President’s Job Ratings Fall to Lowest Point of His Presidency
Social Security seen as the top issue to address by U.S. adults

The last month has not been a good one for President Bush and the Republicans. Most people have opposed the President’s proposals for reforming Social Security and most were unhappy with the positions taken by Republicans in the Terri Schiavo case. The result is that the president’s job ratings have fallen to 44 percent positive, 56 percent negative, the worst numbers of his presidency, and a drop from 48 percent positive, 51 percent negative in February (and 50% positive, 49% negative last November).

This is one of the results of a new Harris Poll of 1,010 U.S. adults surveyed by telephone by Harris Interactive® between April 5 and 10, 2005.

Polling about the President. It gives me an uneasy feeling. Remember the last time his numbers dropped?

What happened?

These people are so far from a "mandate," yet the press continues to characterize him as a "popular wartime president," talk about his "charm offensive" in seducing people, and about his widespread, mainstream appeal.
Is it me, or is this group widely reviled, yet has everyone convinced otherwise?
It's like the "popular" girl in school that everyone hates.

party in charge. They will do whatever they want to do.

policy of the regime in office, are getting the government we have so richly earned, and hence, so richly deserve, with a little lagnaippe for good measure. It's on with, to name just a few, perpetual war against an abstract noun (terra), corporate tax give-aways, further tax cuts almost exclusively benefitting the most affluent, a stealth, but burgeoning, tax (AMT) on the middle-class, burgeoning twin deficits and energy costs, a teetering economy and stock market, great loss in the dollar's purchasing power, and a holy total war against social security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

you have expressed my feelings very well.

Congressional Republicans are more popular than Congressional Democrats--or less unpopular, at least. And that's what we need for '06, not Bush hatred.

because the Democrats refuse to take advantage of it. His ratings could be at 5% and still....
