Poll: Clinton outperformed Bush (CNN Barf Alert)
cnn ^ | 5/12/06

Posted on 05/12/2006 8:54:15 PM PDT by finnman69

(CNN) -- In a new poll comparing President Bush's job performance with that of his predecessor, a strong majority of respondents said President Clinton outperformed Bush on a host of issues.

The poll of 1,021 adult Americans was conducted May 5-7 by Opinion Research Corp. for CNN. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Respondents favored Clinton by greater than 2-to-1 margins when asked who did a better job at handling the economy (63 percent Clinton, 26 percent Bush) and solving the problems of ordinary Americans (62 percent Clinton, 25 percent Bush). (Watch whether Americans are getting nostalgic for the Clinton era -- 1:57)

On foreign affairs, the margin was 56 percent to 32 percent in Clinton's favor; on taxes, it was 51 percent to 35 percent for Clinton; and on handling natural disasters, it was 51 percent to 30 percent, also favoring Clinton.

Moreover, 59 percent said Bush has done more to divide the country, while only 27 percent said Clinton had.

When asked which man was more honest as president, poll respondents were more evenly divided, with the numbers -- 46 percent Clinton to 41 percent Bush

Clinton did "out perform" Bush....in dodging his responsibilities, lining campaign coffers with graft even by illegal means and selling out this country.

I guess CNN (and the fools who'd tune in) find those traits admirable in a President.

I guess that you didn't get my point..... I watch the "commie news network" almost as much as I listen to "rap"...... NEVER!

I don't give a rip about either and their communist agenda.

CNN: Clinton outperformed Bush

It's not known as the "Clinton News Network" for nothing.

CNN is still going through withdrawals after their hero left office.

Which man would you say was more honest as president?

President Bush 26% 5172 votes

President Clinton 74% 14878 votes
Total: 20050 votes


And the 74% actually are voters. Too bad intelligence isn't a requirement when voting.

Bringing in the Mexican Genereral Defense Minister to DC to advise/consult on "comprehensive immigration reform" and the concept of using National Guard troops at the Mexican border should solve the tanking polls.


Maybe Chavez and Castro could send up a General too......

You are so right! Why do you think Hellery thinks she has a chance at being President? These two think they own America politically and with a willing, left-wing ,socialist press behind them, why not?
