1. The "don't knows" are in the single digits!

Hey, that's a milestone, and one that has creeped me out.

How can any person aside from the bush people of Africa NOT have an opinion or have enough info to have an opinion?

Verrrrrrrrryyyy Gooooooodddddd

2. Good point, they should ask

"Have you just heard (or had) enough of George W. Bush and want him to go away?" (Preferably to a Federal Prison for Regular Joes)

3. Or just a simple: fed prison or Gitmo?

oh yah!

5. Since I was a kid I have heard this.

' they are all crooks so who cares." If I hear this it must be a good per cent turning up on some pool.Heck I have usually lived in Hicksville and only a few times in large cities.

4. What about the 1%

who thinks he favors the poor.
Perhaps they are the top 1% income
winners and they think the rest of
us are the "poor" and that they should
get more.

That's hilarious.

6. It still surprises and dismays me that his approval rating is so high,

I mean, he has ruined everything: jobs, environment, civil rights, international relations, the budget... yet, still over half the sheeple approve! Who are these people? Okay, I know religious nuts like him (though I don't get why), rabid pro-life, corporate rich, and tough war mongers... but are they half the population? Yikes... I really don't want to live here anymore.

7. I will never understand....

How he can poll below 50% on almost EVERY individual issue (economy, Iraq, etc.), but still get over 50% overall. I used to think it was the "trust" issue, but he doesn't even get high marks on that anymore.
