Only 39% would definitely vote for Bush

The latest Ipsos-Reid poll gives Bush and Rove more bad news:

If the election were held today, only 39% of registered voters are sure they would vote for the reelection of President George W. Bush, and 34% would definitely vote for someone else, a five-point margin in the President’s favor, in a poll conducted February 18-20 and March 4-6, 2003 among 1,545 registered voters. That is a dramatic decline in Bush’s political standing domestically.
  • A year ago, in the first quarter of 2002, Bush enjoyed a 34-point edge, 54%-20%.

  • In January of this year, Bush enjoyed a 10-point edge, 41%-31%.

  • A month ago, in the January 21-February 6 poll, Bush led by 9 points, 41%-32%.

  • It does not look like this has hit bottom.
Those numbers are amongst all adults. Amongst registered voters, Bush is doing even worse -- 38 percent would definitely vote to re-elect Bush and 37 percent would definitely vote for someone else.
