Bush shrugs off polls

By Caren Bohan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Tuesday hailed the Republican Party as the "party of ideals and vision" at a time when he and his allies in Congress have been struggling with weak poll numbers.

Bush's approval ratings are hovering near the lowest levels of his presidency.

A survey by Pew Research taken from May 11 to May 15 put Bush's overall approval rating at 43 percent and that of the Republican leadership in Congress at 35 percent versus an approval rating of 39 percent for congressional Democrats.

But Bush brushed aside such numbers.
