6. wasnt it his approval for Iraq that was down to 36% ?

11. Thanks for the link!

Holy sh*t! How did I miss that? :bounce:

Wait... his approval has actually gone UP? :banghead:

[Arugula Latte]

14. No -- two different polls. You can't compare them and say his rating

has gone up. You have to compare an AP poll against an AP poll and an ARG poll against an ARG poll, etc..

[jsamuel]

16. right, they both mark the lowest point for Bush in each poll

[speedoo]

7. He can go lower.

His base is maybe 15-20%, and they won't desert him unless things get a lot worse, which is certainly possible.

The other 20% or so that still "approves" is probably very uninformed. As these folks gradually wake up, his approval will drift into the low 30's / high 20's.

8. I believe the thirty six but I am in a blue state.

Why oh why isn't it much lower by now?

[warrens]

12. It can't go lower than 30 or so

There's 20 percent who would consider themselves honored if the Giggling Murderer raped their toddlers live on TV, and another 10 percent who love the president no matter who or what he is. 36 percent is pretty damn putrid.

The problem is, a lot of these people who disapprove would still hold their noses and vote for him because he's a repuke.

[HarveyBrooks]

10. Why the hell...

could'nt these people see what a friken incompetent bastard he is BEFORE the election!?!?!?!?

The next Democratic president is going to have one hell of a mess to clean up.

[Rose Siding]

13. kick

[Beelzebud]

15. I never thought we would have a president that made Nixon look good...

Now to get the brainwashed masses of the senate/congress to impeach this disaster of a presidency.
