Bush Approval Rating Remains Low
Just 33% of Americans approve

by Jeffrey M. Jones


GALLUP NEWS SERVICE

PRINCETON, NJ -- The latest USA Today/Gallup poll shows continued low approval ratings for George W. Bush. Thirty-three percent of Americans approve and 63% disapprove of the job Bush is doing as president, according to the March 2-4, 2007 survey. That is just two percentage points above his personal low of 31% from May 2006. Bush's support among Republicans has slipped to 70%, just two points above the low-water mark for his party base, also in May 2006.

Why Giuliani can't win. There is no daylight between Bush and Giuliani on Iraq. What daylight exists is on social issues where Giuliani is worse.

Even GOP support is down. Unless Bush wins the surge before election a match between a 'Bush and an UnBush' invites disaster.

But, but, but... what about the SC straw poll????

You know once they see those cross dressing photo's it's all over!!!!... :)

[saganite]

It's a poll about favorability ratings. That's a new one to me. Totally worthless.

Hillary is a New Yorker? When she was elected I merely thought Hell had been admitted to the Union. ;)

Hillary is not a NYer.

Note to SC: Check out NYS's economy, why don'cha, then see if you really want to vote for a 'Rat or a RINO...

As a Duncan Hunter supporter I am choosing not to engage in debate on this Rudy Giuliani thread on Free Republic. As a freeper I am disappointed that there are fans of a liberal presidential candidate trying to push socially liberal views on this socially conservative forum. In particular, I have noticed that the Rudy G fans do not answer posts questioning the qualitative substance of their candidate, or the posts are met merely with insults.

Will the real Rudy show up at CPAC?

Culture of life:

ABC clip:

George Will: "Do you think Roe v Wade was good constitutional law?"

Rudy Giuliani: "Yes I believe, I believe it is."

Cnn Clip December 2, 1999:

Announcer: "Giuliani was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial birth abortions, something Bush strongly supports."

Rudy Giuliani : "No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing."

Immigration

CNN clip:

Announcer: "Back in 1996, mayor Giuliani went to federal court to challenge new federal laws requiring the city to inform the federal government about illegal immigrants."

Rudy Giuliani: "There isn't a mayor or a public official in this country that's more strongly pro immigrant than I am. Including disagreeing with President Clinton when he signed an anti-immigration legislation about two or three years ago."

Gun control:

CNN clip

Rudy Giuliani: "I'm in favor of gun control"

Meet The Press:

Tim Russert: "How about registration of all handguns?"

Rudy Giuliani: "You know I'm in favor of that. I've been on your show many times."

Gay Rights:

CNN Clip:

Announcer: "As mayor he supported civil unions, and extending health and other benefits to gay couples."

ABC Clip: "I supported domestic partnership legislation and signed it"

Meet The Press:

Tim Russert: "So should gay people be openly allowed to serve?"

Rudy Giuliani: "I think people should be judged on the merits. And there should not be a specific focus on someone's sexual orientation."

First Amendment:

ABC Clip

Cokie Roberts: "Would you vote in the senate in favor of Mccain / Feingold?"

Rudy Giuliani: "Yes, I'm a big supporter of Mccain / Feingold. I have been for a long time."

Party Loyalty:

ABC Clip:

Rudy Giuliani: "Frankly George, I'd like to run on all the lines. I'd like to run on the liberal line, the conservative line, I'd like to run on the democratic line if I could figure out how to do it."

Conservative Values:

Meet The Press:

Tim Russert: "Whether it's gays in the military, gun control, campaign finance, late term abortion - you and Hillary Clinton are in sync on those issues."

Rudy Giuliani: "Well then maybe the other side should stop the 'He's part of the vast right wing conspiracy'."

Welcome To CPAC, Rudy!

End clip.
