Bush's approval ratings have dropped slightly in recent months but are still at 60 percent, according to a new USA Today-CNN-Gallup poll. The survey of 1,000 adults, taken Jan. 23 to 25, also indicates a nation almost evenly divided over Bush's approach to Iraq and his handling of the economy.

The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. Democrats seized on the uncertainty that pervades the nation.

The president will deliver the address to the nation tonight Americans increasingly anxious about whether they will keep their jobs and their health insurance or desperately hoping to return to work will not be the only ones watching the speech.

One in four teenagers now considers vegetarianism "cool," according to Teenage Research Unlimited, a market research group.
