Only 22 percent of Americans polled by The Washington Post and ABC News think President George W. Bush's $1.6 trillion tax cut is a priority.

Meanwhile, 35 percent say the top priority for the current budget surplus should be spending on education and health care. Bush also has a 55 percent approval rate so far, lower than any other President at the beginning of the administration in the past 50 years.

Americans are mostly split on President Clinton's controversial pardons, with 35 percent saying they are important but 50 percent saying no criminal investigation should be launched.
