1. I'm sure Utah and Idaho have great natural beauty, but, oy, the people!

Or at least 55% of them! :puke:

[Kelly Rupert]

31. You can keep it.

...ehh.

[Nite Owl]

3. you had me going there for a moment

but thanks for the information!

[Clark2008]

4. Note to DU: Neither of these states are in the South.

Please stop the South-bashing.

:hi:

[Alamom]

16. Thank you .

24. They are South of Canada.

[Mr_Spock]

30. Not one person mentioned the South before you

Since you mentioned it though, the South does give Bush an aggregate approval of about 42% which is ~6% higher than his average, though clearly the land above & to the west really seems to like the evil one :puke:

5. Yeah, its those dumb southerners at it again

:eyes:

6. Don't Those 3 States Have Only About 100 People?

Kidding, but i find it interesting that the highest percentage of "good news" for Silverspoon comes from such sparsely populated land areas. So, he's near or above 50% only where hardly anyone lives.

He must be so proud.

32. The three most populous counties in my state

Cuyahoga, Franklin and Hamilton, Ohio, have more population than those two STATES combined.

Hell, Cook County, Illinois, has two million more inhabitants than Utah and Idaho all by itself.

But they do have some glorious scenery there. Parts of Idaho that I have been to are other-worldly.

7. You scared me there for a sec

I was worried that the country was already blaming Democrats before they even assumed control of congress.

[yellowcanine]

8. I am ashamed of Maryland. One of the higher blue states at 33%. Sorry Oregon - 38%

And Rhodies - you are slipping! 4th place!

[bullimiami]

9. the 3 states where he has a net positive approval have less than

1.5% of the total population of the US.

[Fovea]

10. I think a new catagory needs to be coined

Worse than a lame duck, he is an amputee ostrich.

[Squatch]

11. Dammit. Idaho is my favorite state in the country.

If you've ever been up around the Selway River/Bitterroot Mts, you'll know what I'm talking about.

25. Weiser Idaho has a great Old Time Fiddle Contest.

12. "Lamest Duck since Nixon" How Long Did Nixon Last?

How long will George last?

[nancyr]

17. Let's be blunt

It's the Mormon factor in Utah and Idaho that is the reason for these results. Mormons believe what they're told to believe by their leaders. Theirs is not to question why.

13. Don't do that....... I nearly had a full blown anxiety attack.

:* Titles can be scary these days.

[pacalo]

14. Thanks for that headline -- I'm fully awake now.

[Arkana]

15. oh, thanks a lot

You almost gave me a heart attack. Jerk. ;)

[madokie]

18. qwack, qwack

[indepat]

19. Isn't Idaho a hotbed for RW extremists, survivalists, et al?

:7

[Fire Walk With Me]

26. I've heard tell that retired racist cops go there.

Like Mark Furman.

20. His Fraudulency's approval rating is 14% in the SF Bay Area.

Gotta LOVE the Bay Area ... tolerant enough to even have 14% total fucking imbeciles around. :evilgrin:

[hughee99]

21. Too bad he has no reason to care about his approval numbers, anymore.

Not that he really cared how low they were before.

[Perky]

22. Lamest Duck since Truman

Nixon was gone before voted got the six year itch.

Truman endured two years with a Republican congress, Korea and McCarthyism

[raccoon]

23. My first thought was, No effing way! Some MSM source is lying

through the teeth.

[mb7588a]

27. Texas at 41% approval. Wow. nt.

[Initech]

28. Remember what the election map looked like in 1980 (after Reagan's election)?

It was all red except for Minnesota. Now I have a feeling it's going to be reversed in '08 - all blue except for Utah and Idaho.

[liberalEd]

29. also -- 50% approval among residents of the White House

I don't think the dog really likes him. :)
