Monday, July 24, 2006 Bush Approval Highest In OKC
Majority of Oklahomans approve of Bush's performance
TULSA, Okla. (AP) A new poll shows a majority of Oklahomans approve of President Bush's job performance, but his approval rating has dropped since January.
Fifty-four percent of one-thousand-60 likely voters surveyed statewide July 8th through the 11th by SoonerPoll-dot-com say they approve of the president's job performance. The telephone survey of 503 Republicans, 503 Democrats and 54 independents was sponsored by the Tulsa World and K-O-T-V, channel 6. The poll's margin of error is plus or minus about three percent.
A similar poll conducted in January showed Bush had a 59 percent approval rating.
Still, Bush's approval rating in Oklahoma is almost 20 points higher than nationally.
Bush is more popular in Oklahoma City, where his approval rating is pushing 61 percent. His approval rating is 53 percent in Tulsa and 51 percent in the rest of the state.
