Poll: 17% Favor Bush's Ports Deal

Mr. President, read ’em and weep:

Just 17 percent of Americans believe Dubai Ports World should be allowed to purchase operating rights to several U.S. ports. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that 64 percent disagree and believe the sale should not be allowed…

From a political perspective, President Bush’s national security credentials have clearly been tarnished due to the outcry over this issue. For the first time ever, Americans have a slight preference for Democrats in Congress over the President on national security issues. Forty-three percent say they trust the Democrats more on this issue today while 41 percent prefer the President.

It is important to note that the question about trust on national security issues was asked first, before any mention was made of the Dubai Ports issue.

The preference for the opposition party is small, but the fact that Democrats are even competitive on the national security front is startling.

Startling for you maybe but the rest of us have seen through the “Bush makes us safe” charade from the beginning. His response to Katrina exposed his true colors in plain sight.
