Katrina Responders Rated as of 9/8/05: 56% of Americans today say FEMA Director Michael Brown should be replaced, up from 53% yesterday, according to a SurveyUSA nationwide tracking poll of 1,200 adults conducted 9/7/05. Asked to rate each of 7 key Katrina newsmakers on a 1-to-10 scale, Americans give highest marks to U.S. Army General Russell Honore, who gets a 6.8 score (unchanged from yesterday), and give lowest marks to FEMA's Brown, who gets a 4.1 score today, down from 4.3 yesterday. Americans today give President Bush a 4.7 score, unchanged from yesterday.
|
Context: Through news events are unfolding rapidly, there is remarkable stability day-to-day in how Americans grade the central figures in the Hurricane story. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin's rating did not budge overnight; he's at 5.7. Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco's numbers dropped 1 tenth of a point from 5.2 yesterday to 5.1 today. Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour's numbers dropped 1 tenth of a point, from 6.4 yesterday to 6.3 today. Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff dropped 1 tenth of a point, from 4.4 yesterday to 4.3 today. 48% yesterday said Chertoff should be replaced, 49% today. Areas along the Gulf Coast without telephone service are under-represented in this survey.
