NBC/WSJ Poll: Chimp approval 38% (-1 point) 57% disapprove 5% unsure |
|
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9981177/38% approval is an ALL-TIME LOW for Chimpy in the NBC/WSJ poll. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW! Poor Monkey! Anyone got a sympathy-banana? (*more poll stats at: http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm) The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, released Wednesday night, finds that all five of Bush’s job approval ratings — on overall job performance, the economy, foreign policy, terrorism and Iraq — are at all-time lows in the survey. In addition, the CIA leak scandal seems to be taking a toll on the administration, with nearly 80 percent believing the indictment of Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff, Lewis “Scooter” Libby, is a serious matter, and with Bush experiencing a 17-point drop since January in those who see him as honest and straightforward.
<snip>
According to the poll, Bush’s approval rating stands at an all-time low of 38 percent, a one-point decline since October; in fact, this is the third consecutive NBC/Journal survey showing Bush at an all-time low on his job approval. And it doesn’t stop there: Approval for his handling of the economy (34 percent), foreign policy (35 percent), terrorism (39 percent), and Iraq (32 percent) have all hit rock bottom
<snip>
Indeed, Iraq — which has emerged as the public’s top priority in the poll — has become a particularly thorny issue for Bush. Fifty-seven percent believe he deliberately misled people to make the case for war, compared with 35 percent who say he gave the most accurate information he had. In addition, 58 percent are less confident the war will come to a successful conclusion, and 57 percent say the United States should reduce the number of U.S. troops there.
<snip>
The CIA leak investigation also seems to be dogging the Bush administration. Seventy-nine percent think that Libby’s indictment is a serious matter. (Libby has since resigned from the administration.) Moreover, only 33 percent give Bush positive ratings for being honest and straightforward — a drop of 17 points since January, when Bush held a 50-to-36 percent score on this question.

1. So.... the line about Dems also "selling the war" |
|
doesn't seem to be working? 57% see Bush's lies for what they are. 35% need to increase their Thorazine.

4. I also heard this morning that ONLY 26% believe US rt. direction! |
|
I was listening to streaming radio "KGO out of Cal." so I don't recall who the host was, but at around 9:30AM or 10:00AM the host was reading some new polling nmbers and said that only 26% of those polled said the US was headed in the right direction!!!!
I was so surprised at that LOW number, I wrote the number down, but I missed who the polster was.
