1. That means that 28% are either war profiteers or dumb as a brick, or both n/t

3. Millionaires and suckers n/t

2. I still find 28% rather hard to believe.

when 81% of the US think we are fucked up and heading the wrong way, like that diabetic Canadian truck driver, it is not conceivable that 28% support him.

4. Well, he dropped another mile in my estimation

5. Boy, they had to really dig to get that statistics.

"The CBS News-New York Times poll released Thursday showed 81 percent of respondents said they believed "things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track." That was up from 69 percent a year ago, and 35 percent in early 2002."

That's the lead.

"A majority of Democrats and Republicans, men and women, residents of cities and rural areas, college graduates and those who finished only high school say the United States is headed in the wrong direction, according to the survey, which was published on The New York Times' Web site.

Seventy-eight percent of respondents said the country was worse off than five years ago; just 4 percent said it was doing better.

The newspaper said Americans are more dissatisfied with the country's direction than at any time since the poll's inception in the early 1990s. Only 21 percent of respondents said the overall economy was in good condition, the lowest such number since late 1992. Two in three people said they believed the economy was already in recession."

The poll started in the 1990s and hasn't seen such awful disapproval numbers. I really think the 28% who approve of the bush feel sorry for the idiot.

6. I'm sure that GWB's record-breaking low numbers are heavily rigged in his favor.

7. How do you do it Perry?

Catching the oh-so-obvious when we all do not. Great point!!

8. Those twenty-eight percenters aren't likely to change...

...if, indeed, there really are that many.
