WASHINGTON – One of President Bush’s most attractive traits has been his reputation for straight talk, but a new poll yesterday found that fewer than half of Americans think he’s honest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Only 48% of respondents to an AP-Ipsos survey think he’s honest, while 50% do not, the poll indicated. That is a five-point drop from January, when 53% of Americans thought Bush was an honest President.<\/p>\n

Moreover, some 56% of Americans think he’s too cocky<\/strong>, up from the 49% in January who said they view Bush’s confidence as arrogance.<\/p>\n

A solid majority still see Bush as likable and a strong leader, but Bush’s overall job approval was at 42%<\/strong>, with 55% disapproving.<\/p>\n
