"WASHINGTON -
President Bush's job approval has dipped below 40 percent for the first time in the AP-Ipsos poll, reflecting widespread doubts about his handling of gasoline prices and the response to Hurricane Katrina.

Nearly four years after Bush's job approval soared into the 80s after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, Bush was at 39 percent job approval in an AP-Ipsos poll taken this week. That's the lowest since the the poll was started in December 2003.

The public's view of the nation's direction has grown increasingly negative as well, with nearly two-thirds now saying the country is heading down the wrong track"


Damn!!!! Maybe he ShOULD become a cowboy or Spaceman, cause the Prez thing ain't working out...

9. Wow, really? That's great Nadinbrzezinski. That's good right?

What does it mean exactly?

BTW Nice to see you. :hi:

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. that means tha we may see him

even lower than Nixon when he leaves, he is loosing his ability to lead, fast. He is also becoming a liabity to the GOP

[texpatriot2004]

15. The way I see it he's a political leper now and they have to

ask themselves if they feel immune? My guess is that he will be thrown to the wolves.

BTW what's the lowest any prez has had ever? Do you know?

3. A spaceman...well, aren't we planning some space exploration?

Like Mars or something? I think NASA is diverting funds from climate/weather research to Mars exploration. That's a viable position for a take charge kind of guy.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. that is a job for Brownie he can clean

horse shit over there... but bush, that is not the CEO kind of work you know

[MissMarple]

7. We could make him in charge of Mars.

...well....perhaps not. Sorry. NASA says no. :shrug:

[Hekate]

6. Spaceman Spiff -- off to the Planet Zog with him!

We always knew W was a space cadet.

10. So, ..Zog it is.

:)

[johnaries]

12. After all, Mars is the RED planet!

That's probably the only reason he wanted to go in the first place!
:evilgrin:

[yorkiemommie1]

8. nothing i'd like better than to see him

on a ONE WAY trip to outer space.

[Mojambo]

11. "Point of no return" land

He's on the mat, here's hoping every Republican in Congress goes down with him.

[fujiyama]

13. 40 is clearly his high at the moment

Just about every poll after Katrina have shown him at or below forty (or within two points of it).

[no_hypocrisy]

16. Sorry for being negative about this, but . . .

It doesn't matter right here and right now if he's not "popular".

He's still in the WH and the Congress is enabling him.

GWB with low ratings reminds me of a holdover tenant who hasn't paid rent for six months, won't leave the house, and you can't evict him right away. Yeah, he's in the wrong. Yeah, he's in trouble. Yeah, you can find someone to agree with you over him. And yeah, maybe you can get a court order to make him go away in the future. BUT HE'S STILL LIVING IN YOUR HOUSE AND HE ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL HE WANTS TO LEAVE OR SOMEONE MAKES HIM GO.

In the meantime, you're paying taxes on a house without income or hope of compensation for late rent, paying utilities and water, maybe he's even trashing the house so it's useless when he does go.

17. Biggest impact will be no coat tails for 06

[terrya]

18. He should have been at this point solely because of Iraq.

Fuck, his ratings should be actually hovering at the upper 20's now.

[Totally Committed]

19. IMO, it should be 0%... n/t

20. "...., cause the Prez thing ain't working out..."

:rofl:

[Pepperbelly]

21. The Right track/Wrong track figures are even worse for him.

65% think we're on the wrong track. Me, I think that 35% are delusional.

[joeprogressive]

22. This is a very important number

It signifies that the luke-warm conservatives have come to their senses and Bush is down to his completely clueless 40% base. We are now seeing the slow erosion of the base. When the base starts jumping ship, the end is near.
