Poll finds Bush is losing support across California
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/04/06/MNGPO616OS1.DTL

A new poll shows President Bush's approval ratings in California have plummeted, even in the state's most GOP-dominated conservative areas.

With the Iraq war taking a difficult turn and questions raised at home about the administration's terrorism policy, the poll by the Survey and Policy Research Institute at San Jose State University released Monday puts Bush's state approval ratings at just 38 percent, while 50 percent disapprove.

That's a dramatic change from the start of the year, when 49 percent of Californians approved of the job the president was doing, and 40 percent disapproved.


Approval rating at 38%!!! :bounce:

4. Believe me, honey, we are working on it. Now if we could get someone
to spend some money and put some anti-bush ads on the air here, we could help our local candidates and maybe make a difference.

28. I want to see the first state to declare and shock the world
I am referring to Indiana. The only reason they announce the winner of their state before everyone else is because the polls close at 6:00 PM.

The other scenario would be for Indiana to delay announcing the winner longer than usual.

5. Junior can spend all of the campaign money he wants in California.
But, it won't make any difference.

Folks here are smart and they know what a total miserable failure he is!

10. Even areas of traditional Republican support shows ...
... signs of weakening as greater numbers of moderate Republicans are growing weary of Bush-shit.

-- Bush's approval ratings even in conservative areas have shifted downward in the past three months. In Southern California counties other than Democratic-leaning Los Angeles, the president's approval-disapproval rating today is 44-44, an even split; in January, he held overwhelmingly positive 58- 31 percent ratings.

29. All the better
The more money he spends in states that he loses the less he has for states that are close.

AND

The more money he spends in states that he should win the less he has for states that are close.

39. I hope you're right, but...
the fact that Arnold is the guvernator makes me wonder about your comment on how smart California voters are.

42. I've noticed that too!
I haven't seen many "Bush/ Cheney" bumper stickers even in Orange County or San Diego.

I've got THREE anti Bush bumber stickers on my car:

"Who Would Jesus Bomb?"
"Drop Bush Not Bombs"
"Let's not elect him in 2004 either"

25. Only problem:
This is a poll of consumers, whether or not they're registered to vote. The ones that aren't, I hope they get registered and go out to vote in November.

35. Of Course The Gropenator Can "Deliver" California to the Shrub
All he needs to do is to make sure that Bush*'s people have access
to the voting machinez. :-(

Real Results: 60% Kerry, 35% Bush, 5% Nader

Roverized Results: 43% Kerry, 44% Bush, 13% Nader

36. Could this lead to Gropenator's ouster, as well?
I seem to recall Ahnold has to defend his governorship in November. Is dubya going to interfere with his Master Plan?

I could get better than 38% by being a write in candidate. That is really lame for an incumbant prez. Oh well, our prez is just totally lame. I hope he hits the skids in my state - Texas!
