33%

Bush approval rating: 33%

This is a new record low according to Pew Research/Washington Post. It's also one of the lowest approval rating EVER for a US president, only surpassed by Nixon during his resignation after Watergate.

At this point, herpes is more popular than this guy. And just about as popular as hemorrhoids.

Several recent polls, including the AP-Ipsos poll, have found Bush's approval ratings in the 30s. The Pew poll found Bush's job approval at 33 percent, the lowest ever in that poll. (...)

Washington Post


Why are most Democrats in the senate still sticking to Bush?

6. They are cowardly to a moronic level.
There is nothing to gain by not sticking it to Bush. What the fuck is wrong with the Senate Democrats?

7. That he has even 33% is like looking at how many of the
cars you see on the interstate contain child killers. How many of the voting pukes are toad brains? Uuurg! I gotta get away for a while.
How unutterably evil and stupid can one group of people be?

11. 1 in 3 Americans has issues
Seriously. In lieu of what we have seen, after all that we've been through in the last 5 years... how can 33% of us can possible APPROVE of this guy and his disastrous administration? It defies logic.

14. You can pick out three people off the street and tell them
"Bush blows". One will walk away in a huff, the other two will offer to buy you a drink.

16. It amazes me how stubborn the Bush Cultists are
These people do not behave liek rational folks making reasoned political decisions. They behave like people in CULT, drinking the kool-aide and following dear leader to whatever cliff he would ask them to jump off. They are nuts!

Give him another six to eight months.

20. Imagine if half of the remaining 33% told the truth when they were polled
It would reflect Bush's real rating which would be around 15%, giver or take.

22. Imagine if they all knew what we did
Even that number would be lower.

Face it, the only ones still supporting the Chimp are those too embarassed to admit they were wrong or they're truly in love with a mirage.

26. 48% use a negative word to describe Bush
From the same Pew study:

http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?ReportID=271

Currently, 48% use a negative word to describe Bush compared with just 28% who use a positive term, and 10% who use neutral language.

The changing impressions of the president can best be viewed by tracking over time how often words come up in these top-of-the-mind associations. Until now, the most frequently offered word to describe the president was "honest," but this comes up far less often today than in the past. Other positive traits such as "integrity" are also cited less, and virtually no respondent used superlatives such as "excellent" or "great" ­ terms that came up fairly often in previous surveys.

The single word most frequently associated with George W. Bush today is "incompetent,"and close behind are two other increasingly mentioned descriptors: "idiot" and "liar." All three are mentioned far more often today than a year ago.
