[My2Cents]

Well, looks like we have to concede that the Bush Presidency is over. /sarc

[RockinRight]

Uh oh...Bush might lose re-election...

[JerseyHighlander]

Really bad news in all the 2000 and 2004 battleground states except W. Virginia.

The gang of 14's states are controlling the national agenda, as it were, going into 2006, if this poll is to be taken seriously.

[EagleUSA]

I continue to be surprised by poll numbers from liberal states that show they don't approve of GWBs performance. His performance could not be too much more LIBERAL...with the exception of a token tax cut....

[basil]

I find it hilarious that Kerry gets so much approval. Don't these folks know that he was never president? Or --are these fools saying they would vote for him in '08 if he runs again? Either way, they're obviously Anti-American idiots!

[loreldan]

Notice La. and Ms. are some of the better ones for Bush. With everything we've seen (as the MSM reports it) those states should be the worst. Maybe 20% approve/ 80% disapprove?

[Alter Kaker]

Given that I can't see Republicans winning an election with just Alaska, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming, it might make sense for Bush to withdraw his support for Miers and return the Republican base to the fold.

[balch3]

Don't believe the lying MSM polls.

[Alter Kaker]

I find it hilarious that Kerry gets so much approval

Respondents weren't, to my knowledge, asked about Kerry. Only Bush. The Kerry/Bush column just shows if the state's red or blue, for reference purposes.

[Digger]

GW has no one else to blame but himself. RINO-ism can be costly.

[aShepard]

Ummmm!

I didn't know that we had co-Presidents as of 10-8-05.

Seems like Co-President Kerry has some strong ratings!

[Eagles Talon IV]

Another lib favoring weekend poll that did not even ask registered voters much less likely voters.

[Alter Kaker]

See #10 -- that column just indicates who that state went for in 2004, for reference purposes.

[Eagles Talon IV]

He has about 8 months to something dramatically "conservative" and bring the base back

[Digger]

I continue to be surprised by poll numbers from liberal states that show they don't approve of GWBs performance. His performance could not be too much more LIBERAL...with the exception of a token tax cut....

How do we know what % of these ratings come from libs or conservatives? I would say that we might be surprised how many conservatives have had it with him.

[Eagles Talon IV]

If you go here you will see that virtually ALL the Staes below 40% went to Kerry in '04. I believe 2 went to Bush.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"Do you approve of President Bush stupid policies?"

Answer "Yes" or "No."

[Michael.SF.]

Really bad news

Why?

I don't give a rat's ass how popular Bush is, as long as he is right (and I believe he is).

What does matter, is that the validity of his position is deomonstrated before 2008, as a minimum, or before 2006 (preferably)
