Iraq drags down Bush in Missouri (under 40% approval)
When President George W. Bush returns to Missouri on Wednesday, he'll find himself in politically unfriendly territory, a new poll indicates.
That's an unusual predicament for a Republican who easily carried the state in 2004.
According to the poll, conducted by Research 2000 for the Post-Dispatch and KMOV-TV (Channel 4), a majority of likely voters in Missouri now view the president unfavorably. That's a significant change from the last poll, in January, which showed Missouri's electorate to be split.
Of the 800 likely voters polled last week, less than 40 percent rated Bush's performance in office as "excellent" or "good." And if they had a chance to revisit the 2004 election, the poll participants gave an 8 percentage-point edge to the Democratic loser, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.
