Bush Katrina Ratings Fall After Speech

Rasmussen Reports ^ | September 18, 2005

[CommandoFrank]

This is the first Bush Administration proposal that has attracted more support from black Americans than from white Americans

Gee, I wonder why????

how do we spell the sound that a balloon makes when the air blasts out?

[FReethesheeples]

Oops.

[nj26]

Maybe the falling ratings partly stem from CONSERVATIVE discontent with a plan to spend $200 billion (that's approximately $200,000 for every resident of metropolitan New Orleans) on "reconstruction" efforts which will be directed by the same corrupt Louisiana politicians that have run the state into the ground for the past 30 years.

Heck, if the government wants to write me a check for $200,000, I'll move anywhere in the country and you won't hear a complaint from me.

It is kinda funny that the person who cares the very least about this may just be George W. Bush.

[longfellow]

Why don't they just go back to polling their boy Klinton.

[Echo Talon]

George, quit trying to woo over the democrats it wont work! LOL

[alessandrofiaschi]

And now... Bush will not be re-elected!!! Noooooooooo..

The telephone survey of 1,000 Adults was conducted by Rasmussen Reports September 16-17, 2005. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. 37% of survey respondents were Republican, 37% Democrat, and 26% unaffiliated (see Methodology)

I see leftists are answering the phone and saying they are "republicans" again. I've never understood this, and perhaps someone can explain: How is it that they manage to contact the exact number of dems/Repubs out of 1000 adults? Do they take a sampling of say, 1500 and trim down the 500 that claimed to be Dem non-supportive (duh) or Repub-supportive (duh)?

Gee, I wonder why????

No kidding...it's almost like we're getting punished because we didn't hop on the Blame Bush bandwagon. Hell, those who did are getting handouts left & right.

[JoJo Gunn]

Already been zotted. ;)

No kidding. If anything, GWB should heed this part of the article: The President's reconstruction plan is favored by 66% of liberal voters. Still, only 10% of liberals give the President a good or an excellent rating...

[DoughtyOne]

Blah blah blah blah blah, still more blah blah blah blah...

Bush is doing just fine and people know it.

[Reagan Man]

That's why its important to use the original title. Helps with the search engine.

[fizziwig]

"Bush is doing just fine and people know it."

Bingo. And it drives the Moonbats crazy.

No one has driven the Moonbats as crazy as Bush 43...not Reagan, not Nixon. They hate him so much they are beside themselves.....It is soooo fun to watch!!!!

[Reagan Man]

I thought Bush would have bounced back after his well crafted speech. Apparently not. Maybe it'll take a few more days.

[Echo Talon]

Howdy Prime! :D Yep! Quit tryin' to please them and 41 needs to stay away from bj boy. Check out Drudge's main headline about Clinton bashing 43. 41 needs to take the hint and quit hanging out with this loser.

[concerned about politics]

I'm getting pretty tired of hearing about all this Katrina stuff. The nation has been more than charitable, and yet they keep demanding more. The nation is being used as a slave force.
Are the displaced people seeking employment? How many have freely volunteered to go back to help with the mud clean up in NO? Did they use their $2,000 wisely, like use it to find a room, or a bus ticket to an area where they could find work? What are the refugees doing to help themselves and others? Is anyone doing anything, or are the charities and government workers stuck doing it all while the NO people just sit back , get waited on like royalty, and watch?
I think the American people have been very kind, but there's got to be a limit on how much everyone else has to be responsible for. In Florida, Florida does the work. After 9/11, NY did the work. Why then, in Louisiana, can't the state handle this now, so the country can get back to other issues?

[Reagan Man]

>>>>After 9/11, NY did the work. Why then, in Louisiana, can't the state handle this now, so the country can get back to other issues?

A big part of the reason is incompetence.

What I'd like to know is, what were all those cars and pickups doing on the streets of NO? I thought nobody had vehicles to leave.
