President Bush Response to Hurricane Katrina

Excellent 17% Good 18% Fair 23% Poor 41%

September 18, 2005--Thirty-five percent (35%) of Americans now say that President Bush has done a good or excellent job responding to Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. That's down from 39% before his speech from New Orleans.

The latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows that 41% give the President poor marks for handling the crisis, that's up 37% before the speech....

Following the speech, the President's rating for handling the Katrina crisis fell eight points among Republicans (from 71% good or excellent to 63%). The President also draws good or excellent marks from 11% of Democrats and 31% of those not affiliated with either major political party.

Fifty-seven percent (57%) of black voters support the federal reconstruction spending while just 17% are opposed. Among white voters, 49% favor the spending and 29% are opposed. This is the first Bush Administration proposal hat has attracted more support from black Americans than from white Americans.

The pundits on Fox News declared it was the greatest speech ever given. But, apparently not. Bush is an unpopular President, and primetime speeches do not help unpopular Presidents.

I wish all pollsters would print their reports on two-ply so at least they'd be useful.

Who cares? Its just another poll.

[The Phantom FReeper]

You wish. :-)

[NeoCaveman]

Your analysis, if I were to call it that, is too simple.

This drop can only be attributed to Bush going liberal, to the tune of 200 billion, and his base deserting him.

Maybe it has something to do with the hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending. Nah, couldn't be.

[COEXERJ145]

Go back to DU, LP, or whatever sewer you spawned from.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

ZOT!

Bush is an unpopular President

Rasmussen is a less popular polster.

[DaBroasta]

Bush is an unpopular President, and primetime speeches do not help unpopular Presidents.

He's only unpopular among yellowdog rat b@st@rds. But since it's your first day here I wouldn't expect you to know that.

Wow, my first IBTZ. How cool is that?

Rasmussen does a constant partisan mix measurement. It is not perpetually accurate to within 4%. And most important, this president does what he thinks is right and probably cares very little about the polls.

In fact, he is probably delighted to have all the blame on him that might otherwise fall on the GOP candidates in 2006. As of right now, there appears to be zero chance of the Dems winning either house of Congress in 2006.

[Dolphy]

The Fox News pundits said no such thing, but kim_9899, you are an unpopular poster and prime-time posts do not help unpopular posters.
