Bush drops to 54 percent in first poll done AFTER Uday/Qusay deaths

[diplomats]

Check out the Ipsos-Reid poll. It was done July 22-24 so it includes two days into the Saddam's sons' story. Bush is at 54 percent approval at 44 percent disapproval, down from 60 percent in just two weeks.

1. This is so sick when you think about what is really going on

Here!

I read this one ragwhore on c-span this morning said the bushes were boring ..they went to bed early. Or something to that effect. This wag has a major case of ostrich syndrome.

2. Maybe Killing Saddam's Family and Parading the Corpses Through the Streets

and on TV for everyone and their kids to watch
isn't playing as well in Peoria as Rove thought it would.

5. Bush was already in bed when the SC gave him the presidency

Jim Baker had to WAKE HIM UP! AND HE WAS AN HOUR BEHIND!!!

:bangs head against keyboard:

[DemBones DemBones]

12. Do you think he was really asleep -- or was that spin to make

everyone think he was calm and cool? I can't remember if we knew the decision was coming down that night or not.

[retread]

27. He was in bed, but NOT sleeping. He was probably passed

out and had to be sobered up for a brief appearance!

[LEW]

3. It really shouldn't but it does

still amaze me how low the bushies have sunk, because of their lack of crediability, that they had to show those pictures and even the video today. The pResident is in trouble...........

B-)

[msanger]

4. the disapproval is an all time high

The 44% disapproval looks like the highest its ever been in that poll, at least as far as I can tell.

6. Privatize BUSH!!!!

:toast:

[gristy]

10. Privatize Bush - LOL

Very funny....

:)

14. Naaa... bu$h is already on the public payroll.

Just shift the job to the laundry at Leavenworth Kansas.

[Khephra]

17. Funny! But personally, I'd like to see Bush

Drawing unemployment.

:evilgrin:

[calimary]

21. Nah - he'd look SO handsome in a nice orange jumpsuit.

I'd rather see him in that. Dick, too. Come to think of it, Rummy, Perle and Wolfowitz, too. AND CON-doleeza. The whole lot of them can just go right downstairs on the express elevator, if you get my drift.

[MoonGod]

24. What was that about Dick?

28. Weird! That's exactly how it looks in the dream I keep having

Daydream, that is. 'cept in the daydream, he hasn't dropped so much tallow.

[Gman]

7. The Ipsus-Reed numbers start after 9/11

It's likely he his disapproval could have been as high just prior to 9/11.

[TheDonkey]

8. I'd rather the numbers switched!

But I'll take what I can get.

[thereforeiam]

9. Surprising

54% of Americans don't recognize disgustingly bad taste when they see it.

[never cry wolf]

16. not so surprising

when you consider 31% of the country think sadaam was directly responsible for 9-11 and a similar percentage think we have found WMDs. never underestimate the stupidity of the masses and their ability to be manipulated.

but, i am not THAT cynical. i believe that the tide is turning and if we can get enough pressure for an investigation or two into the intelligence fallacy or the valerie plame outing the big MO will swith in a hurry.

11. I love that everyone uses tpollingreport

I've been using this site for almost a year now. It's nice to see that my, or someone elses, posts quoting this source have spread to a lot of other people.

Power of the internet.

[diplomats]

15. I've been checking out Polling Report

since when Clinton was president. It's the best nonpartisan resource on polls I know.

[osaMABUSh]

13. Awesome numbers - keep the pressure on - expose the liar!

"Re-elect" numbers (last poll in parens):
Definitely Bush 40% (41%)
Consider Someone Else 23% (26%)
Vote for Someone Else 35% (31%)
Not Sure 2% (2%)

58% Vote or consider someone else!

Approve 54% (60%)
Disapprove 44% (38%)
Mixed Feelings 1% (1%)
Not Sure 1% (1%)

"Generally speaking, would you say things in this country are heading in the right direction, or are they off on the wrong track?"

Right Direction 40% (46%)
Wrong Track 54% (48%)
Not Sure 6% (6%)

Wrong track up to 54%!

18. A friend was complaining about all the photos of the dead brothers

She said she can't watch her favorite news shows or go to news websites without the pictures being shown and usually without warning. So I said I was pleased about that, that people will start to link those gruesome images with W himself. I even suggested that maybe some of these news organizations were shoving it down our throats to subvert W's popularity without appearing to do so.
Well I'm not really sure about that, but it looks like it's having an effect.

Yea! :bounce:

[Rhiannon12866]

22. I agree with your friend.

Having seen so many graphic images, lately, I thought I could take it, but these are so very grisly. On most news shows or in newsletters they give warnings, but not with these. I have had graphic images of these two dead men show up on the front pages of newsletters I have received two days in a row, and footage of them even appeared on my local news! The cable news channels are especially bad. Hardball, tonight, showed both old and new footage, Saddam's sons recently killed, dirty and bloody, and then cleaned up and shaved. These last were even worse, if possible. And they had to show them from every angle! I was interested in what Chris Matthews' guests had to say, but just could not look at the screen. He just kept returning to the bodies and seemed to have an unending number of clips!
:puke:

I hope it is as you say. I hope the American public finally turns on Bush* over this. I hate to think we're being subjected to this horrendous barrage for nothing!:grr:
