1. That's not approval, that is "trustworthiness"
Congress is at 3%.
Business leaders are at 7%.
Courts are at 29%.
But 97% of people report that they, themselves, are truthworthy.

Makes me wonder about that 3%...

4. So, how can somone approve of him if they do not consider him trustworthy?

His approval rating should be no higher than his "trustworthiness"!

:wtf: :silly:

9. One would think, wouldn't one?
I tend not to approve of people I don't trust. It's kinda what you'd call a dealbreaker for me. :shrug:

11. makes me wonder about the 97%
because you'd expect an untrustworthy person to lie about his trustworthiness. But 3% of untrustworthy people admit it...but can they be trusted? If they can be trusted, then aren't they trustworthy even though they say they are not?

If you think about this too much you may go cross eyed.

2. I understood this to be his handling of Iraq numbers
not general approval rating.

6. Could you update your post?
It's not 24% approval. The post is misleading.

7. Here's the story
http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/view.php?StoryID=20060525-110248-6585r

UTICA, N.Y., May 25 (UPI) -- A Zogby Interactive poll finds that U.S. voters are more distrustful than ever of political and corporate leaders.

Only 3 percent believe Congress is trustworthy; 7 percent think business leaders are; 24 percent say President George W. Bush can be trusted; and 29 percent trust the courts.

The poll was commissioned by Jim Lichtman, an ethics specialist whose latest book is "What Do You Stand For?"

Three out of four respondents said they trust politicians less than they did five years ago.

Seventy-five percent of those polled said their friends, neighbors and co-workers are trustworthy, and an overwhelming majority -- 97 percent -- described themselves as trustworthy.
