Watch the Republicans start to panic if Bush hits the 30's

[quinnox]

Can't wait, fingers crossed that Bush's numbers will continue to sink until even Gallup has his approval in the 30 percentile range. And then the fun will begin. The republicans in congress will start to panic big time, mass defections, and refusal to go along with the idiot W anymore for fear of losing their cushy jobs in Congress.

1. what's the lowest

that a president has ever gotten to?

[VADem11]

2. I think Truman hit 22%

and that was the lowest ever.

[Rick Myers]

3. I recall Truman as lowest, but do not recall the number

22 maybe be right...

[Son of California]

4. WOW, What the Hell did Truman do to achieve that?

Maybe I'm showing a lack of historical perspective, but I can't think of anything that bad that went down during Truman's presidency to get such terrible numbers.

5. I'm guessing: Korea, MacArthur, something in that arena?

[Melodybe]

6. When it goes under 40% then I'm throwing a party!

Seriously the moment it goes to 39% there will be party with booze.

[catmandu57]

7. It's already there

These are the prop up numbers, the actuals if they were to be revealed would cause great agony, wailing, and gnashing of teeth amongst our obtuse brethern.

8. Nixon Got Down to 22-24% before he Resigned

[Catholic Sensation]

12. does anyone have number for Harding

around the time the teapot dome scandal broke?

[Taxloss]

18. Opinion polling didn't really exist then.

The infrastructure wasn't there.

[mwb970]

24. Opinion polling doesn't really exist now.

Even with the infrastructure.

[Alexander]

19. The numbers for Harding are not what you think.

First of all, there was no Gallup or Zogby running around calling people for approval/disapproval ratings in the 1920s.

Second, by the time Teapot Dome broke, he was already in the grave.

9. if the DEMS were a true opposition party that might be the case but

the majority of democrats are apologist accomplices, therefore no threat, so no need to panic no matter how low bush's numbers go.

there's always feinstein to buck up the bushistas.

PS - the role of the opposition is to OPPOSE.

[deadparrot]

10. I don't think it will ever get to that point.

Oh, believe me, if it does, I'll be the first to admit I'm wrong and throw a party.

But I don't think the powers that be in the administration will let things get so bad that they'll drop below 40%. They'll pull something out of their hats.

[smirkymonkey]

15. Yeah, like another "terra" attack on a liberal U.S. city.

Ratings in the toilet, Monkey Boy is down on the "Ranch" and September is coming - deja vu anyone?

[zbdent]

11. Hope that the Repukes' faux spurs get caught in

W's coat-tails . . .

[gratuitous]

13. Some of them are already cracking

Frist has flip-flopped on stem cell research, Santorum suddenly can't make up his mind on issues, Novak popped his cork on national TV. W. is down on his raunch hiding out, hoping that it'll all blow over, or that Daddy will come in again and fix everything.

[wli]

14. the numbers are fake, he's in the 30's or lower already

[DemGirl7]

16. They will probably run around like chickens with their heads cut off

and it will be really funny to watch.

[bobbieinok]

17. it could hit 10% and we'd never know....Gore won, but media didn't run

the story

eery thing happened during the 2000 campaign......nearly every day I was reading and posting on Malloy's message board .....

there were a lot of complaints about the media not covering Gore accurately etc......one of the regular posters, kidding around (he thought), said after seeing media coverage in the campaign, what if Gore wins and we're never told

and we all know that's exactly what happened

[stepnw1f]

20. If They Haven't Yet...

they are numb to reality. Awwww man!!!!!:-(

[nebula]

21. His approval rating on Iraq is well below 40

...and I predict a sub-40 per cent freefall in chimp's approval ratings as soon as price of gas hits 3 bucks a gallon, which at this rate won't be long from now.

[European Socialist]

22. How about the 20's

Then the Dem's might find their spines.

[DanCa]

23. I think he's already in the mid thirties

And the polls are just lying about it.
