President Bush Job Approval 49%
Sunday January 29, 2006--Forty-nine percent (49%) of American adults approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.
The President earns approval from 81% of Republicans, 23% of Democrats, and 40% of those not affiliated with either major political party.

Looks pretty good to me!
Yes, agree as to all you write!
However, in agreement, this brings to mind here the impact of the 'anti war'/"peace" movement people like Sheehan and such who are, in fact, eager for a non-military capabiity of and by the U.S. and how many liberal types fall victim to being influenced by that as if it was a rosey, rainbow solution to the world's woes (and our own).
Point being that the terrorist attacks of 09/11 shocked many Americans into recognizing that although we/they may not relish a degree of military capability by the U.S., that there are many others in our world today who are ruthless and insane, even, and seek our destruction. Many Americans during Clinton's terms were lulled into some stupified sense of prosperity that they lost sight of the rest of the world's aggression and what threat it poses to us and to others.
Thus, also lulled into thinking that the money necessary to maintain a capable military was superfluous.
I also believe that's what enables people like Sheehan and the rest...they claim some higher purpose of "peace" and yet congratulate and encourage those who wish us harm for wishing us harm. Thus, the propoganda method of the "peace" movement...to effect a weak and doubtful America, to encourage our enemies to increase their aggression upon us and allies.
The film, "Munich," comes to mind here.
Or a 90-10 split would be more accurate! Add 10-15% to those numbers to find the actuals. Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
The only polls I worry about open in 9 months. Who gives a damn what the President's day-to-day rating is almost a year before the election? It's not like he is up for re-election tomorrow (or at all).
At the end of the day, people gotta go into a booth and flip a lever for the (D) or the (R). The Donks have proven themselves to be completely non-serious, which is a fatal flaw in such serious times.
It is one thing to gripe about the President. It is an altogether different thing to elect some Democrat moron.
read my tagline please
They live in the economy the MSM tells them they live in.
Here is a question in the current Zogby poll:
Which event has had a more significant impact on the U.S.? The 9/11 terror attacks or Hurricane Katrina?
9/11-type attack
Hurricane Katrina
Neither
Not sure
| Why do you believe the 9/11 terror attacks were more important in their repercussions for the U.S.? |
|
| Highlighted threat from terror groups | |
| Highlighted weaknesses in domestic intelligence capabilities | |
| Highlighted weaknesses in defense capabilities | |
| Led to more muscular foreign policy | |
| Resulted in Iraq war | |
| Expanded government powers | |
| Eroded civil liberties | |
| Revealed that U.S. has new, dangerous enemies abroad | |
| Other | |
| Not sure | |
|
and this:
|
|
| Which event do you believe will be considered more important 30 years from now? The 9/11 terror attacks or Hurricane Katrina? |
|
| 9/11terror attacks | |
| Hurricane Katrina | |
| Neither | |
| Not sure | |
And somehow that's different from a CBS/New York Times poll??
On Fox News this morning a guest was saying the GOP pollsters have the President in a range between 42% and 52%. I guess a lot of where he falls in a poll depends on who is polled. I doubt that a sampling that is heavy on voters who did not vote for Bush would drive up his numbers. The MSM would have us believe their polls are accurate when they are not. Any more I laugh at any of the polls and the interpretations of them.
Doesn't the press remember that for bj, they had to run two polls, one for job approval, one for bj approval? His real numbers were so bad that this was the only technique they could use to show him in a reasonably good light. They never used this double poll technique before or since the stain on the blue dress finally stole his last piece of Whitehouse silverware.
His poll numbers will skyrocket after the SOTU speech. You traitors can take it to the bank.
Blame the lackluster, indifferent, uninspiring sham campaign GH Bush ran at the behest of the NWO. Perot was a NWO puppet as well.
The fix was in --Bubba was the real NWO selection...
The tax issue sounds good, but not serious enough for Bush to have lost. He ran a sham campaign by ANYONE who's ever seen a real campaign. The reticent and kid-glove Dole was another sham candidate and NWO puppet who didn't have a prayer -- DESPITE Bubba's many issues he could have easily hammered him on.
A less resolved America, more liberal America, weaker defense, a "balanced" SC, and moral relativism mean a weakened American sovereignty -- a prerequisite for a a stronger NWO.
