| Commentary |
| Facts and Inferences: (39%) of voters in the State of Washington are “very supportive” or “supportive” of the “continuation of the War in Iraq.” (31%) or respondents indicate their support for President George W. Bush AND “other elected Republican officials” is “very high” or “high”, while (47%) indicate their support is “low” or “very low”. |
| 43%) of respondents are of the opinion that U.S. progress in Iraq has improved over the past six months, while (27%) say that it has worsened. (38%) of respondents believe that President Bush is doing an “excellent” or “good” job as President while (44%) are of the opinion that the President’s job performance is “poor” or “very poor”. |
| A stunning (52%) of respondents in this poll are of the strong opinion that former U.S. Presidential candidate Al Gore has the “solution” to global warming. |
| Commentary- Out of the polling ‘gate’ questions one and two are not very positive for the Bush administration insofar as respondents in the State of Washington are concerned. This assertion is underscored by the majority of respondents supporting Al Gore’s position on global warming over U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and President George W. Bush’s respective positions on the environment as characterized in the polling questions. |
| Question #4 seems to put a little more gusto in the Bush administrations position as the death of terrorist and insurgent leader al-Zarqawi and a new political agreement in Iraq against persistent bombing attacks, provide a more positive perspective on the war effort and for support for President Bush’s job performance specifically. |
