He could sell a war but not Social Security Privitization

The more Bush talks about his private accounts scheme the less people like it. According to the new Washington Post-ABC News poll support for Bush's plan to "reform" Social Security is at a new low.

But on Social Security, the president's popularity continues to decline. Thirty-five percent of those surveyed said they approved of the way Bush is handling Social Security, down three points since January and the lowest level of support for Bush on this issue ever recorded in Post-ABC polls.

The more they hear about privitization the less they like it.

Nearly six in 10--58 percent--say they are more inclined to oppose administration's reform plans as they learn more about it. Only a third say they are more receptive to Bush's proposals as more details become available.
