A growing number of Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction, underscoring dissatisfaction with the leadership of President George W. Bush, according to a poll published on Thursday.

Fifty-eight per cent believe the nation is on the wrong track, up from 55 per cent in March.

The finding confirms a trend in other recent opinion surveys showing an increase in public disapproval of Mr Bush's handling of the Iraq war and the economy. It also reveals an erosion of trust in his leadership that could prove troubling for the 43rd president as he seeks a second term in office in November's elections.

In a one-to-one match with John Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate, Mr Bush lags by seven points. Asked who they would vote for if the election were held today, 51 per cent choose Mr Kerry against 44 per cent for Mr Bush. A similar poll in March showed Mr Kerry ahead by a 49-46 per cent margin.

according to my terralert scorecard system -- looks like a terralert is coming:

mmm....terralert approaching?
5 points -- Bush numbers dropping check
3 points -- scandal dominates news check - ashcroft refuses to release memos on torture
2 points -- unfavorable editorials/reports check - ashcroft refuses to release memos on torture
1 point -- major holiday is approaching
total terralert alert rating = 10 points
score rating:
1- 3 points: low probability of terralert
4-5 points: medium probability of terralert
5-7 points: high probability of terralert
8-10+points: guaranteed slam-dunk of a terralert
