and reservations (37/61 among independents).
Also dipping below 40 percent for the first time in this poll is the number who say the war against Iraq was "was worth the toll it has taken in American lives and other kinds of costs". That's now down to 37 percent, as against 56 percent who say the war hasn't been worth those costs (35/60 among independents).
