Bush’s Approval Rating Drops

President Bush’s job-approval rating has fallen to its lowest mark of his presidency, according to a new Harris Interactive poll. Of 1,003 U.S. adults surveyed in a telephone poll, 29% think Mr. Bush is doing an “excellent or pretty good” job as president, down from 35% in April and significantly lower than 43% in January.

5. Just wait

todays news and whatever is coming tomorrow
is gonna rocket Bush to historic new depths

[marylanddem]

13. I can see Trent Lott as the one who goes to the White House

with the bad news that it's time to leave... He's so grim a character he just has to be the one to stick it to Bush...

[TayTay]

29. Yeah, it should be Trent Lott

"Mr. President, remember when you used that bidness about me being a racist to oust me from the Majority Leaders post in the Senate? Just thought I would return the favor. It's time for you and Cheney the Lord of all Darkness to go."

Personally, I would have chosen Frist to make the house call. He sounds like a funeral director to me anyway. "Mr. President, I'm sorry to have to inform you of this but your Presidency has expired. Yes it did. Last month sir. I have come for the body as we have scheduled a viewing for the Rotunda for next Wednesday. I suggest you make the arrangements and vacate the premises. I have the formaldehyde on 'warm' just for you sir."

[marylanddem]

35. yes, that funeral director quality - which Lott has too - is what

the occasion will call for. Oh happy day, come soon!

[laheina]

60. Exactly!

This poll was taken before the new NSA news. It's just gonna get worse for him. :)

[Roland99]

7. 29% is WAY too high for "an excellent or pretty good" job.

[expatriot]

136. Way too high and way too late... but I'll take it. nt.

8. 29%

9. I found a dead cockroach with a higher approval rating than Bush

It only came in around 31.5% but hell, Bush really sucks

[MUAD_DIB]

25. Cockroach's have great staying power.

That's an old number. Single digits might not be out of the question.

16. Iran is a GO, then

I expect that little wild-eyed fucktard's gonna learn us who's whut. Public opprobrium crushed LBJ. It sent Nixon into an alcohol-hazed funk. But this swaggering shithead seems to soak it up like some kind of radioactive beast. There's some white-knuckle days ahead of us, I expect.

[marylanddem]

26. swaggering shithead. Good description.

41. Hey there, FrenchieCat. Glad to see you. Yep -- Ol' Dubya's

had a pretty rough week -- and it might even get rougher if Fitzgerald's in an indictin' mood tomorrow!

My fingers are crossed for a big finish to a great week for Democrats!

[hyphenate]

83. I really wish less big news

came on Friday. We have to wait until Mondays to see Jon Stewart make big fun with that gleam in his eye!

[saltpoint]

101. That's true. But Rove has caused others so much grief and

embarrassment, it's time he got his comeuppance.

So you're right on the Friday part, and the Stewart part too, but I'm happy that we have a chance to force at least one high-profile bad person out of the Bush administration.

[faithnotgreed]

38. a bit closer to the truth every day

[hopeisaplace]

40. holy moly where's the goalie

:wow:

[Incitatus]

42. Will it get lower than Nixon's worst rating before it's over?

I think it was 25%

Bush definitely deserves to have the lowest rating of any president in history.

[tridim]

46. Without a doubt

Nixon was a saint compared to this fucktard.

[Dinger]

56. How Low Will He Go?

I say he'll bottom out at 18% the week before he resigns, is forced out, whatever it takes.
Should be some time in August. Hey, let's start a pool for when he leaves?!?!

[in_cog_ni_to]

I think THIS is now a VERY dangerous time! 29%??????? Holy CRAP!

They're going to do something to frighten the sheeple....they think they can still bring the numbers up by crying "terror!"

29%???????? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[gordianot]

47. One problem, they will not do the majority of crying.

[marylanddem]

43. you can feel it in the air...like that old hippie song...can't

remember the title... maybe it was called "29 percent and falling"

(but it had the word "revolution" in it...)

[Art_from_Ark]

69. Ah, that old Thunderclap Newman song from Easy Rider

Something in the Air


Call out the instigators
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Lock up the streets and houses
Because there's something in the air
We got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Hand out the arms and ammo
We're going to blast our way through here
We got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

[marylanddem]

70. Thank you - that's it...and it's beautiful.

[Infomaniac]

45. Still, way too high. These folks must have really loved their $300 tax cut

and be so very bad at math and too dumb to realize they're screwed themselves out of thousands of dollars. What's the likely profile of somebody who still approves of this dickwad? I want to know who are these dumb assclowns? What kind of stupid are they?

[Gronk Groks]

124. $300?? CBS analyzed the new tax cut just passed and at my income...

...I'll get about $20. If you make over $1.6 million you get $82,000+!!!!

With that and tens of millions of Americans under NSA surveillance he should drop at least 2 points by next week.

What is the born-again Christian baseline? About 23% if I remember correctly.
He is losing the business Republicans right now.
When he starts losing the Zealots it is all over.

[Infomaniac]

128. No, that $300 check people got in 2001. The last tax cut.

[Gronk Groks]

140. You got $300? You must be making some dough man...

...I got about $230.

Regardless, it can't be the money that keeps them hanging on (except for the top 2% perhaps).
It is the fundy, born again Zealots that he has pandered too that keeps him from imploding.
Massive corruption is the only way that he can lose them...
...but with this crowd that is a distinct possibility!!!!

[Clarkie1]

48. Do you know what the margin of error on this poll is? n/t

At this rate, he'll end up in the negatives before he leaves office.

77. Signing the $70 billion rich man's tax break...

...while we have record deficits and are about to break the $10 trillion ceiling in national debt, while interest rates are rising and the dollar falling, will bludgeon his approval rating down another 5 points in a month.

143. Bear in mind that the media and polling set-up is very different

from what obtained in earlier decades; willing to purvey unfavorable but truthful information concerning this administration, only with the greatest reluctance, and in the most meagre way.

[CoffeeCat]

144. That's good...but not good enough!!`

I won't be satisfied until Junior hits the magic number of 22 percent.

The lowest approval rating for a President, was Truman at 23 percent.

I am sending positive thoughts and prayers out into the universe, and I won't stop
until Junior's polls are at 22 percent.

He must wear the title of "Lowest Polls EVER For a Sitting President."

He MUST; because he is truly the WORST.

It would be a huge story in the media, and maybe--just maybe--that assclown
would finally realize that he is an abysmal failure of Titanic proportions.

It takes a lot to rock a sociopathic narcissist with homicidal tendencies and
psychopathic delusions.

[DFLer4edu]

145. Has any other president ever polled at or below 29%?

[ny_liberal]

146. Nixon's rating was as low as 29%

I think that's the lowest ever

[Ladyhawk]

147. I was polled by gallup yesterday.

I was a little miffed that there were only two choices on most of the questions: "approve" or "disapprove." Maybe my tone of voice betrayed exactly how much I disapproved.

[Ladyhawk]

148. Am I crazy for thinking Colbert may have had a little something to do

with the recent slides? Or are chimpy's scandals simply catching up to him?

[LuckyLib]

150. It can only be 29% if the poll only called Republicans

who do not read, watch television, or listen to radio, and chat about the weather at church and the grocery. No thinking person can think "excellent or pretty good." On second thought, I've edited this to indicate that they probably DO watch television, read the MSM and listen to the radio (RW). Now it all makes sense. ;-)
