Bush Approval at 50%, Tied for Lowest of Presidency

the corporate media hasn't stopped talking about the "huge growth" in the third quarter. Not even the Right Wing Propaganda Machine can keep the blindfolds over the people forever. :bounce:

They dont talk about the 7.6% record bankrupcys or the increase of last weeks first time unemployment filings. And the fact that the dow is heading back down.

yup, those numbers sound pretty good to me. Oh, I'm new here. I was referred here by the wonderful, kind people at rightnation who respects young democrats like me...in case you didn't get it, that was saracasm. Anyways, it's good to be on boards with like minded people and I look forward to the spirited discussions I'm sure to have here.

Peace

Welcome to DU!

The debates will be spirited, that's for sure.

:hi:

(would have said Clash but your handle is AMERICAN Punk.

WELCOME from this aging punk.
:hi:

You mean they aren't talking about the turn in the stock market yet?

Time for another tragedy. I'll bet KKKarl Rove and co. already have it in the works.Another thing.....how can ANYONE approve of the idiot in thief personally? I think he's the most arrogant and repulsive human on the planet. :puke:

I am no fan of the Gallup polling company, but if they have him at 50% than you know Bush is in trouble. Gee I remember, I think it was the last Galup poll had him at 56%. All the 24hrs repeated those numbers every hour on the hour. I have not heard one tv news channel repeat these numbers, other than the scroll at the bottom of MSNBC. HMMMMM

Well gee! Just 'cause he's a liar, a cheat, and a thief, who has killed tens of thousands of people and devastated the lives of countless millions, that doesn't mean he's a bad person. :grr:

People approve of him PERSONALLY because he doesn't make them feel inferior.

Chimpy McFlightsuit would have too have a bj in the oval office, and lie about it, doncha know? 'Muricans don't mind the rest. :crazy: Georgie is a saint compared to that evil Klintoon, who gave us eight years of peace and prosperity. Aww who needs that anyway? :eyes:

But wait! That means the moron has the approval of 20% of Americans! How can that many people be soooo stupid?

now if we can get the lines to cross each other
it could make a star at the top . :shrug:

around fifty percent....


3000 civilians have to die!!!!!!!

heart!LOL :evilgrin:

Historically speaking, Bush's approval rating is not bad for this time in a president's first term. It is higher than reagans and higher than Clintons at this point in their first term. WHile this can be seen as a good sign, Nov 11 2004 is a long way away and a lot can happen.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

in his favor. The real questions is: what baseline won't he fall below? What percentage of people make up the hardliners who will support him no matter what? Is there still some squish in the approval that we can suck up? Or is this country just simply divided--50-50--and it's all about turn-out.

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/US/bush_poll_031117.html Some more poll numbers. 57% approval?

Historically speaking, Bush's approval rating is not bad for this time in a president's first term. It is higher than reagans and higher than Clintons at this point in their first term.

Actually, no. Bush's approval rating is slightly lower than Regan's and Clinton's were at this point in their presidencies and more in line with pappa Bush's.

Sorry But that is what went right to my brain when I opened the thread. :bounce:

Now here my question, why do so many like Bush as a person, he seems so arrogant and stuff to me.

He is not even liked by many in his party but when he talks. I know thats a biggie here on DU. He does come across as someone who isnt trying to be political, just doing what he thinks is right. I have heard this from many RWers and it might have some merit. They dont feel like they are being talked to by someone who feels superior. It is like they think he is talking to them as a person, not a voter. I think that that is very effective and he talks like you or I, not like a politician. I think his being unable to make a statement like its a written answer plays well to most americans. They see themselves in those hesitations and thoughts. Just my thoughts from someone who works with RWers daily.

Check out that graph--looks just like a christmas tree. And what a merry christmas it will be next year when Pickles is packing up the vinyl slip covers to take back to the ranch.

When gallup has him at fifty, you can bet he's at 45.

just wishful thinking, i guess. Note.....i am not...repeat NOT suggesting that bush be stabbed by a jagged edged dagger. He could fall on it. and it wouldnt even have to be real sharp. Just kidding.....beating him on election day and sending him back to that staged set-up of a ranch for the rest of his life would be good enough for me.

....

PS: Does that graph look phallic--or am I just horny baby?

- Both Bush I and Bush II have wildly fluctuating approval ratings ( associated with wars, terrorist attacks).

- Reagan's and Clinton's curves look very similar

- Carter's ratings were the worst.
