Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
NEW YORK, June 8 (UPI) -- The capture of Osama bin Laden likely would do little to help President Bush's approval ratings, a new poll indicates.
Same goes for the death Wednesday of Iraqi al-Qaida leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, insofar as a Bush boost in popularity, pollster John Zogby says. Zarqawi was killed in a U.S. airstrike Wednesday.
Of the 1,538 respondents to the Zogby interactive survey, most said it was important to catch bin Laden but felt it would not help the president's overall sagging job status of 42 percent.
Some 52 percent would give Bush no credit with 28 percent giving him all the credit.
"The problem for the President is that the country is badly split over the war, and those who oppose it are unlikely to change their minds because of a single development," Zogby said.
