What are we, a bunch of Stephen Colberts? We don’t believe the poll is accruate because we don’t agree with the results of the poll Isn’t that what “truthiness” is?

Come on. George Bush is an unpopular President. That doesn’t mean his policies are wrong, or that anything he’s doing is particularly awful, just that the majority of Americans don’t support him and haven’t since Katrina.

I don’t know what (if anything) can be done about this. The people have made up their minds about Iraq and President Bush.

Still, the ‘08 candidates are very competitive against the Dems, so all is not lost by any means.

Actually, George Bush has always been a PERSONALLY POPULAR president — his LIKABILITY RATINGS have never dipped below 60% (Battleground Poll).

What’s unpopular are the plethora of challenges with which President Bush has had to contend during his presidency . . . It’s these challenges that are affecting the President’s JOB approval ratings — this same phenomenon happened with Reagan during the tough economic times early in his presidency and the Iran-Contra controversy later in his presidency.
