Shrub's ratings with conservatives and repukes have also taken a big hit.

shouldn't it be somewhere in the low 30s?

so take it for what it's worth. it should be lower, but we're getting into difficult territory trying to convert the Pat Robertson freakazoids.

unwavering support of a minority who wouldn't abandon him no matter what. These numbers reflect those morons plus a sizable number of people who don't follow the news but would be inclined to say they support the "President" if asked by a pollster.

Zogby reports 41%...Yes, don't they all poll about 5pts high? So, we are talking about 35% at best.:shrug:

There is stunning data on the racial divide in opinions. Well, stunning but by no means surprising.

Where is Frances "rethug" Rice?

Bush only has support from White Male Republicans... and people who watch CNN hate bush the most

in his overall approval in all regions but the South (44% there).

African Americans - taking them away from the Dems. Not after THIS. That's all over. Bye-bye. And good riddance!! bush has NEVER cared that much for blacks. He's been conditioned since his earliest days (thank you, barbara bush) to regard ANYONE, or ANY GROUP, outside the bushes' own inner circle, as "the help." That's blacks, hispanics, many many whites, and women of every color. For starters.

the higher your income, the more you approve of BushCo's performance.

If this were any other president, Larry King would have shows devoted to a failed presidency.

TIME magazine would have a picture of that president on the cover with bright yellow letters spelling out the line: HOW BAD CAN IT GET!?

from the document:

Bush job as president

-----------------Jan--May--July--Sept
Approve ------50---43---44---40
Disapprove --43---50---48---52

More people disapprove of him now than approved of him in January.

Fewer people approve of him now than disapproved of him in January.

There hasn't been a steady trend, but there's a distinct reversal.

Independents agree that he could have done more by an almost 3:1 margin.

news chanel, CNN has 1.5x as many people watching... Even before Katrina, Fox was still behind CNN.

approval numbers - but after a big disaster like this, approval ratings generally skyrocket - remember the 91% post-9/11?

He got a little blip last week and now his approval is lower than ever.

And as the death count rises ( :cry: ) and the facts keep revealing themselves, the polls will sink even lower.

Approve anyway. Well, polls are like that. There are always some inconsistent results.

I'm starting to get scared here.

Wake the fuck up, America.
What's wrong with you ?

can spin this and hope to maintain a shred of dignity.

The news it full of lies and distortions to make Bush-Co. sound competent. But everyone watching this FUBAR knows they're an unexperienced, screwed up bunch of "politically selected" cronies and mega-buck contributing a**holes.

I wonder how far the USA media is willing to spin and lie to the sheeple before we completely shut down on them?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush's image suffered in public opinion polls taken after Hurricane Katrina hit the U.S. Gulf Coast, with some finding growing doubts about his leadership and the country's direction.

After a week of criticism for a slow response to the devastation caused by Katrina, polls released on Thursday registered drops in Bush's approval ratings and in confidence in his leadership.

A Pew Research Center poll found 67 percent of Americans believed Bush could have done more to speed up relief efforts, and just 28 percent believed he did all he could. His approval rating slipped to 40 percent, down four points since July to the lowest point Pew has recorded.

The Pew poll also found a shift in public priorities after Katrina caused a jump in gasoline prices last week, with a majority saying for the first time since the September 11, 2001, attacks that it was more important for Bush to focus on domestic policy than the war on terrorism.

"Americans are depressed, angry and very worried about the economic consequences of the disaster," said Andrew Kohut, director of the Pew poll.

A WEEK OF CRITICISM (more)

to the bottom of the chart!

:rofl:

Don't we support the Commander in Chief no matter how many Americans he gets killed? Didn't 9/11 change everything?

Saving them money?
Stopping gays from screwing?
Stopping abortions?
Converting the pagans?
Bringing the world freedom? Religion? Democracy?

What do those 40 think he's doing? I'd really like to know.

It must just be the permission he gives them to hate and fear and sin. Nothing else makes any sense at all.

At least Bush the Sociopath is assured of his place in history.



I wonder if he sleeps well with the blood of 25,000-100,000 citizens on his hands in addition to the 100,000 Iraqis he has butchered. I think he does, as he is a sociopath.

Bush should be removed from office by reason of mental disability.

Damn straight. His cronies are rotting America's infrastructure and too many people STILL hype up walmart as being such a great place. (Those people should look outside the box or simply vote for their typical career politician and shut the F up about ANY issue altogether.)

The impoverished do, victimizing themselves. Shrub circuitry works on superficial ambiguity, like these polls.

As he damn well should.

KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!

of shrubs biggest hero's!
