"Fare thee well Titanic, fare thee well.
So Jack says it's all right baby it's all right
I'm gonna sit right here on the pier
and watch you go right on down."

17. Time for anohter Terra alert

Well Dubyas approval rating is hitting the 'Terra Alert' threshold.
Expect an imminent Terra alert and threat soon.

It is total insanity,that he still has as much as 44% approval rating after 4+ years of a very dark cloud hanging over the whole universe since Bush was Selected.

2. Once again, americans give the finger to AWOL Bush. it's actually old

news.

but still fun to read. ;)

[BadNews]

3. He already has his power. He no longer cares.

The repukes will pass everything they can while they have control. If they swindle another election, I expect to see Rice, or Cheney as the next President. Add a couple conservative Supremes, and they can afford a few losses in house seats.

4. Jamie Brokett

7. Americans are feeling the Pain and Repub's are feeling it Bad!!!

Bush took down the Middle class farmers and women what more can I say and he does nothing for Healthcare and trys to destroy Social Security and place us in emormous Debt!!!

Ya the pain has just started wait it gets worse!!!

We still have three more years!!!

[BadGimp]

15. They/We don't know pain like the pain that's comming!

Oh brother just you wait..

8. More proof "Senator" Kerry is "President" Kerry.

56% disapprove of how Bush is doing, yet they expect us to believe 51% VOTED for him?

Yeah and I have a bridge to sell you...

10. I hardly think that you can make that connection...

So, somehow a poll taken NOW proves that Bush didn't win in NOVEMBER??? Umm.... I'm sorry, but that logic just doesn't withstand scrutiny. But it does show that Bush's support was soft...and how bad a job Kerry did of breaking through it. If he'd done his job, it'd been a landslide that Bush couldn't rig in his favor.

20. I think the connection can be made

since his poll numbers weren't exactly overwhelmingly positive prior to the election, or during the election. And they've just continued on their downward spiral. It's really not a great leap, combined with everything else we know about the election (assuming you have studied up on election fraud). To me it's quite logical, and just adds to the already pretty convincing circumstantial evidence that the election was stolen.

Just my opinion, but I seem to recall even the Bush camp thought they'd lost, until KKKarl reassured them. None of the numbers looked good then, and they look worse now. No surprises here, except for the fact that the guy with all those poor poll numbers is in the WH.

[BadNews]

12. Soft Logic

There may have been wide spread voter fraud, but this poll proves nothing. If you were to ask the same people if they think Kerry would have done a better job, it may be back to a 1% split.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

14. I don't care what the rest are saying..

I can't see how a president who had JUST WON an election had an approval rate of less than 50% just 2 months later. Nobody says this is "proof" the election was stolen, but it is yet more circumstantial evidence...

9. why don't i ever get asked

what i think the approval rating should be?

[Tamyrlin79]

11. Probably because they don't allow negative numbers....

16. Bush has killed our economy and world prestige

and he's killing our military in his imperialism. See at www.icasualties.org

18. No worry. Pope Neocon I will pray for his favorite fascist.

And then issue a papal decree instructing all christians to bow down and worship, (er I mean in support of) the beast.

21. We're Not On the Pier, We're In the Steerage-Class Cabins

you know, the ones on the lower decks, on the wrong side of the water-tight doors.

They only had lifeboats for first class (really).

Yes, this looks a lot like the Titanic,
and yes there are icebergs dead ahead,
and maybe the skipper has been hitting the coke again
because we're steaming full speed ahead right at them.

If this ship goes down it's gonna hurt us a lot more than them.

[struggle4progress]

23. I agree. eom

[OzarkDem]

22. Lame Duck

Whose power is waning both here and overseas. Bush's era is over and his party's power will only go downhill from here.

Let's hope Dems are positioned to take advantage.

[Mountainman]

24. I beginning to think that the bushistas don't give a damn about the rating

Their plan was to come to power to make a financial killing for themselves and their friends and they have done just about all they set out to do. A few things like privatize social security haven't been accomplished but the war in Iraq was the number one goal. Every corp and CEO that supported the regime has made out like bandits. I even think the war's end isn't even important to them since the oil prices have gone through the roof.

The biggest losers here are the poor freeper types who think the administration is in power to support their political and religious agendas. They are nothing but voters who have been used as stepping stones.

Some years hence we will look back on these last years as a time when a bunch of conflicting right wing agendas merged and neither one gained any ground while a bunch of self centered wealthy fat cats got wealthier.

In a piece by Clarance Thomas today, he says that Bush's dip is coming from repukes and independents and not Dems.
