A University of New Hampshire poll puts President George W. Bush's approval rating at 27 percent among adults.

The WMUR Granite State Poll, sponsored by WMUR-TV and conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, also shows that 70 percent of adults disapprove of Bush's handling of the economy and 61 percent disapprove of his handling of foreign policy.

The poll also concluded that "Only 54% of Republicans now approve of Bush's performance as President while 92% of Democrats and 75% of political Independents disapprove."

UNH polled 550 adults with a margin-of-error of 4.5 percent.
