Bush's Disapproval Rating Hits 60 Percent, Worst of Any President! (“You coulda had McCain” thread)

4/11/06 | POLLS

[meandog]

President Bush has reached the lowest approval rating of any president as his disapproval rating is averaging almost 60 percent among Americans. Immigration issues, the war in Iraq, rising gasoline prices, a growing dissatisfaction among his base are all said to be factors in the dismal figures.

To look at the performance polls click here . I suppose he'll go down in history right along side of Millard Filmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Jimmy Carter and Slick Willie Clinton as failed American presidents.

[woofie]

BS

[Ptaz]

So....is he running for re-election or something? Doesn't amount to a hill of beans (well maybe in reporters minds, but nobody else)

[meandog]

Hey don't attact the messenger because you don't like the message.

[Huck]

Well, you're bound to piss off the opposition. But once you stick your own base in the eye, this is what you get. I doubt he cares. He's not running.

[SelectiveJNJ]

The media is more powerful than the governement, the truth, the military and the people combined!

I suppose he'll go down in history right along side of Millard Filmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Jimmy Carter and Slick Willie Clinton as failed American presidents.

What were the disapproval ratings of Millard Filmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Jimmy Carter and Slick Willie Clinton? And what does that have to do with history?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, more rigged polls from polls that over-represent Democrats. Show me one poll that accurately represents the voting population at around 35% Dem, 33% GOP and I'll give a crap about it. But everything that's been released lately has had gaps of as much as 14 percentage points between GOP and Dems. The AP poll had Dems. at 50%, GOPers at 40%. So spare us the obsessive poll mongering. They're just a reflection of what the lapdog media thinks America's opinion of Bush should be.

Based on what? What have you been smoking?

[Psycho_Bunny]

Since when is disapproval, failure?

[Borges]

We are the mediocre presidents.
You won't find our faces on dollars or on cents!
There's Taylor, there's Tyler,
There's Fillmore and there's Hayes.
There's William Henry Harrison,

Harrison: I died in thirty days!

We... are... the...
Adequate, forgettable,
Occasionally regrettable
Caretaker presidents of the U-S-A!"

[doesnt suffer fools gladly]

If the media gave Bush a fair shake, his poll numbers would be better. Our economy is great, yet people think it's bad.

[ConsentofGoverned]

globalism and open borders are the mantra of the GOP chairman melman and BUSH's family
it does not sell well on main street, even for a president who is willing to fight WOT.

[cspackler]

Yeah, and everyone loved Reagan at the end of his second term.

History will write the story, And don't play the messenger game after throwing in your own hyperbole...

[nuconvert]

I suppose these are the same people who think he's done a terrible job on the economy and jobs?

[zarf]

Bush could give a damn. Iran next.

[aShepard]

Looks like the kook media and the RATs have been very effective in their war against the President.

Too bad that W doesn't have the will (or the eloquence) to call these scum what they are.!

[slowhand520]

LOL! Yet another "Bush hits all time low" poll.

[meandog]

Polls didn't really exist in the time of Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan but they are generally regarded as the worst three in the annals of the American presidency by historians...
...Nixon, Carter and Clinton are the worst three modern holders of office, IMHO.

[melka]

you mean the media is biased in it's polling? Is that like on election day when they wanted us to believe Kerry had already won so we might as well stay home? yeah from that point forward, I trusted all these polls more than ever! well not so much!
