Bush's Approval Rating Returns to Low 30s
Matches his average rating since July

PRINCETON, NJ -- According to a new Gallup Poll, conducted Oct. 4-7, 2007, President George W. Bush's job approval rating from the American public is an anemic 32%. That is slightly below his previous reading of 36% from mid-September, but is identical to his average approval score for all Gallup Polls conducted thus far in the second half of the year. Nearly two out of three Americans currently disapprove of Bush's job performance.

Public approval of the job Bush is doing averaged a slightly higher 35% in the first half of this year, peaking at 38% in April. His lowest score of the year thus far -- and also the lowest score of his presidency -- is 29%, and came in July.

Bush's Conservative and Republican Base Giving Him Near Record-Low Support

President Bush continues to be rated approvingly by the two political groups that have traditionally formed his most supportive base: Republicans and Americans who define their political views as "conservative." But the level of approval from each of these is currently at or near the lowest points seen since he became president.

The 67% of Republicans approving of Bush today is slightly below the average 71% Republican approval since July, and approaches his term low-point of 65% approval from Republicans three months ago. Support from Bush's party is now significantly below where it stood at the beginning of the year (averaging 75% in January).

W has done nothing popular, just the opposite. Only the drugged and propagandized left to support him now.

[ckimmy57]

3. now now remember........

those polls "don't mean a thing" according to all those goood ol GOP's.

[Robbien]

4. What is all this "return" business the headline mentions

The headline just can't make itself say Bush's numbers dropped. Or it more aptly should be saying the numbers plunged since 36% to 32% is not a mere drop or a meek "return".

5. 4 points lower here equals slightly lower

Remember when the pundits claimed that a two point increase was significant?
I am so disgusted by the corporate media. I put the pollsters in the same group.

6. Hate Radio and Cabal "News" have been lying that "Bush isn't conservative"

that's the new meme. That's why the morons that pay attention to that crap are abandoning him.

7. Based upon rumor Jenna has begun shopping for a wedding dress...

Bush's final year strategy: Play the Bradjolina/Baby Danny card: begin all press conferences with JennaWedding updates...

Hold the wedding Saturday before election... Ride your daughter's skirttails into retirment...

8. Not when it's discovered that her betrothed is having an affair with

one of her SS protectors.

Some of the kool-ade drinkers have returned?

[Cha]

12. How about the

goat-fucker's polls are still in the 20's and the corporate poll takers are making up shit?

[scarface2004]

13. should say 32% of amerikans are zombies!!

32%?!?!?!?

[Mark E. Smith]

14. I suspect that about 15% of the American people ..

.. support Bush because he is president. Not for anything he has done, and not because he lives on a ranch or picks his teeth with his toes, but because they feel they need to support the office he occupies.

Not defending it, but I have run into people like that.

15. How many times can a dead cat bounce? Or can we assume that the dead cat has now stopped moving?

I guess there will be some movement when the maggots go to work. The stench certainly remains.
