Quinnipac- Bush Approval drops to 41%, his lowest ever

[Rose Siding]

snip>
American voters disapprove of the job President George W. Bush is doing 53 - 41 percent, his lowest approval rating since becoming President. This compares to a 50 - 44 percent disapproval in a May 25 Quinnipiac University poll.


Voters disapprove 60 - 30 percent of the way Congress is doing its job and approve 50 - 39 percent of the way the Supreme Court is doing its job.

1. What happened to that huge pile.......

of political capital the Rain Man had not so long ago? :shrug: He must have blown it all on pretzels and coke.

[Dawgs]

4. This may be an outlier, but...

it's the first time we've seen 41%. Only two more points to the thirties.

[cyberpj]

28. Anyone know what the record for any Pres would be? nt.

[jbnow]

33. Nixon got lowest at 23/24%

just before he resigned.

Looking at this page http://www.ropercenter.uconn.edu/cgi-bin/hsrun.exe/Roperweb/PresJob/PresJob.htx;start=HS_index

it says Truman got down to 22. The winning loser. (The losing winner?)

But if we did world polls I have no doubt bush would blow the other losers away on the way down to the pits of hell. Or even here when the truth comes out.

[lancdem]

49. Other recent polls have it as low as 42

so I don't think this is off the wall. I'd like to know the breakdown of Dems and Repukes polled.

[rdmccur]

39. It turned into

a huge pile of shit. W should be used to piles like that.
Maybe he should shovel it?

[stevietheman]

56. Well... Bush does have the reverse-Midas Touch...

everything he touches turns to shit. LOL

[Dawgs]

2. How bout this part? Me likes!!!

"American voters support the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v Wade decision 65 - 30 percent, the highest level of support in two years of national polls by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University."

[AndyTiedye]

5. And Yet the "Moderate" Position Is to Cave In on Roe V. Wade

:wtf:

[Al-CIAda]

35. Curious it is. n/t

[ninkasi]

41. Yeah, I can never quite figure that out either

it makes no sense for a Democratic politician to claim they are becoming more "centrist" by caving in the the fundies on a law the public clearly wants kept intact.

[niceypoo]

69. The fantasy is that.....

Fundies will vote for them. Will NEVER HAPPEN. The anti-abortion fundies are the 30% that vote Bush even if he throws shit at reporters at a news conference or raped a nun on live TV. Why abandon your loyal 65% on Rov V Wade? Its stupidity.

[ThoughtCriminal]

46. The problem is pro-choice voters

Seem to be less likely to be single-issue voters.

[Skittles]

60. yes, because we think for ourselves

we don't gooose-step to a party line

[blondeatlast]

64. Things that make you go "hmmmm..."

I just can't even take that argument seriously anymore, except that those making it are deadly determined.

[FreedomAngel82]

15. WOW!

This is good!!

[HockeyMom]

17. Freepers don't believe the polls,

either on Bush approval rating OR on support for Roe v Wade.

But then if they cannot believe how a mother or a father can be pro choice, they are in for a rude awakening.

[Initech]

20. Can I rephrase that?

It should be "Freepers dont believe in polls."

[Ravenseye]

48. No No No

Freepers don't believe in polls that don't reinforce their beliefs.

[Arugula Latte]

32. I want Roe saved for my daughter

and my son.

[ClintonTyree]

43. When has the will of the people..........

ever stood in the way of this wrecking ball of an administration? The theo-fascists KNOW what's good for us, we have no business thinking for ourselves. :banghead:

[CAcyclist]

68. And Supposedly The US Is Becoming More Conservative nt

[rndmprsn]

3. whammo!

[KharmaTrain]

6. A 10 Point Drop in 6 Months...I'm Impressed...

Wasn't Bunnypant's numbers in the low/mid 50's right after his "mandate" :puke:???

Then there was Shaivo and the "Gang of 14" and now the Affaire L'Rove that just erodes the credibility and "likability" of this regime.

Expect Nixonian 30s if there's indictments handed down and this invasion slogs on.

But don't expect the wingnuts to turn tail and run. A caged tiger is the most dangerous.

[Rose Siding]

7. Very true

"A caged tiger is the most dangerous"

Still, as the numbers drop it becomes easier to respect the public at large.

[IntravenousDemilo]

23. Not if you're outside the cage. nm

[Initech]

8. Approval rating keeps on slipping!

Recall Bush! Recall Bush! Recall Bush!

[proud patriot]

9. I got your political capital right here

:evilgrin:

[samsingh]

10. they support the judges?

strange.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Must Be The Tyranny Of The Judiciary!

See, they've brainwashed everyone by legislating from the bench! Kidding, of course. At least a plurality is recognizing the JOB of the judiciary is to prevent legislative and executive excess.

The Professor

[donkeyotay]

12. Lowest rating ever for the Worst President Ever

I guess this Popular Wartime President spent all his political capital on his mandate.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Guess he did

[stevietheman]

57. His mandate Gannon must really love the bling-bling & expensive eats! n/t

n/t

[FreedomAngel82]

13. Well I guess that goes to show

he doesn't have political capital or a mandate. :eyes:

[jdadd]

37. The only Man Date

This guy can get,Is Jeff Gannon :puke:

[newyawker99]

77. Hi jdadd!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Johonny]

16. Seems odd

That people seem to dislike his job let seem uninterested in his SC pick.

[lady lib]

18. I posted this same poll earlier and it got 1 response.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=1961363&mesg_id=1961363

[MidwestTransplant]

19. Your headline wasn't sensational enough!

[lady lib]

21. Yeah, I think you're right.

The poll covers several topics so I went for a generic headline.
Oh well.

[La Coliniere]

22. Oui Oui! Si Si!

oh, and Yes Yes!

[Catherine Vincent]

24. Brace yourselves!

Remember what it was before September 11th?

[lyonn]

29. Darn Cat-Girl, you just ruined

my rosy glow I was enjoying for a change when you mentioned that aspect! Scares the hell out of me.

With these polls I do wonder how our corrupt media will spin it. Ya gotta know people are beginning to realise that bush has done nothing but screw things up since he took the controls.

[SammyWinstonJack]

71. And the little worm is on his annual vacation.

:hide: :scared:

[Imagevision]

74. Bush before 9-11 was at 43% - 9-11 saved him becuase he sure

knew nothing about leadership! I believe his administration drop the ball bigtime on 9-11 - why else we he insist on redacting 28 pages from the 9-11 report?? and not allow them te be made public until AFTER the election.

[TwentyFive]

25. Why are Republicans so UNPOPULAR right after their elections?

Pisses me off that voters finally 'SEE THE LIGHT' just months after the elections. There are no surprises about anything Bush (or the extremist Congress) has done.


Anti Roe v Wade judges?
Lies about Iraq?
Bankruptcy Bill?
etc. etc.

Why do I get the creepy feeling that voters will say, 'ah, give the GOP another chance' by 2006?

[ClintonTyree]

44. Or was that "light" people are supposedly seeing,,,,,,,,,

the blinding flash of a silicone chip in Diebold's voting machines? Maybe there never WAS a majority for bush, that's as likely as them "seeing the light".

Whatever the reason, I'm glad there's a growing number that see this administration for what it is. A lying, sack of shit, losers.

[ClayZ]

26. Lower and Lower.....DOWN they go!

Louder!







:kick:

[Catfight]

27. That's POLITICAL CAPITAL! Spend away dumbya. nt

[jurassicpork]

30. Polls? Bah!

"You can't legislate accordin' to polls. Why, if major corporations went by poll numbers and demographics, they'd go bankrupt, sorta like I did. Several times."

75. repukes say polls are meaningless when they disapprove of their guy

[Burried News]

31. Wait till 'polees' figure out how Roberts and Warner are agents

of the Whitehouse and that what we have here is Traitorgate not Rovegate. The Neocons have been surfin pretty good but they're runnin out of water.

[Burried News]

36. Have confidence boyz, the fall ain't gonna kill you ...

now I don't know about that sudden stop at the end ...


(Moms Mabley - bless your soul, what you would have done to these bad apples - "this fella pulled out his switchblade, threw the apple up in the air ... sliced it, diced it and cored it with one stroke of the knife"

[long_green]

34. and if they held an election tomorrow...

he would "miraculously" win.

[deadparrot]

38. No man date?

:shrug:

[Burried News]

55. Best graphic of the week.

I have a bad cold - it did wonders for it.

[democratic veteran]

40. Truth Hurts

"Supreme Court Nominee Should Speak Up On Abortion, U.S. Voters Tell Quinnipiac University National Poll; Bush Approval Drops To New Low"

About time they stop treating us all like idiots.

[marmar]

42. Fitting for an illegitimate president...

Unfortunately we're stuck with the bastard. I wish we could collect signatures for a referendum recall on his ass!

:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

[sojourner]

45. hey...you know that the post last week or so about the polls dropping to

"lowest yet"? I looked at the actual page and there were a number of different polls (MSNBC, CNN, etc) listed asking same question. In one case (don't recall actual poll taker), those who approved of the job Bush is doing were BELOW 40%. Looked like the MSM used a cherry picked poll, the one with the HIGHEST approval rate (which is at an all time low no denying) -- just sayin'.

[WI_DEM]

47. if this were the summer of 2006 I'd be pretty excited

but right now I'm just cautiously optimistic that people are picking up. If Bush is at this level or worse next year, Dems can expect to make solid gains in the mid-terms.

[blondeatlast]

65. This gives us a fine opportunity to tie R congress critters to the

pRezident at every opportunity we can.

Exploit the photo-ops, the dinner invites, the hugs and handshakes.

Link them inextricably to Bunnypants and watch them squirm to get away...

[DanCa]

50. It has to be in the mid thirties i t has too.

What more can possibly go wrong?

[Pithy Cherub]

51. bush should speak more about SS,

defending Rove and his WH circus, explain outing covert operatives, fall off another bike and have the rest of the world continue to say " I'm leavin' on the midnight train to Georgia."

It's going swell there republicans, keep it up! :sarcasm:

:popcorn:

[Strelnikov_]

52. If You See A Flash, Duck And Cover

With polls this low, somethings gonna blow.

[sjr5740]

53. if you check pollkatz

http://pollkatz.homestead.com

He hasn't polled above 50% since march and even those at 50% were faux polls



I like the faux outlier in February which has him around 58% what a load of bulls&|t

[EVDebs]

54. Limbo lower now....How low ...can you...go ! Everybody now DU it

Da da dadadatada, tada da dada da tada !

[Rainscents]

58. I believe this poll better than, that stupid NEOCON...

USA/CNN/GALLOP Poll...

I been following this poll for a while and they're very independent.

[autorank]

59. THANK YOU! Guess what the NEXT BIG ISSUE WILL BE

F'ING ELECTION FRAUD THAT'S WHAT.

GET READY TO ROCK AND ROLL, IT'S THE NEXT BIG THING AFTER DSM AND RoveGATE, AND IT'S THE PERFECT EXPLANATION FOR THE PUBLIC THAT NEVER ELECTED BUSH IN THE FIRST PLACE.

61. Better Late Than Never

You have to understand that it takes some people a little longer than others to learn.:dem:

[newyawker99]

78. Hi axe2grind!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[procopia]

62. After seeing polls, his heart drops...

[Catchawave]

63. Cancelling on the boy scouts....

...while they were dropping like flies from oppressive heat after *hours* in the sun, and blaming thunderstorms, which struck much later, isn't going to help his popularity either.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/28/AR2005072800329.html

<snip>
The more than 40,000 Scouts, volunteers, and leaders attending the event had been standing in the sun about three hours when word came that severe thunderstorms and high winds were forcing the president to postpone his appearance until Thursday.
<snip>

IMHO, he cancelled because all of sudden this wasn't the warm and fuzzy photo-op he was hoping for :evilgrin:

[ClassWarrior]

66. Thus proving he's a coward once again.

NGU.

[Kerrytravelers]

67. I'm still amazed that 41% of the people still believe this idiot is:

a.) strong of National security
b.) a "man of faith"
c.) leading the fight on "terror"
d.) taking government out of our personal lives
e.) not letting gays get married and women/couples choose abortion
f.) bringing about "reform" to education
g.) balancing the budget in a responsible way
h.) supportive of our troops
i.) spreading democracy
j.) driving a strong economy to more home ownership and more smaller businesses
k.) strong on the environment
l.) fair in the balance between corporate power and the voice of the people

... and all that other bullshit we've been hearing the past 5 years.

[Spider Jerusalem]

70. It'll go lower.

In the thirties by autumn. Here's hoping those numbers hold through the elections next year; I think that'll be all we need to take back Congress.

[volitionx]

72. Bush is the WORST "president" in U.S. History

He's an absolute abomination of a human being. Maybe people are starting to grow even more weary of his stupid ass and his bogus administration.

If the masses would get their news from REAL news sources, Bush would have approval ratings hovering around 15%. It's only the endless lies of the MSM that keep him as high as a measly 41%.

Some people, naturally, will support him no matter what he does. Like my Rush Limbaugh-loving father, for example. It's the mean-spirited, "in your face", above the law attitude that they like so much. They mistake it for strength, use the war as entertainment, and try to cathartically purge their inner demons by supporting Bush's fascism and cruelty.

Bush and his minions (in and out of the White House) will go down in history just like the Germans who supported Hitler, and I'm not exaggerating. They're all deluded, mean-spirited, fearful little shitbags.

WE LIVE IN A FASCIST COUNTRY. It can happen here, and it DID happen here. I bet Jeb will steal the 2008 election, and we'll be doing this shit for YEARS or DECADES.

[LaPera]

73. Then assume it's in the high thirties.-- At best!

[second edition]

76. Still not as low as he deserves! n/t
