CALIFORNIANS INCREASINGLY
NEGATIVE ABOUT BUSH, THE
CONGRESS AND THE
DIRECTION OF THE U.S.

by Mark DiCamillo and Mervin Field

Californians are taking an increasingly negative view of the job performance of the President, the Congress and the direction of the U.S.
California voters’ job appraisal of President George W. Bush has reached a new low, with nearly
two in three (62%) disapprove of the job he is doing as the country’s chief executive, while just
one in three (32%) approve. In the sixth year of his tenure, these are the poorest ratings that Bush has ever received from this state’s voters, and are among the lowest ever given to a sitting
President in California. Californians’ views of the U.S. Congress have also turned decidedly negative, with 66% disapproving and 24% approving. This represents a significant decline in Congressional job performance over the past two years.

Voters also have a very dismal opinion as to the overall direction of the country – 64% believe the U.S. is seriously off on the wrong track and just 26% see it going in the right direction. This is the poorest assessment that Californians have given of the country’s direction since 1992.

1. These days I laugh when I read letters to the editor supporting Bush in

the Bakersfield "Californian." They seem so pathetic. The way some people have to hang on to the lies and bullshit is really something. I think you have to force yourself to not see the truth. There are some freeper types here in CA who will live in denial for the rest of their lives. They still say Bush was elected in 2000, God chose him, Saddam was responsible for 9/11, Saddam had WMDs, Democrats are communists and on and on. I saw one of those letters over the weekend. Poor dumb bastards.
