Thursday October 14, 2004 — Fifty-three percent (53%) of American voters say they approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. Forty-six percent (46%) disapprove.
The President’s Job Approval has not dipped below 51% since the Republican National Convention. Since Labor Day, it has moved in a narrower range from 51% to 54%.
During all of 2004, it has ranged from a high of 57% in early January to a low of 48% on May 17.
Today’s job approval rating is higher than yesterday’s, owing to a positive response to the President’s debate performance.
