I wonder if this will hurt his reelection chances? /s

[billybudd]

The liberal media spins this as support for liberal policies, when it's really dissatisfaction that Bush is not the conservative we voted for.

[silverleaf]

And next, the poll on the public approval rating for Congress...

(sound of crickets chirping)

[EagleUSA]

I would venture to say the Independent vote is more significant that either the Dim or Repub votes.

[msnimje]

I wish some John Nash type could figure out a formula to apply to polls to factor OUT the MSM's influence on the results.

Bush's Fault!!!!

[Fierce Allegiance]

The single biggest failure of the Bush administration is the war on public relations.

[Our man in washington]

Bush just announced a bunch of cuts in his new budget. I definitely approve of that.

Some of those cuts hurt me personally, but they are good for the country.

[pabianice]

That's six points higher than Truman's popularity in November, 1951. I guess we shouldn't have helped South Korea, either.

[kabar]

The reason for the low poll numbers has more to do with disaffected conservative voters who are unhappy with Bush's support of amnesty than unappiness with the war in Iraq.

[Trygar]

What does it matter about his approval rating? Did I miss a big change in the way things work now and he is eligible to run for office again?

What he needs to do now is tell us all this, "Hi America. I come to you now to explain how I am going to be handling the situation in the Middle East from now on. Congress isn't going to like it, the House isn't going to like it and a lot of you citizens aren't going to like it. But, I don't give a damn. It needs to be done. First off, we are going to be killing a lot of terrorists/insurgents/upset natives (What ever it is you like to call them now.) Secondly, we are going to be blowing a lot of shit up. This is how it is going to go until I feel it is time for us to pull out or until I am replaced as COMMANDER!"

[mysterio]

Maybe he should trade big government statism for small government conservatism. That might help his numbers.

Nah, that's crazy talk. More spending!

[marvlus]

More Americans disapprove than approve of his handling of seven different issues tested in the poll;

More and more Americans have no understanding of what is going on around them today. They are plugged into American Idol or Dancing with the Stars.

[38special]

Well, he still gets the Rock Star treatment on Wall Street.

[FixitGuy]

Bush's poll numbers are not so much about the "job he's doing" as it is about the percent of weenies in our population.

[jveritas]

I am very glad that President Bush is a real leader who does not give a damn about polls. In times of war we need a Leader President not a politician President.

[CyberAnt]

Well .. Rasmussen still has Bush above 40% - and even they are oversampling dems by 7%. So .. actually Bush is even closer to 45% than ANYONE IS WILLING TO ADMIT.

And .. it was recently discovered that some pollsters were oversampling dems by as much as 22% (which is way out of line) - and is an increase over the 16% they were using during the 2006 elections.

If these idiots are having to increase their oversampling by 6% in order to get the low numbers they want .. then Bush MUST BE INCREASING IN APPROVAL .. NOT DECREASING.

How about a few letters to the editors around the country pointing out these FAKE NUMBERS.

[Ikemeister]

It only shows what happens when a politician tries to please everybody.

[betsyross1776]
