This drop in ratings for Bush reflects greatly lowered views of his management, and somewhat lessened views of his compassion. Asked if Bush cares about the needs and problems of people like them, 55 percent of Americans say he does, and 43 percent say he doesn't -- these views have changed a bit from February 2004, when 62 percent said he cared and 38 percent said he did not. And 51 percent today say Bush cares at least somewhat about the needs and problems of blacks, specifically; 46 percent say he doesn't. Two years ago, 59 percent said he cared about blacks and 34 percent said he did not.
