Michael Moore's Film Changing Few Minds

Michael Moore's record-breaking documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" may be drawing big crowds and big bucks, but it is unlikely to be changing many minds, according to polling released Tuesday.

Most of those seeing the anti-Bush movie already disapprove of the president's job performance, the University of Pennsylvania's National Annenberg Election Survey found.

  Almost 9 in 10, or 86 percent, of those who've seen the film said they disapprove of the job Bush is doing. Thirteen percent approved.

Only a small group of Republicans had seen the movie among the 5,051 adults polled from July 5 to July 25. The Republican group was too small to measure their attitudes about the movie, which has grossed $109 million in the six weeks since its release.

Almost 1 in 10 of those surveyed, or 8 percent, had seen the movie. The group included many Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents.

About the same number, 7 percent, said they were regular listeners of conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh. About 9 in 10 of the Limbaugh listeners, a largely Republican group, said they approve of Bush's performance.

For results about each group, the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 5 percentage points.
