This must be from the new school of journalism. Don’t report the news when you can make it up as you go along. What is the frequency Ken?

In Oct. 2006, a pollster called me and asked whether I approve of President Bush. I said, “No, he’s too liberal.” The majority of the people who disapprove of him might agree with me, but the pollsters won’t announce that.

Exactly. Other than his immigration mess he has done what a president is suppose to do. Protect our borders, appoint judges, and leave things alone.

The death of conservatism is the fault of all those who watch too much tv and drink Starbucks instead of remaining informed in order to battle liars that get elected on promises of fixing everything for everyone.

70% disapproval rating from a CNN poll....

I’d fire the bastards! A good pollster can always get 80% if they did it right!

God Bless President George W Bush!

I love that man!

If gas was 1.50/gal, he would be in the the seventies favorable.

Wait! We've got to remember that in '06 when the Dems took over, Nancy Pelosi said that she was going to solve the gas problem and heck, looking back, gas was plumb reasonable--a bargain! I remember that clearly, let's not knock Pres. Bush on everything, the Dems have roadblocked EVERY attempt to do something about energy for decades, they and their wacko friends.

Now, the border security you bet, he should've been on that on 9/12, no excuse. But for our troops, God bless him, he's stood by them and fought for equipment, funding as well as good leadership (Gen Petraeus for example) so if we obliterate the Islamofascists in this conflict, he'll prove out to be quite remarkable. But then again, we have the Dems to contend with...

Popularity is an overrated commodity. I'd rather be known for doing the right thing and treating people with respect, especially those who are close to me.

History teaches us that often those most reviled end up doing the best things. Moses, Jesus, most of the Christian saints, historical figures like Lincoln, Gandhi, Washington, all had their issues with popularity. But they still did the right things and upheld the moral principles they lived by. In the end, that's probably more important than popularity, which tends to be fickle and fleeting.

While most of us admire him on the WOT, I would give him an unfavorable rating if I were polled.

I wouldn't, because of tax cuts, two good judges on SCOTUS, he pulled us through some really tough times as a nation, and he has fought for the unborn where he had the opportunity. He's not perfect, but no President is. I'd say Bush is one of the best we've had.

“A new poll suggests that George W. Bush is the most unpopular president in modern American history.”

Give it a couple years, and that’s going to change....

President Bush, compared to what is in front of us is looking pretty darn good these days.

W could have plugged the border and not bought into AGW. He’s getting it from both sides now - his choice.

There’s NO WAY he beat out Jimmy Carter for that title.

It’s fashionable to be a critic, nowdays.

Of course it matters what the demographics are in the group that is polled. There was a poll on TV yesterday that had Bush's approval at 32% which is about where it has been for a long time.

I don't think Truman or Nixon had quite as monolithically hostile a media as Bush has had. Granted, Nixon wasn't loved by the press, but the media's presence was less in that era, before the rise of CNN and other cable news & opinion channels, so the pounding wasn't quite as relentless as now.

Methinks Bush would kick Ohilarma A$$ if he could run again.
