Bush's Poll Position Is Worst on Record
Talking Points
Terry M Neal
Washington Post

excerpt:
What difference does it make that Bush poll numbers appear to be weak on all of the major issues that have come up so far in his second term? One of the enduring realities of the American presidency is that second terms are often politically tougher than first terms. What's unusual in Bush's case is that the public's typical second-term disillusionment began so early. In one sense, this matters little because Bush will never run for another election. But it could be an early sign of trouble for his party, especially when you consider that the Republican-run Congress's approval rating has dropped to its lowest point in nearly a decade, with only 40 percent or fewer approving of the job it is doing, according to several recent polls.

Too bad you can't be sure of fair elections...

6. Hear hear
In some ways I'm kinda glad because people are seeing what the republican party really is now days and how the neocons have hijacked them. In some ways I'm glad Kerry isn't president because the republicans would've still had control on the other parts of the government. Who knows what they would've done to him and/or to stop him from doing things. Only thing is I hope in 2006 we can gain a lot more seats in all the parts in the government and then whoever is our president in 2008 whether republican or democratic we can have better checks and balances. I know with the voting machines I'm really hoping for too much but hopefully things will go our way in 2006 and 2008 and then we can get our country back to the one we love.

3. How Can Bu$h Improve His Poll Numbers?
Easy. Just run them through a Diebold voting machine.
