WASHINGTON (AFP) - Along with ebbing public support for the Iraq War, US President George W. Bush also faces diminishing backing for his domestic agenda, from tax cuts to homeland security, according to a poll published.

Forty-three percent of those asked by a Harris Interactive survey for The Wall Street Journal supported Bush's proposal to make tax cuts passed during his first mandate permanent, down from 52 percent in August.

Fifty percent disapproved of Bush's position on homeland security, against 43 percent who approved, the poll showed.

Additionally, 53 percent disagreed with his environmental policies with 34 percent backing them, while 53 percent also disapproved of his efforts to provide hurricane relief against 43 percent in favor.
