According to a telephone survey of 1005 adults conducted July 27 - 30 by The Wall Street Journal just 31% of Americans approved of President George Bush. However, some prominent institutions scored even lower. For example, the nation's religious leaders only got 27% approval; the national news media 18%; Wall Street 16%; large corporations 11% and health insurance companies 10%. The Federal Government, as a whole, garnered only half of Bush's support at 16%. Pollster, Peter Hart, said there was sense that "every single one of these institutions is totally out for their own betterment, versus the public they serve." The two institutions Americans most approved of were the military at 67% and small business at 54%.
