Pew Research Poll: Bush Approval Falls To 43%
40% approve of the way Bush is handling Iraq, 53% disapprove.

43% approve of the way the dumb bastard is doing his job, 47% disapproved. Bush's approval rating was 56% in mid-January.

1. I was lurking over near the freepers
And one of them responded to this story by saying, "the AP -- they're about as believable as Richard Clarke."

hahahaha

Yeah, and Abe Lincoln!

3. Slip Sliding Away..........

If Bush thinks the capture of Bin Laden will save his sorry lying butt, he's wrong. It may cause a blip in his approval numbers, but there's just so much other crap to contend with.
The revolution taking place in the Middle East is a veritable Holy War, and at some point the US Military will realize the "hornets nest" they're standing in, ala G Bush, is too chaotic to contain.

I have no idea how he plans to bring peace at this point.
How exactly does the US manage to bring this disaster to a reasonable conclusion?
I watch what is happening daily, and do not know.
Is it simply a chaotic fight for survival of the fittest?

Shock & Awe coming back to haunt Bush.
So much for the cowboy approach to foreign affairs.

Chimpy's re-elect numbers are usually 5-10 points worse than his approval numbers, according to these graphs from http://www.radiofreemonkey.com:8080/charts :

If he's at 43% approval now, then his re-elect number should be around 35% (the pollsters have stopped reporting this number??). Like I said, UH OH!

And Whooo Hoooo!

5. Let's see if the network polls follow suit
... or will they continue to "hold" Bush's numbers at 48%-51%?
