A latest poll has shown that the Americans are again split on their President George W. Bush who,though, has enjoyed a strong support among the populace since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

If the 2004 presidential election were being held on the daythe poll was conducted, 48 percent of those surveyed said theyvote for Bush, while 47 percent would vote for unnamed Democraticnominee, with 5 percent saying they do not know, according to anew Washington Post-ABC News poll.

The United States is once again a 50-50 nation, shaped bypartisan divisions as deep as ever that stand between PresidentBush and reelection, the Washington Post reported Sunday. Republican supporters for Bush see him as strong and decisive,a man of good character and moral convictions, while Democratsregard him as a man who, at home and abroad, is leading thecountry in the wrong direction, the paper said.

Bush has enjoyed high prestige in the wake of terror attacks ofSept. 11, 2001, but has lost ground since the mid-term electionlast year, as doubts about the US mission in Iraq and continuinganxieties about the job prospects are mounting in the country.
