Bush's Job Approval Rating at 76%
Public's rating varies by political affiliation
GALLUP NEWS SERVICE
PRINCETON, NJ – George W. Bush's current job approval rating stands at 76%, his lowest rating since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The rating represents a continuation of the gradual decline in Bush's job approval observed since his high point of 90% in September, but it is still significantly higher than any approval rating recorded for Bush prior to the attacks.
George W. Bush’s Job Approval Rating
The decline in Bush's overall job approval rating can be attributed to changes in the opinions of Democrats, and to a lesser extent, political independents. Following the Sept. 11 attacks, Democratic opinion of how Bush was handling his job soared by more than 50 points. Over the last six months, Bush's ratings among Democrats have decreased from the mid-80s to the middle to low 60s. A similar pattern exists among independents, whose approval rating for Bush has decreased from the high 80s to the middle to low 70s in the last six months. Bush's rating among Republicans remains in the middle 90s, where it has been since September.

Survey Methods
These results are based on telephone interviews with a randomly selected national sample of 1,009 adults, aged 18 and older, conducted April 5-7, 2002. For results based on this sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum error attributable to sampling and other random effects is ±3%. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.
HA! If you factor in a 3% margin of error, it actually could be rising, my friend!
Wishful thinking on your part, perhaps, but dead wrong! There has never been a President this popular, and there may never be again. Get used to it.
Hey, schmack, why don't you go back to the "democraticunderground", and see if your stupid remarks stick. You sound like a little puny narrow minded asshole, trying to disrupt a grown up site.
Now , did the doctor sez it's OK for you to leave the room? You better check that ol' pill box first!
Irrelevant. He did swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America, a promise broken when he signed CFR.

Rush's first caller today slammed El Rushbo hard for continually bashing Bush. And it's true. I'm a faithful and longtime listener (since about '89), but now I just turn him off when he starts with the Bush bashing.
Rush, as he usually does when he's crossed, became quite defensive during the phone call and afterward. He doesn't take criticism well.
So what does that tell you about the Bush basher here? :-)
My, you're being kind tonight.
Excuse me? Where ARE you getting your news? Not where I get mine, I can tell you.
So, he had seen your postings?
(Blatantly stealing joke from Jesse Jackson)
If Bush walked on water, the malcontents on here would start screaming that he couldn't swim.
Oh, is THAT what that is. :-)
