Poll: Dim View Of Bush, GOP
Bush Disappoints On Key Issues; Democrats In Congress Trump GOP

CBS) President Bush and the Republican Congress show nearly record low ratings while Democrats are viewed much more favorably in their performance on the issues that matter most to Americans, according to the latest CBS News/New York Times poll.

Only 31% of those polled approve of Mr. Bush's job performance and 68% believe the United States is worse off today than it was before Bush became president.

Personal evaluations of Mr. Bush are the lowest they've ever been during his presidency. On the public's confidence in Bush's ability to handle a crisis, 51% had been the previous low in September 2005. That figure is now at 50%. The President's handling of the Hurricane Katrina crisis is tied to that decrease.

There is also concern that Mr. Bush is spending too much time on foreign policy issues: 55% think so. Also, on the issues that are most important to Americans, Iraq and gas prices, Bush's ratings have dropped.

2. Re:

He deserves thirty less points than that, in my opinion.

I've had the displeasure to read some Freep responses to polls such as these (I occasionally go there just to see what the right-wing is clucking about at the time). They have claimed that any poll that doesn't show a high approval rating for President Jackass is "biased" for "Demorats".

I've noticed that FReepers and other right-wingers tend to use denial and rationalization to their advantage when they don't agree with something. "Well, we don't agree. Therefore, this source is biased towards 'Demorats'"

4. 68% believe the United States is worse off today

That tells the whole damn story. Bush is a total and complete failure, and the vast majority of the country knows it now.

He is finished. He can't come back from this.

5. WTF, how could 32% think ANYTHING was better before Bush?

Name one thing...

The economy was better,
Surplus, no huge deficit like now,
New Orleans was a beautiful city,
Terrorists were being watched,
No one trillion dollar war,
Not nearly the amount of corruption,
etc, etc, etc...

I'm sorry, but 32% is too large for my liking.

11. Ya know, a few months ago I was feeling so confused

I couldnt figure how anyone could like or agree with this nightmare in the White House. I wondered how it were possible that so many could fall for the bullshit. Lately my hope has returned. I feel better about the country. Its like they woke up and saw the reality of whats happening. I really do feel more hopeful today.
