I think of the approval polls as a moron/asshole census.

At this point, the moron/asshole population of the U.S. is around 34%.

It's a rather handy guide.

assholes.

Cause lord knows, there are plenty of moronic assholes out there that may not even approve of shrub boy. :)

It's always hovered at around 35 %..

Think about it. One in every three people is either a moron or an asshole....regardless of what circle you run in.

throughout my life.
About one in ten is such a complete and utter jerk I don't want to have to live in the same community with them. From these numbers come serial killers, rapists, etc., and they should be separated from everyone, even the assholes.

About one in three are moronic assholes. I would not invite them into my house or go out of my way to associate with them--it's just too much trouble for the negligible reward and I don't like having to constantly look over my shoulder, hide all the wimmin folk and teach my dog to walk sideways.

The remaining 60-70 percent range from potential fast friends to barely tolerable acquaintances.
Same old world and, of course, their opinions of me run the gamut, as well.
