add.

1. It could still go lower, but the backwash will always be there.

I'm guessing he'll bottom out somewhere between 25-30%. His dead-ender base will never give up on him, no matter what he does. He could go on Live TV and give Britney Spears an abortion and roast the stem cells over burning flags while buggering a Cub Scout, and the base ("al Qaeda" in Arabic) would still love him.

[malaise]

2. LOL

You're 100% correct.

[jazzjunkysue]

36. ...eeeewwwwwwww!

Glad I don't go to communion.

[txindy]

3. When his Yosemite Bolton nomination has time to sink in, it'll go lower.

Then there's the whole issue of domestic spying. When people realize all of that and how he is STILL talking out of both sides of his smirk, his numbers will crater even further.

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. 31%???? Bwahahahahahahaha!

:rofl:

If I were him...I'd just hybernate for 2 years until his worst nightmare is over! 31%!!!! :rofl:

[NOLADEM]

5. This is great

The only people who are left that support him are the assholes of society. The wingnut, no compromise, small minded, take no prisoners, never admit a mistake asswipes who make any situation worse. And now he has alienated even them by attempting to appear human and civil this week.

HA HA...

That's what you get for farming ignorance, intolerance and partisan hatred in your flock, Georgie.

Reap what you sow, bitch.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

6. That's a shitty number

I think only two Presidents have done worse in post-war United States. LBJ during and after the Tet Offensive and Nixon during and after impeachment.

[malaise]

8. Wait until the investigations start

20% will look good as the canibals in the Rethug party turn on him worst than they did during the elections. At the end of the day it will be survival of the fittest and a lame fugg can't outrun greedy young Rethugs.
Adios Bushie.

[senseandsensibility]

7. Good

But it needs to go lowere!

[Uncle Joe]

18. I believe Bush is quite capable in doing just that, keep the faith n/t

[senseandsensibility]

27. Here's to

keeping the faith that all republicans will live up to their true potential for inspiring hatred in the public! I do have faith in them when it comes to that.:toast:

[Uncle Joe]

28. Likewise

:toast:

[gulliver]

9. Bush's GOP supporters share blame for his failure.

Unlike with Poppy, Junior's support was drooling and enthusiastic from many in the GOP. That guilty group will be the last to disapprove of him. They need to find a way to admit they made a mistake or to say Bush misled them.

I wish there was a way to find out who these people are. A lot are innocent. A lot are misinformed. A lot just support whoever is the president. But the guilty ones who still approve of Bush would be a great demographic for marketing. Gullible, mean, easily led, egotistical, stupid, bigoted... a 99% pure precipitate of foolishness. There's gold in them thar hills!

<snip>
President George W. Bush’s response was swift and decisive—if a little late. After voters gave Republicans “a thumpin’” at the polls, handing Democrats control of both houses of Congress, Bush banished his contentious defense secretary; invited the presumptive leaders of the new House and Senate to lunch (would-be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had pasta; the president ate crow, a Bush aide joked); and suffered through two pained photo-ops with Pelosi and Harry Reid, the Nevada Senator expected to become Majority Leader. And what did the president get for listening to the voice of the American people? The worst approval rating of his presidency.

11. Does anyone know the all time low EVER? n/t

Gotta be Nixon, right?
:shrug:

[Wednesdays]

34. Nixon was at about 24% just before he resigned

Also, interestingly, Poppy was at 31% just before he lost the 1992 election.

[cali]

12. Yeah, but the same article

notes that Nancy Pelosi's approval rating is only 3 points higher.

[malaise]

14. Not a fair comparison

because non-Dems are just getting to know her and she hasn't been in a position to influence policy. That was typical MSM.

[Virginia Dare]

32. How does that compare with Hastert?

or any other Speaker for that matter. I don't recall ever seeing an approval poll for Speaker of the House current or presumed.:shrug:

[Marr]

13. I think it's because the Republican propaganda machine is attacking him

now. They're all attacking each other, to be honest. It's just a joy to listen to. I can honestly recommend listening to the Rush Limbaugh show this week.

[Clinton Crusader]

15. Answering my own question..all time lows

Truman, 22%, 14 Feb 1952
Eisenhower, 48%, 1 Apr 1958
Kennedy, 56%, 17 Sep 1963
Johnson, 35%, 12 Aug 1968
Nixon, 23%., 7 Jan 1974
Ford, 37%, 13 Jan 1975 and 31 Mar 1975
Carter, 28%, 2 Jul 1979
Reagan, 35%, 31 Jan 1983
Bush (GHW), 29%, 2 Aug 1992
Clinton, 37%, 6 Jun 1993
Bush (GW), 37, 13 Nov 2005
Bush (GW), 31, 11 Nov 2006

[DemBones DemBones]

16. Truman's 22% -- right after he fired MacArthur would be my guess.

Note that Kennedy's LOW was 56% in Sept. 1963, just two months before Dallas. He was far too popular for some people to tolerate.

[Clinton Crusader]

17. exactly! n/t

[NNN0LHI]

19. Anyone who thinks Bush is not impeachable at this point is drunk n/t

[bridgit]

20. k&r'd, he ought to just step aside, his daddy's aides are running...

the whole dog & pony show anyway, bush is just there for the free pretzels and now everybody knows it :thumbsdown:

[benny05]

21. My take on it

Conyers will go after Cheney, Bush will get censured in the Senate. Bush is small potatoes compared to Grumpy. Then Grumpy will resign due to health reasons.

[Hubert Flottz]

22. Quack Quack Quackmire!

Swamp reclaimation underway!

[malaise]

29. I'm patient

This must drag out right through 2008.I've ordered loads of popcorn. The party has just begun and I'm loving it:toast: :party:

[Sapphire Blue]

23. "...Speaker Nancy Pelosi had pasta; the president ate crow..."

Feeling Blue?
After the Democratic sweep of Congress, President Bush's approval reaches a new low. But voters want Democrats to chart a moderate course.

Nov. 11, 2006 - President George W. Bush’s response was swift and decisive—if a little late. After voters gave Republicans “a thumpin’” at the polls, handing Democrats control of both houses of Congress, Bush banished his contentious defense secretary; invited the presumptive leaders of the new House and Senate to lunch (would-be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had pasta; the president ate crow, a Bush aide joked); and suffered through two pained photo-ops with Pelosi and Harry Reid, the Nevada Senator expected to become Majority Leader. And what did the president get for listening to the voice of the American people? The worst approval rating of his presidency.

[democrank]

24. Far higher than it should be.

Miserable failure.

[Catherine Vincent]

25. I blame the backwash of our country....

:evilgrin:

[earth mom]

26. They transposed the numbers...more like 13% eom

[gristy]

30. By the time Bush resigns, his approval rating will be lower than Nixon's

He will leave office in greater disgrace than any President in our history.

[elehhhhna]

31. That lame duck has birdflu

33. elehhhhna!

Very nice pic of you, your kids and Congressman Lampson!
