Bush Approval Rating Holding Steady at 22%... LINK
http://americanresearchgroup.com/

Realizing that these poll results were collected in April 2008, can Bush's Approval Numbers go lower?

Democrats should never utter the word 'Republicans' without including the word 'Bush' as a preface.

People need to be constantly reminded that all Republicans are responsible for giving Bush the power to inflict disaster on our country, and should be held responsible for their actions at the polls.

Hopefully the Democrats will plaster the media with the picture of Bush holding McCain close to his chest. Kinda of says it all...

1. I don't see it as +22%, maby -22%.

6. The 22% who love perpetual wars of aggression, wholly irresponsible fiscal policies, a poor economy
any jobs market, a tanking dollar and standard of living, and moreover, don't give a diddle-dy-f*ck about the rule of law, the Constitution, the environment. :D

9. almost 20% of Americans
think they're in the richest 1%... so, they probably like Bush and his tax policies.

the others are just the margin of error.

11. And Yet, The Number Is Indeed, High
Talking to some people i know at Pew, the surveys for presidential approval almost always contain options such as "strongly approve" and "somewhat approve". The combined total of these are published as the "approval rating". So, in Silverspoon's case, these numbers might be 10% and 12%. The people you're describing would fall in the 10% class, but there are scaredy-cats who still think he's keeping them "safe" and "somewhat approve". They don't like war or bad economies, but there are still afraid. Unfortunately, or his approval rating would be approaching 10%.

Bush Recession
Bush Inflation
Bush Food prices
Bush Housing crisis
Bush Food storages
Bush Mortgage crisis

16. I was thinking of the pic showing McCain with his eyes closed and head on Bush's chest...
... knowing that the Bush campaign ran racist propaganda ads against him earlier in S.C.

13. That makes some sense
According to the Bell Curve 15.9 percent would be to dumb to know who to approve and the others then would have to be cronies and those who have benefited from Bush (war profiteers and such).
