The survey published in USA Today found 42 per cent approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president, five percentage points higher than his record low of 37 per cent in mid-November.
Still, most Americans - 59 per cent to 39 per cent - disapproved of Bush's handling of Iraq, and he remains the country's most unpopular second-term president since World War II except for Richard Nixon, the poll said.
A pollster for Bush's Republican Party, David Winston, told the newspaper he believes the survey reflects a drop in petrol prices and growing optimism about the economy. Democratic pollster Doug Schoen said the 'underlying dynamic' - that Bush had lost Americans' trust - was unchanged.
The survey of 1,003 adults taken last weekend has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
