1. Be sure to vote. n/t

[tavalon]

2. I'm sure there are plenty of DUers who would like to express

their appreciation of the pResident and the fine (not) work he's doing. It's hard work, you know.

I've nominated this for the greatest page so more people will see it.

[NYC]

3. Bush polled poorly because he spoke poorly.

I don't know who those people are who think he is doing well "overall," or who can be satisfied with his press conference.

[bluestateguy]

4. I don't care for internet polls

They are pretty much worthless.

[Erika]

6. But AOL has been historically slanted GOP

This says a lot.

[MrScorpio]

9. Exactly

I had to double check what web page I was looking at when I found this.

A few more rubes are painfully finding out that they've been had.

[Nothing Without Hope]

26. Exactly. When I first saw it at first I thought the numbers had been

accidentally reversed. But then I saw that they were consistent for both questions, and I realized that it really was what it seemed.

I do think people are beginning to wake up.

And did you see this thread? CSPAN is actually going to show a lecture telling the truth about 9/11 and raising the possibility OUT LOUD that it may have been MIHOP:

[pnorman]

29. They're subject to a lot of errors,

besides systematic "freeping". But such a convincing margin of disapproval, and with such a large sample. Also, AOL is is considered "middle of the road" at best. Frankly, I'm heartened by that poll, and I don't feel that I'm clutching at straws.

[mcctatas]

5. He's always been a "C" student

If only that had any meaning. I still remember how poorly he polled after the debates, fat lotta good that did. Still it's nice to see the numbers...they're oddly comforting :banghead:

[fooj]

23. Comforting, indeed!

Welcome to DU! MSNBC had a poll today and asked about Shrub's job performance.....76% said NOT GOOD!!! 22% GOOD......2% DIDN'T KNOW

OMG- I'd be so ashamed if my numbers were that bad! Just proves what a clueless, shameless bastard he is!

Peace.:patriot:

[jculp123180]

7. Normally I can stand the guy

But lately he's been pissin me off royally...I'm tired of hearing about Social Security and I wish he'd talk about something else!

[Lorien]

8. He doesn't care

he's a lazy, uncaring, drunken lame duck pResident. He doesn't care what anyone thinks, because it doesn't occur to him that things won't just be handed to him to begin with.

[truthisfreedom]

16. these numbers make fox news' numbers a complete embarrassment to the

network... they're an extension of the bush mob and they are swinging in the wind.

[mcctatas]

Up Karl Rove's ass that is!!

27. Done - Voted

eom

[dArKeR]

28. Currently it looks like 100 people are voting every 4 minutes

[Mist]

30. Just voted - now stands at

64% not at all satisfied w/speech, and 59% think he's doing a poor job.

[radfringe]

31. don't look at polls

once again bush* stated that he doesn't look at polls...

sorry - but polls are an informal "vote" -- polls are a way to gauge public opinion and highlight the general mood.

To say "I don't look at pools" or "I don't pay attention to polls" is the same thing as saying "Who cares what the people think".

the people think his social security scam stinks -- bush* says "who cares what people think"

the people think Iraq is a mistake -- bush* says "who cares what people think"

the people think the economy sucks -- bush* says "who cares what people think"

the people think the energy policy is crappola -- bush* says "who cares what people think"

the people think bush* is beholden to financial institutions, energy companies, insurance companies and other corporations -- bush* says "who cares what people think"

I think people are wising up to this attitude and should I ever have the opportunity to express this directly to bush* I'm sure his answer would be "Who cares what you think"

[DoYouEverWonder]

33. Bush doesn't look at polls

because he can't friggin' read. That's what he hired Karl Rove to do. Besides Karl Rove admitted that he does his own polling, which is a violation of the Hatch Act. But when did the rule of law ever matter to those two?

[radfringe]

34. meanwhile.....

[Solly Mack]

32. Mr "We operate within the law" (regarding rendition/torture)

needs to be brought up on war crime charges and that needs to be done soon...it should have been done already.

I'm sick of this man and all who defend him.

[Maine-ah]

35. he's a fuckwad.

my husband and I sat there last night yelling at the dipshit, I couldn't take it anymore so I picked up my book and read.

[LostinVA]

36. I'm still ticked this idiot preempted "Survivor." n/t

37. When ya see numbers this low for junior from a right wing

poll, 'ya have to know that junior is tanking badly these days and hardly no one is buying into his breeze.

42. If we only had"No Confidence" votes

Similar to those held by our few remaining democratic friends. The depth of my loathing for this person is indescribable. It seems like a terrible dream from which I will soon awaken. Please, let it be so...

[harlinchi]

40. voted at 7:40 a.m.

[sendero]

41. Of course...

.... internet polls don't have the same meaning as a real scientifically executed poll, but they mean something.

I think Bush** is rapidly losing everyone except the 30% idiot-contingent (people who would still support him if there was video of him robbing a bank) and I also think that credibility lost is almost impossible to regain.

I think Bush** has a long 3 years ahead of him.

To those who support the Bush policies, when your viewpoint is shared by less than one third of the rest of the country, shouldn't you re-examine why you stand for it? You could be one of the few who sees clearly, but that is not likely, you are more likely one of the few who follows blindly, even if it hurts you. Think about it.

[AuntiBush]

45. Anyone notice Chimp mentioned he didn't like polls either

Hmmm.. wonder why he made that made that statement.

Like no one could figure that one out.

[newportdadde]

46. But but.. he doesn't Govern Based on Polls....
