And at leasst half of the posters on FR!
The newsweAk poll would not come up for me.
Rasmussen:
For the month of May, 2007, those target are 37.2% Democrat, 31.4% Republican, and 32.4% Unaffiliated. In April, 2007, those targets were 37.5% Democrat, 31.8% Republican, and 30.5% Unaffiliated.
Anyone else running verrrrry slow?
Most of the responses here, seem to presume Bush’s low poll numbers are a result of liberals not supporting him.
IMHO, that entirely misses the point.
Bush’s approval is low because he’s abandoned so many Republican positions which his once-supporters believe strongly about, that a significant portion of what (should) be his strong base, have given up on him entirely.
Bush really has messed up, pandering so completely to illegal immigrants.
The GOP has been seriously damaged as a result.
One of the new leaders needs to step up to the plate, and start to form a new, pro-American vision for the Republican party so that former Bush supporters can get excited about the GOP again.
That’s not going to happen, with another 12 months of “comprehensive immigration reform” in the headlines through the primary season.
Bush needs. Needs. To abandon his sell-out policies to Mexico, about face and start to act like Reagan.
Not likely. But it’s the only thing which would turn things around.
