Friday October 07, 2005--Forty-seven percent (47%) of American adults now approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. This is the third time in four days, the Approval Rating has been at 47%, a slight improvement over the preceding month.
Fifty-two percent (52%) Disapprove.
The President's performance in office earns Approval from 81% of Republicans, 18% of Democrats, and 41% of those not affiliated with either major political party.
...
During 2004, reports on the President Job Approval were based upon surveys of Likely Voters. Typically, a survey of Likely Voters would report a Job Approval rating 2-3 points higher than a survey of all adults.
On Election Day, the President's Job Approval was at 52%. During all of 2004, the President's Job Approval ranged from a high of 57% in early January to a low of 48% on May 17.
The President's highest rating of 2005 was 54% on February 4

You are kidding, right?
You are kidding, right?
ith the relentless attacks by the likes of our right wing pundits, this poll is rather remarkable.
I'll say.
"Well Murrymomsheehan, there you go again"
Ahh, one problem - If it wasn't FOR GWB the GOP hadn't won anything in the past decade!
The old "incompetent" "dumb" attacks are as useless as the logic behind them -
History is going to be very kind to GWB. He is one of the most effective leaders in modern History. He will be seen as the most effective and deliberate CIC in modern history (concerning the USA).
As for your comments that "everyone is beginning to see it" (that he is incompetent) - YAWN -
GWB was reelected with MORE votes then any President in history! - During one of the highest turnout elections in modern day history!
Silly MSM polls are meaningless (and what angers you...is you know it!).
It sure doesn't help his reelection chances. :)
I wrote the second, not the first paragraph--forgot the italics tag. Your points seem to agree with mine or at least I agree with your points--whatever works.
Amazing it's so high given the MSM concerted efforts for the past 5 years to destroy Bush and the Republicans.
Exactly WHAT does this mean? Define for all of us what "bumbling through all of them" relates to in the course of his business enterprises.
Excuse me if I say you sound like you are regurgitating talking points from the dark side.
We have to keep those little baby Darth Vader eagles healthy, you know.
"Wow...sounds like you've been lurking over at DU waaaay too much. "Daddy got him...", "...idiot...", "...incompetence...", "....realize...to their horror"..., "The emperor has no clothes", pretty much dem talking points that you can find on any Bush hate-fest thread over there and found in many DUmmies FUnnies thread."
What do Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan and GW Bush have in commom? All were referred to by the lefties as dumb, dunce, stupid or whatever the term of the decade was. What else do they have in common? All 4 won 2 presidential elections.
All 4 won 2 presidential elections.
Good point.
Correction--each won 2 elections.
LOL! I can't believe they try to run this stuff. They really do think they still run things.
FOX took a poll earlier this week and GW was at 51% - so I'd believe Rasmussen before I'd ever believe anything CBS says.
And .. that 41% of independents who don't like Bush .. that's waaaaaaay out of proportion.
Acutally when W owned the Rangers, they were relatively successful, unlike the times since he sold his part of the team to become Governor....
but why let facts get in the way of Murrytroll?
How about Clintons incompetence in brining the Khobar Towers bombers to justice?
Oh yeah, Clinton didn't do anything about terrorism except get Lewinksy'd.
Ooops for you.
Having 12 of my friends and coworkers killed and 250 others wounded at Khobar I found it appalling that the MSM spiked reports on this back then and they're trying to protect him now. Back in 1995, at the memorial service for the fallen Nomads (which he and his entourage used as a photo-op and campaign fund-raiser), he proved once again to be a two-faced lying spineless coward when it came to hunting down those responsible.
The raping Rhodes scholar used the quivering lip, pointing finger trick to tell the grieving families he would not rest till those responsible were caught. And just as he lied to America about Lewinsky, he lied to the families of the dead and wounded. He sold them out like he sold out our national security for illicit campaign donations.
Thanks for the extremely pointed statement.
Libs like Murrymom will try to claim that Clinton did what he could.
She will forget, conveniently, that 'those responsible' were offered to Clinton on a silver platter three times.
Thanks for the post and the firsthand point of view.
Bump
