51% Say Bush Doing Poor Job on Iraq
November 18, 2005--Fifty-one percent (51%) of Americans say that President Bush is doing a poor job of handling the situation in Iraq. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 33% give the President good or excellent marks on this topic. Fifteen percent (15%) say he is doing a fair job.

Thank you MSM. Not.
This poll is upside down.
But so are the naysayers and the Democrats and the MSM.
Good point. Some 40% of the country simply doesn't like Bush, Democrats mostly. Its easy to pick off another 11 percent from unsatisfied conservatives and "MSM schooled" average joes.
Bush got bogged down with Miers and Fitzgerald and the Democrats went on an all-out assault. What the hell do you expect.
Exactly-nothing to see here, just move along.
51% Say Rasmussen Is Full Of Used Food
The approval ratings are Bush's fault®...he didnt even defend himself until just recently.
All these polls actually measure is how effective the MSM drumbeat of propaganda is with those they poll.
I wonder what percentage of those who disapprove think that Bush is handling the Iraqi insurgency too gently.
I'd like to see the same question asked of people remotely qualified to make the evaluation. Perhaps poll 1,000 West Point graduates versus 1,000 retired State Department officers.
66% said Lincoln was doing a poor job during The Civil War.
Thanks to the stupid MSM and the loony left....
I always wish, when they asked a poll like this, for them to also ask the people to justify their answer. Bet most of them couldn't tell you ANYTHING of substance.
susie
I'll bet it's a pretty high percentage; I know I'm one of those people.
I hate police actions and operations designed to "win hearts and minds". They suck, and are destined to lose in the end.
The next Bush-bashing "poll" of DemocRATS by the MSM will be along in 10 minutes.
That is, I want to know WHAT PERCENTAGE of the fifty-one percent has any idea what is going on in Iraq, has any historical perspective, is only getting what the Dems and the MSM (-- as if they're two different things) keep chanting.... I want a grasp-of-the-fundamental-facts check.
It grows out of this misconception, that opinions are self-validating.
Only 33% of the country was in favor of the Revolutionary War, too.
1/3 hardcore turned out to be enough to send the redcoats packing. Now we must deal with the turncoats.
