3. They will level off now.
They are down pretty much to the people who voted for him in '00 -- and don't want to face up to the damn fools they are.

The folks that voted for him are dropping like flys also.

6. I'm not sure he's done falling
Edited on Tue Sep-23-03 06:19 PM by diplomats
His economic ratings are in the 30s (in other polls, not this one), and his Iraq ratings are still dropping. Since some Repukes are beginning to be angry at him, I don't believe he has hit rock bottom. In this poll his rating among Repukes is 74 percent; that's not good at all.

9. Remember, there are LOTS of swing voters
who voted for him who were on the cusp of voting for Gore. A lot of original Bush voters must have voted for Clinton also for instance or at least were part of the 65%-70% that had high opinions of him. I think you overestimate the Chimps hardcore, unswayable base. I would say it's probably no higher than 35%.

14. I agree. After Clinton
moderates I know voted for Bush (who had voted for Clinton) because they said "we need a change". Well, even more should be thinking that, now. This administration ONLY has the fear factor. And that's wearing off.

12. Time to reinvent the propaganda, again
We can expect the right-wing droids to be reprogammed with some appropriate catch phrases during the next firmware update cycle:

"The popular wartime president has the full and unconditional support of the American people, save for a few technicalities."

"There are no Democrat party supporters in America. Never!"

"Our initial assessment is that they will lose."

"Who are in control, they are not in control of anything - they don't even control themselves!"

"We are not afraid of the Democrat party. God has condemned them. They are stupid. They are stupid" (dramatic pause) "and they are condemned."

"The liberal press is all about lies! All they tell is lies, lies and more lies!"

"I have detailed information about the situation...which completely proves that what they allege are illusions . . . They lie every day."

"These cowards have no morals. They have no shame about lying"

13. And some of that 45% are Democrats...
That means his own Party does not support him. He is in deep doo-doo, as Poppy Bush might say. :)
