Bush Approval Rating Holds Steady At 39% In Gallup Poll
Tuesday September 12nd, 2006 / 18h15


NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Gallup's most recent poll shows the public's approval ratings of U.S. President George W. Bush and Congress have changed little, according to results released on The Gallup Poll's Web site Tuesday.

Bush's job approval rating held steady at 39%, in the poll conducted Sept. 7-10. His approval rating has averaged 39% over the last six Gallup polls, since early July.

The survey showed 29% of U.S. citizens approve of the way Congress is handling its job - a high point for the year. Congress' approval rating has averaged 26% over the year.

And, only 32% of those polled said they are satisfied with the way things are going in the country at present, according to Gallup. That is slightly higher than the average of 31% for the year.

1. Under the circumstances, I'm satisfied with that

Given all of the 9/11 hoopla and the ABC fantasy movie, we should thank our lucky stars that it's not higher.

2. 68% think he's an incompetent idiot but that's an improvement over 69%?

Suuuure, it is.

[maddezmom]

3. wow, holding steady @ 39%

I'm sure Bush is very proud...it's hard work ya know. :evilgrin:

Dow Jones can't count.

5. 32% think things are going

swimmingly how does that translate into 39% approving? This makes no sense to me.

[BeyondGeography]

6. How about, "continues to suck at 39%."

[OneBlueSky]

7. I find it incomprehensible that 39% of this nation's citizens . . .

are satisfied with the job Bush is doing . . . it's just beyond me . . .

8. Well, it IS a Gallup poll.

eom

12. They're not crooked. Just not that competent.

Once you screw up the way you balance your data, you're really committed to it so that you can make historical comparisons with the data.

They publish all their data.

[closeupready]

13. I absolutely agree.

I did not not mean to imply anything more than that. :)

Their polls always seem to end up skewed in favor of the GOP, at least when balanced against other contemporary polls.

And so, when questioning why 39% are still giving him approval, one must, in my opinion, keep that in mind, and skew the numbers downward.

16. Aren't the Bush Bums related to the Gallup family?

I read that someplace.

[libhill]

9. Those people

are probably all back woods, red state Bible Belters..you know, the idiots who think the Democrats want to take their guns, and don't think Jaysus would want to nuke them Eye-ranians.

[truth2power]

17. As do I...

I'm convinced that I must be much more intelligent than most of the people I come into contact with on a daily basis. Honestly.

Or...the average American has a death-wish. gawd almighty! :(

[coalition_unwilling]

18. Gallup has exhibited a pronounced Repuke bias over the

recent past. I'd estimate they err in favor of Repukes by 5-6% consistently, which means most other polls have * at 32% approval, also not showing any movement.

[ihelpu2see]

19. I believe that a republican strategist said at the beginning of this slid

that Bush could burn down the White House and still get 30%. Due to the job creation it would create....

Considering the number of idiot neocons that I see as patients up here in Blue CT Im not shocked at 39%...

[VaYallaDawg]

10. I'm wondering where they even found 39 people who agree with him.

[ps1074]

11. He's at 44 according to Rasmussen

eom

[Love Bug]

14. Those that still approve of Bush remind me of this quote from Blazing

Saddles:

"You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons."

[Xenotime]

15. How much lower before we impeach?

[libhill]

21. Maybe

some White House aide will give him a b.j.?

[humbled_opinion]

24. Must impeach both he and VP won't stand for a President

Cheney.... Resignation prior to impeachment when he finds out 60 percent of senate will vote guilty. Impeachment of Cheney. Nacy Pelosi POTUS... Not impossible.

[antonialee839]

20. They're trumpeting this like it's a good thing.

:rofl:

[stepnw1f]

22. Last I Heard

He was at 34% What's with this creeping rise in his numbers everytime another poll comes out. Anyone else noticing this?

[Jack Rabbit]

23. That' Gallup

He's really at about 34%.

[BattyDem]

25. So that means 39% of the country is just plain stupid!

:eyes:

A question for the 39% ...

What the fuck is it going to take for you to wake up? :grr:
