Our local news anchor said something important regarding gwb's poll #'s
She described the latest numbers as the worst of his presidency and then added, "the polling sample did not include any citizens of Louisiana, Mississippi or S. Florida, due to damage from the recent hurricanes."

So, we definitely haven't seen the floor on these numbers, yet. MKJ

1. LOL! He already has a 2% approval with Black voters, and that's with a 3%
margin of error--theoretically leaving him at BELOW ZERO PERCENT.

2. Good point!
There are hundreds of thousands displaced by storms and you can bet that the residents of NO won't have a lot of good opinions of Chimpy.

That is a lot of people. I agree, it can only take the approval numbers down.

4. I figure that the real numbers would be so low that...
the country would panic: the market would crash, the economy would implode, and there would be large-scale riots.

Therefore, the MSM will not report the truth for the sake of the country.

So... go about your business, buy lots of cheap Communist Chinese-made crap at Wal-Mart, and vote Republican.

If *'s numbers get any lower, the terrorists will win!

5. Indeed. If anything, the numbers are inflated.
The very affluent 'survivors' from those areas are most likely to be comfortably housed in other areas, assured that their losses will be covered quite generously. The various recipients of windfalls in privatized spending are another constituency likely to inflate Junior's numbers. It'd be the other 95% who're cut off from polling.
