Economic fears darken U.S. mood: Reuters poll (Bush approval at 23%)

Source: Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Growing anxiety about their economic prospects and deep unhappiness with President George W. Bush and the U.S. Congress plunged Americans into a dark mood this month, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

The Reuters/Zogby Index, which measures the mood of the country, fell dramatically to 87.9, down from 95.5 in April, as nine of the 10 measures of public opinion used in the Index dropped.

Concerns about the direction of the country and personal finances rose sharply, and dissatisfaction with Bush, Congress and the administration's economic and foreign policy all climbed.

Bush's approval rating fell 4 percentage points to 23 percent, a record low for pollster John Zogby, and positive marks for the U.S. Congress fell 5 points to tie an all-time low at 11 percent.

The number of Americans who believe the country is on the right track fell from 23 percent to an abysmal 16 percent, another record for pessimism, as uncertainty about the economy and rising gas prices fueled growing doubts about the future.

77% of the people who knew me thought I sucked, to him, it's of little note, he just doesn't care.

He looks at his bank accounts and believes himself to be a "good person", it is the only justification he uses, he equates wealth w/"goodness.


Edited: had to change the %age #, not enough caffeine running through my system just yet...:blush:

The other 77% (the right-hand 3/4 of the IQ bell curve) DO think he sucks.
