More than half the North Carolina military members surveyed in the
latest Elon University poll don't like the way President Bush is
handling his job and the war in Iraq.
The survey results were released today.
Of the 539 adults surveyed, nearly 53 percent of military
members said they strongly disapproved or disapproved of Bush's
handling of his job. And 56 percent of that same group said they
strongly disapproved or disapproved of his handling of the Iraq war.
Overall, slightly more than 53 percent of those surveyed did
not approve of Bush's job performance, while 57 percent didn't approve
of his handling of the Iraq war.
The telephone poll was conducted between Monday and Thursday
and has a margin of error for the entire sample of plus or minus
four-point-three percentage points.
