[louis c]

and his disapproval up to 53%

Also, check out that the Rasmussen Consumer Index is at an 18 month low.

1. My guess is that his approval rating is atleast 10 points lower

Does it matter, at this point?

Can it be predictive of revolt??

[Melynn]

15. I would say it would have be lower than 45%

with the economy going into the tank and high gas prices.

2. How long before the terror warnings start again?

Is that June Iran attack still on schedule?

[Hatalles]

3. Bush shows us the size of his mandate...

[kliljedahl]

5. No that's not it

That's the size of his "weenie."
& he's exaggerating.

9. And Senator Kerry's...

ahem... you know...



I just love that pix.
:evilgrin:

[Straight Shooter]

12. That is an AMAZING pic of President Kerry.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

[JanMichael]

13. That's sad.

Really, really, sad.

Our hopes were pinned on, wait, I'll be labelled a turncoat if I continue...

[leftchick]

33. .....

me too. :(

[mogster]

28. Now, THAT is a President! n/t

[Quixote1818]

4. Rasmussen is a conservative pollster. You could drop him down

three or four points beyond their numbers.

[YusefHawkins]

7. Don't mind if I do (nt)

[Beelzebud]

6. ....

Too bad our fellow idiot countrymen didn't wake up just a few months earlier...

[louis c]

8. That's my point

[lancdem]

10. Pisses me off no end

:mad:

[mistertrickster]

11. GW Limbo--how LOOOW can he GOOOO . . .

Bottom's dropping out.

Adios, chump.

[candy331]

And to think he said the other day he was just starting as far as SS

was concerned so does that mean when he really gets going he will be in the 30's/20's.

[louis c]

20. Keep dropping

[Cleita]

14. Good news for a change.

I hope that the bad news isn't what he'll do to improve it. I don't think another "terrorist" attack will work for him this time though. He's in the nutcracker right now, a good place for nuts anyway you look at it.

[radfringe]

26. a terra-lert won't be enough

the bushies have cried wolf too often

during the 2004 campaign some reporters started making the connection between bush*'s numbers and terra-lerts

a terra-lert may bump his numbers a couple of points, but it would be a short-lived gain

I fear the bushies would allow a terra-ttack to occur -- but it would be risky and the bushies would have to have tight control of the spin

if (when) a terra-ttack occurs the immediate reaction would be to rally around bush* -- however once the "shock" starts to wear off - people will start to question just how safe are we with bush*'s programs? People may be less likely to believe the cookie-cutter spin about "they hates our freedoms". This means the bushies will need very tight control over the media and do whatever it takes to ensure that only their "version" is reported

[0rganism]

16. In other words, still 40% too high for anything to come of it

And it is not only Bush that must be outed in the end, or some other equally evil ratfucker will simply step right in to fill his shoes. The entire corrupt republican congress and their enablers in the Democratic party will need to be held accountable, the entire system will need to be shaken at its roots, the corporate media infrastructure must be shattered and splintered and riven to such a degree that this level of consolidation and conglomeracy can never happen again.

It's a long road between here and there. Some of us will not live to see the day.

17. Watch it fall , fall, fall....

Prepare, for they think the rapture cometh!!!!

[Pushed To The Left]

18. Hopefully Bush's low approval rating

will have a negative effect on the rest of the right wing and Democrats can clean house in 2006 and 2008!

[LaPera]

19. 43% read in the Chronicle-an invasion of Iran will change all that though

That's what Rove & the republicans count on, war and then...misguided patriotism follows...

[Deja Q]

22. But only short term.

And the repercussions from Iran will be devastating. For everyone involved.

[Deja Q]

21. It's going to continue. * has got political capital, don'cha know?

He's going to use it.

And we are stuck for 4 more years, though if they are responding to peak oil by threatening everybody else...

[radfringe]

23. fyi: average approve/disapprove

[MollyStark]

24. I want to see that sucker with a 30 percent approval rating

The day that happens I decorate my car and drive around town with a bullhorn.

[B Calm]

25. How in hell can 45% still approve Bush? These idiots are blind

followers..

[radfringe]

27. not blind -- drugged up on

31. I like it, radfringe nt

[catmandu57]

29. I thought I saw lower numbers last week

I believe it was a gallup poll of all things that had the moran* at something like 43% approve.
We had better keep our eyes open, wide fucking open something is up, they're not going to get bolton and that will fuck with the timetable, but, something is already in the works.

[BlueIris]

30. Yeah, it was at 43% then,

which is why this new, 45% claim had to immediately get hyped. Like I've posted before, the lower it goes, the more frightened I get. If you've got it; blog it. Be prepared. Sure, something could save us--and I still contend that something is a massive, Gray Davis-style plunge to 20% or so in a short period of time, too short for them to feel safe trying to pull off another 9/11 in the interim or after his numbers are down that low. But I'm not optimistic. Bottled water, toiletries, maybe extra ammunition if that's going to be your thing. I'm sure few of you need it, but that's my advice.

[DistressedAmerican]

32. That Means 45% of Us Are STILL Assholes!

[EFerrari]

34. Or, 55 percent of us still credit these polls?

If they're claming 45%, it must be more like 35-40.

Sometimes, I feel like going house to house myself to find the three people who still think DimSon is a popular president.

[spindoctor]

35. Wir haben es nicht gewusst

Is this 5% that changes its mind every Friday?

We could have used an extra 5% 6 months ago. Now I like to say to all the people who voted to keep this club of evil idiots in office...SUFFER FOOLS! Suffer with the rest of us. This is all YOUR fault.

Apparently, you are the percentage that should have known better, 5%.
So why did you do it? Supreme court appointments? Gay marriage? Abortion issues? Or did you think that John K. would make a WORSE president?

You can change your mind now, 5%, but it is too little, too late. You weren't there when we needed you. Then you conspired with them to form a supposed majority. If you were uninformed then, you should have refrained from voting. There are no excuses, 5%. This was you, right from the start. This is all YOUR doing. I understand that your not proud of yourself, but believe me...I have less understanding for you, than I do for your simple-minded cousin 20%. 20% votes Republican because its simple mind thinks thats how its supposed to be. 20% doesn't know any better.
You now show that you DO know better. Do you NOW see what you've done? Repend, repend my friend! Just know that its TOO litlle, TOO late.

5%, you are a disgrace!

[NicRic]

36. 45% approval ,is way to much for this insult to our country ! N/T
