--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 2002

TOPIC: According to USA TODAY/CNN/Gallop Poll, most Americans support President Bush's position for war against Iraq. Of the 1,014 Americans who participated in the telephone survey last week, 57% said Democrats are not tough enough on terrorism, while 64% say Republicans have a stronger stance against terrorism. The poll also shows that most Americans believe the Republicans have a more solid plan for managing the economy and foreign affairs, according to an article by USA TODAY. The findings suggest that public support for Bush's leadership and the perception that the Democrats' lacked an economic plan factored in the election sweep in which the GOP gained control of Congress.
