Didn't want anyone to miss this - compliments of Fly by Night

Facinating !! Especially Texas !!!

ON EDIT : THIS IS GREAT NEWS ! SURVEY BEFORE THE PLAME FIASCO !

[Walt Starr]

1. Illinois at 56% disapproval

We don't like his ass here.

[samsingh]

4. taking any chances with CIA operatives is treacherous

[quaway]

2. NJ at 58%

:)

[atommom]

3. Dammit, now I'm REALLY depressed.

In Kansas, his approval rating is actually UP by 2. :banghead:

[Zen Democrat]

10. What's the matter with Kansas?????

[MoonRiver]

21. I'm hoping KS may be turning somewhat.

I read a poll on DU, yesterday, that put Sebelius' approval at about 75%, I THINK. Anyway it was very high. That translates to lots of Repubs are giving her high marks. Please, let Brownback be the next to fall.

[atommom]

42. Sigh. We are trying to turn things around. The conservatives

may have made some enemies this year with their shenanigans. Sebelius, who has frequently spoken out against the conservatives, is very popular. That suggests to me that many Kansans really don't want to go all the way down Wingnut Road. We'll see.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. I noticed that about Alabama too -- Maybe it's the loyalty factor

When your favorite is down you support him more ??

[katinmn]

63. The surveys were done June 11. Before the latest revelations

NGU.

[ailsagirl]

73. self-delete

[BrklynLiberal]

5. NY's disapproval went from 60% to 62%

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. I would love to see NYC -- could be up to 100% or 99.99 for the Mayor

[BrklynLiberal]

20. I wish it was. I just heard this AM that one of the Union District

Councils is endorsing Bloomberg. Talk about making a deal with the devil! They do not even know who the Dems are going to run against him, and they are already endorsing Bloomberg! Talk about betrayal!!!!!
I hope the membership does not buy into this crap.

[quispquake]

6. Maine at 57%

And only 39% approve...

:)

[adarling]

7. yes texas is having a hard time right now

our property taxes are the highest in the nation and it keeps going up right now. The whole system is a mess. He hasn't been liked since he left the governorship. Like i tell all the repukes around here, he left us in shambles and it is still bad here. Perry's approval rating is sitting around 36%, and i was surprised to see kerry have a pretty good percentage of the vote down there.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. Wow. Texas really has the highest? Higher than New England

where they pump it in the the school systems? Interesting.

[adarling]

12. yep, last figures i saw

except we pump ours into the big oil and enron corps as well as raytheon and everyother big corporation. I hate Rick Perry:puke: :wtf:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

[ooglymoogly]

39. something wrong here...nh comes in third at $1,703...on this pug site

[emdee]

8. Tennessee - Disapprove went from 47% to 49%!! n/t

n/t

[Katidid]

13. Great on Texas polls ....

True BLUE Texas - asleep but still breathing - watch out and get out of the way when she wakes up!

Thanks for the post.

[XemaSab]

15. California at 58%

disapprove!

[MoonRiver]

16. Idiot KS * approval has gone up 2. Still, it's only at 49%!

:wow:

[iamjoy]

17. Vermont Dissaproves The Most

65%
Utah approves the most - 63%
(I know it is the number of people disapprove/approve)

[Pacifist Patriot]

18. Approval went up in Florida? No way!

[ChiciB1]

92. I Just Checked That To!

But as i said, it's Florida! You'll NEVER get the TRUTH from here!!!

I live in the Trifecta County! But even here, with ALL my bumper stickers still on my car, I have yet to have ONE removed OR get hassled! I don't know if I scare them with my evil look, or if they just are too stupid to confront me!! I HAVE a lot of them on my car, it could be actual fear of me!

Maybe they think they shouldn't mess with someone who is still so confrontational! I do have one that says... "The More You Disapprove, The More Fun It Is For ME!

25. CT rings in at....

58% disapproval
37% approval

[abbiehoff]

30. Notice that Ohio is at 57% disapproval.

I don't believe * won Ohio, and this is pretty good evidence of that. If you look at the red states that are 50% or more disapproval, I think you'll find that most of them had serious problems/questions with the election last November.

[Broken Acorn]

31. Agreed

The more evidence and data comes out regarding the '04 Election, the clearer it becomes that certain states went to * electronically, but not legitimately.

I have no doubt Rove was the mastermind behind 'fixing' the election around the results.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

64. too bad we can't have a Fitzergald to look into election fraud ! n/t

[CTLawGuy]

82. you know it is possible that people could just dislike both Bush and Kerry

I dont think that helps to prove Kerry really won the election.

My contention was that people didn't like Bush, but weren't comfortable with Kerry as a replacement.

Bush is the devil they know and they reluctantly stuck with him.

[bunny planet]

22. NJ 58% disapproval. Go Joisey.

[rniel]

23. Idaho is 56% Approved

They are freebasing the KoolAid down here man.

[Broken Acorn]

26. Idaho is another Mormon fundamentalist hotbed.

Check out Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer if you want to find out what's really going on in Utah, Idaho, parts of Northern Arizona and other Western outposts these days.

[oxbow]

35. Utah is where Karl Rove is from

go figure

[ultraist]

24. 50% DISapproval rate in my state of NC!

I hope this tempers the South bashing. Not ALL Southerners are Bush supporters. ;)

[kid a]

28. Montana at 43% Disapproval

[Totally Committed]

29. Massachusetts is at 61% Disapproval...

not from all the "W" stickers on bumpers in my neck of the woods, but maybe the 35% approvers all live near me!

TC

[TayTay]

47. I hear ya

I had about 45% KErry stickers here and the rest were for *. But 61% disapproval is heartening.

[CTLawGuy]

84. from what I gather

MA pugs are pretty loud and obnoxious.

I guess it's a defense mechanism.

[K8-EEE]

32. 58% disapproval here in CA

Probably more like 90% in L.A.!!

[RebelOne]

33. I am amazed. It is tied 48% to 48% here in Georgia

I thought that the approval rate would be much higher.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

44. me too. like approval in Alabama grew - rallying around chimp.

[Goldeneye]

34. WI: 54% disapprove, 42% approve.

HA HA!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

36. CO at 52%. I think that may be where we were during the election,

but, our machines didn't reflect that. MKJ

[supernova]

37. NC hovering right at 50%

as of June 06. Cool.

[underpants]

38. Idaho, Nebraska, Wyoming, Oklahoma clearly W's whoopin ground

Good luck with that there W

[MN ChimpH8R]

40. MN at 54% disapproval

:woohoo: Let's get it up to 60%!

[thinkingwoman]

41. OMG did you see Indiana??

He's at even money in a state that hasn't gone blue in my lifetime (I'm 39)!!!

Earth may be warming but Hell has indeed frozen over.

[AwakeAtLast]

46. I noticed that, too.

I said before the election that if the Democratic party had tried hard enough here, that IN could have gone blue. This state is not a lost cause, and Daniels is turning people around, too. I am not sure he will be reelected, thank goodness! :hi:

[thinkingwoman]

60. Although it's early

I think you may be right about Daniels. I hope so. Now if the Indiana Democrats would just run somebody for governor that people could get excited about...sigh.

[AwakeAtLast]

65. Double sigh.

;)

[Voltaire]

81. Speaking as a State Employee

He won't be getting many votes from re-election from us, unless its the folks he brought with him. The ruination of this state is only beginning.

[TwilightZone]

43. Oh, great. 60% APPROVAL here. UP from last month.

Fv^#ing ignorant Nebraskans. Geez.

[Arugula Latte]

69. Oh christ.

That is pathetic.

They're like abuse victims who come to expect their abuse and don't know anything different.

[WLKjr]

45. Ohio=%57 DISAPPROVE

[AwakeAtLast]

48. Holy crap! Look at Iowa!

It is same as IL - 39% / 56% and it went for Bush in the election. That is the biggest change I noticed. Amazing.

[Lochloosa]

49. FL @ 50% dis...I am shocked...

it should be 60% IMO :shrug:

[whistle]

50. In Florida....

23 Florida Bush 41% 53% 46% 50% -12% -4%

[OKNancy]

51. Oklahoma - the biggest negative jump of any

-7% approval at 49%

That makes me feel a little better.

[Stand and Fight]

56. Me too!

I mean since I live here and all! Some of the right-wingers I work with even agree that if Bush knew about Rove's actions, it is impeachable!

[proud patriot]

87. I noticed that , Way to kick republican ass in OK Nancy

:hug:

[Clark2008]

52. Wow! I'm impressed

In Tennessee, 48 percent disapprove in total, but the telling numbers are that 60 percent of moderate independents disapprove and 50 percent of the people in traditionally-Republican East Tennessee (where I live) disapprove of Bush.

I love it!!

[Stand and Fight]

53. Nevada and Washington rock!!! Then there's ... Oklahoma.

I'm a native of Las Vegas, NV -- born and raised.
Currently I live in Oklahoma.
My wife is from Washington state.
I'm happy to report that the three states that I consider home -- some less than others -- have all shown a decrease in approval ratings:

State_____A- May___D- May______A- Jun___D- Jun______Change A-___Change D-
Nevada_______39%______56%__________38%_____57%____________-1%__________+1%
Oklahoma_____56%______39%__________49%_____47%____________-7%__________+8%
Washington___42%______52%__________41%_____57%____________-1%__________+5%

:bounce:

Whereas, A stands for "approval" and D stands for "disapproval."

[Laura PourMeADrink]

61. Quite a swing in OK! How much did B* cheat by ??

[Stand and Fight]

72. He would have won anyway...

However, I do think that it was his sure win states -- like Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska, Idaho, etc -- that they padded the vote. That is, they added more votes so that he would easily reach his 3 million vote lead whilst they cheated outright in Ohio, Florida...

[LeftNYC]

54. Look at Ohio

57% disapproval...interesting...

[RetroLounge]

55. Wisconsin = 57%

WHoo hoo!

RL

[DianeK]

57. once again i am given yet another reason to be..

a very proud 6th generation Vermonter!

[Az_lefty]

58. Ohio...57% disapproval and he supposedly won that state...

[tk2kewl]

59. MY STATE IS THIRD - 62% DISAPPROVE

:woohoo:

[katinmn]

62. Minnesota: 54% disapprove (5% more than a month prior)

23 Minnesota 47% 49% 43% 54% -4% +5%

Seems low for a blue state. I think it must be higher.

[infinitehangover]

66. Washington 57 disaproves...

[Arugula Latte]

67. Welcome to DU!

:hi: :toast:

[infinitehangover]

70. Thanks.

Just went to Portland for my first time -beyond getting gas - feckin' loved. Grand town. Really helped me transcend that whole Sea-PDX battle. Cheers!

[Arugula Latte]

71. Glad to hear it!

I don't think people here take the so-called rivalry too seriously. We're too mellowed out, man. ;)

[infinitehangover]

74. "Mellow doesn't begin to describe it"

While I was down there my buddy pointed out that everyone drives like they're stoned (if you know what I you know what I mean) I felt perfectfully safe as a pedesterian - mainly cuz everyone stops 10 yards before they need to and no one seems to drive over about 25mph - but it made me laugh way too much watching the drivers there. No offense.

[Arugula Latte]

78. Yeah, it's amusing.

If you put on your turn signal, a good portion of people will slow and wave you into the lane. Of course, there are exceptions, usually SUV drivers with "W" stickers.

[infinitehangover]

80. Those "w04" stickers aren't helping anyone.

I'm wondering if the glue on thsoe are really strong, cuz it seems to me they're gonna get gradually more embrassing (Not nearly like LaRouche) as things fall more and more apart. But really you gotta start being nice to those people. I'm really getting sick of townhill.com peeps whining about their SUVs getting cut off by hippie VW bugs. Its rampant!

[Arugula Latte]

68. I'm a little disappointed in Oregon.

55 % disapprove and 42 % approve. I want disapproval over 60 %, dammit!

[Contrary1]

75. Indiana at 48%

Shrub's approval rate is below 50% in 38 out of the 50 states.
It's a good day!

[deadparrot]

76. 52% disapproval in Missouri.

Only 43% approve. :)

[NYdemocrat089]

77. New York only has 33% approval!!!

:party:

[byronius]

79. California! Represent!

[Hippo_Tron]

83. Here's the funny thing, Bush is doing better than Ahnuld in Kullifohnia

I think Bush has a 37% approval there, Ahnuld has a 36%.

[Iris]

85. His highest approval ratings are in Utah. Go figure.

[cyn2]

86. Maine at 57% disapproval! eom

[struggle4progress]

88. These numbers STRONGLY suggests he stole 2004.

It's very unlikely that anybody who voted for him wouldn't be giving him a bit of leeway right now ...

[Lone_Star_Dem]

89. Our disapproval rate rose 4% in the past month!

That makes my heart so happy. :)

[CelticWinter]

90. lol too funny

PA at 54% and VT at 64%.....wonder if his ears are burning yet?

[ChiciB1]

91. Looks Like Florida Is FLUNKING!

But then, this is FLORIDA!!!

[Endangered Specie]

93. North Carolina +45% -50%

yay!

[calimary]

94. California isn't fooled - 37 to 58 DISAPPROVE.

And that disapproval figure is up by 4 points from May to June. Approval figure dropped in that time, by two points.

He wouldn't even win us over if he offered to resign tomorrow.
