Georgia still loves Bush

The news is that majorities in five Southern states disapprove of President Bush:

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—A majority of adults in five key Southern states disapproves of President Bush’s job performance and says the war in Iraq was not worth fighting, according to an Elon University poll released Friday.

In the survey, 52 percent of respondents said they disapproved or strongly disapproved of Bush’s job performance, compared to 43 percent who said they approved or strongly approved.

Of the five - Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida - who still loves him the most? Georgia, of course:

In the Elon poll, Georgia residents were the most supportive of Bush, with 48 percent saying they approved or strongly approved of his job performance, while 48 percent disapproved or strongly disapproved. Support for Bush was lowest in Florida, Virginia and North Carolina, at 42 percent.
