John McCain's economic plan basically amounts to a Bush Third Term. He wants to extend Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy and add more tax cuts for corporations (and maybe join the Georgia Gov and pray for a trickle). Well this is what Americans are thinking about Bush's economic policies:
Seven in 10 Americans now give negative ratings to the president's stewardship of the sinking U.S. economy. Only 28 percent approve of his performance in this area, a double-digit decline from a year ago, and even core Republicans have begun to abandon the president on the issue.
Among Republicans, 59 percent approve of the way he is handling the economy, down from 70 percent at the beginning of February and well off his career average of about 80 percent from his party's base. Only a quarter of independents and 6 percent of Democrats approve of Bush's performance on the economy.
