24%

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Deepening unhappiness with President George W. Bush and the U.S. Congress soured the mood of Americans and sent Bush's approval rating to another record low this month, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

The Reuters/Zogby Index, which measures the mood of the country, also fell from 98.8 to 96 -- the second consecutive month it has dropped. The number of Americans who believe the country is on the wrong track jumped four points to 66 percent.

Bush's job approval rating fell to 24 percent from last month's record low for a Zogby poll of 29 percent. A paltry 11 percent gave Congress a positive grade, tying last month's record low.

the rest...

Shrub, of course, doesn't have to worry about that. Most members of Congress will run unopposed in their primaries or generals so they don't have to worry either. Only when folks in "safe" districts get tossed out will they listen.

I guess even they can reach to point of "far too much"

with about 5% of them the wafflers that the DLC has been pandering to all these years, which is how we lost all 3 branches of government and got into this mess.

The real diehard core is about 20%, and those are people who are so damned dumb and disconnected that they say they approve because recognizing the name gave them a little frisson of feeling competent.

To get to those dummies, he'd have to strap on a bomb and blow up a kindergarten. Even then, if it wasn't in their town, they wouldn't be reached.

It reminds me of the advice on how to make a mule behave. First, get the mule's attention...

one of those idiots was on another message board I'm on, and his determined stupidity was breathtaking. He defended mercs, laughed off Nuremberg, blathered about the "new caliphate" raised by the "Islamofascists"...and yet claimed to be supporting constitutional gov't and rights of the people(as long as terrorists were hunted down good).

He made my brain hurt. "Bringing freedom around the world!"

Where is Darwin when you need him?

and the Surge-is-working stuff--they thought America would suddenly say, "Oh, wait--the Iraq war is going WELL now, after almost 5 years of pointless bloodshed--never mind! Carry on!" Instead, they miscalculated--Americans want this fiasco to END, no matter how many positive headlines are trumpeted by the GOP--there's a frustration that September came and went with no end in sight.

Nobody wants to look at that lying, sneering, snarky face anymore. I just hope that when your time comes, Hell will take you in 'cause you sure ain't going to Heaven.

the one they used .. well... he didn't look pathetic enough!

Why aren't they impeached? Because Americans are now accepting a new low level of incompetence and corruption.

Can't be any other explanation.

Which is one reason why Congress has an even lower approval rating.

Why am I not surprised.

Can anyone here recall a time when they did that?

look at Putin's MSM. It's just the same way over there. Their anchors aren't hotties, though and they still are unsubtle in their lies, not nearly as much as the way our Corporate TV Infoganda slips in in under everyone's radar so it just becomes part of the false gestalt.

It's the same everywhere Bushies rule or have ruled in all their many forms throughout the ages, back from their beginnings in the Middle Ages as Feudal European Aristocrats and Kings.

"The haves and the have mores." HA!

Two more and he ties Truman.

Three more and he sets a new record!

Each time they say its the lowest since the beginning of his presidency, I distinctly remember a LOWER number than the newest LOW.

This is the lowest he's been in this poll. Other polls have him lower or higher depending on their percentages of Reps, Democrats, and Undecided-independents. Gallups tends to poll a greater percentage of Reps, Zogby more Democrats, etc. If you average them out, however, GWB is going down, down, down. Come on, 20%!

that's what he wants :nuke:

he wants to start world war iii! :puke:

You're just playing into al queda's hands. Why do you hate America?

:sarcasm:

And that is significant.
