Media spins Bush's visit
2004-12-09
Bush visit failed to impress Canadians, poll finds

A nationwide poll shows that U.S. President George Bush didn't gain any popularity points with Canadians after his recent visit.

Here's what the story actually says lower down.

Those most likely to say their opinion of Bush is better after his visit are residents of:

Atlantic Canada (17 per cent)
Saskatchewan/Manitoba (17 per cent)
Alberta (14 per cent)
Ontario (10 per cent)
Quebec (6 per cent)
British Columbia (6 per cent).

Our intrepid reporter says Bush ''didn't gain any popularity points.'' But the table above shows he so did in all ten provinces. And in six out of ten of those provinces, almost one in five people have a better impression of the president.
