Abstract: We produce a lower bound for the degree of uniform polynomial approximation to continuous functions on the whole real line using the weight function $\exp ( - |x{|^\alpha }),\alpha \geqq 2$. This lower bound has the same order of magnitude as the upper bound produced previously by Džrbašyan.
