New 50 state Bush approval poll just released (champagne anyone?).

[bluestateguy]

The national weighted average is 36%. Bush lost a lot of ground in the red states.

To sum it up:

The high for Bush is 55% in Utah (Sieg Heil!)
The low for Bush is a tie between New Jersey and Massachusetts at 26%
Texas comes in at 41% approval.
Bush is below 50% in 10 out of 11 southern states, and below 40% in 5 southern states.

1. Damn - can we have a revote?

If it were now Nov 2004 Kerry would win in a landslide.

[ronnykmarshall]

6. Could you imagine?

Bush only winning four states?

[hughee99]

9. I can't imagine * running for anything again...

Let's pop the champaign if these results translate into gains in 06'

[demosincebirth]

46. He could run for governor of Texas and probably get elected.

[MissWaverly]

11. If paper ballots were used Yes, with Diebold, No

[Deja Q]

2. No booze for me. There's precious little to celebrate.

So, as Gray Davis got down to ~30% before he was ousted (dunno the exact figure, but it was low)... how about Bush?

[jedicord]

3. 41% Bush approval in Texas!

Woo Hoo! Maybe soon I can borrow your screen name!

:bounce:

[bluestateguy]

10. I've lived in Texas for 8 years

And I live in the island community of Travis County (56%-42% for Kerry in 2004). It's like living in Hong Kong when the city was not under Chinese control, or living in West Berlin during the cold war, or Switzerland when the Nazis controlled most of Europe.

[jedicord]

21. I know exactly what you're saying. Me, on the other hand,

live north of Houston near The Woodlands. The Bush lovin' capital of the world.

That's why I drink.:beer:

[Jamastiene]

50. I live in an area full of Bush lovers too.

It's disgusting. Sometimes I feel as if I am surrounded by that 30 some odd percent of people who support him. Those people practically worhsip him too. It's disgusting. :puke:

[Lefty48197]

4. I tried to tell them all they were morons for voting for him in the first

place. I don't take particular glee in being right, after all these people are fucking up my country and the world because of how those dumb asses voted. Don't like Bush? Then why in the hell did you vote for him?

[Oceansaway]

5. Touche !!..n/t

[Reader Rabbit]

7. What the hell...

...are those people smoking in the seven states where this asshole's approval went UP????

And damn, why can't they share with the rest of us?

[leveymg]

8. Salt Lake City and Casper welcome you.

Everywhere else is Indian country. Better move along there, li'l Shrub, I hear the war drums.

We'll help you pack.

B-)

[MadMaddie]

17. Yes we will help you and your cabal pack for your inevitable trip

to the Hague or Guantanamo!!!

You enjoy some of the torture methods you were so enthusiastic about...:spank:

You can also enjoy those fine meals that you served to the prisoners at Guantanamo...if you don't feel like eating you will be provided with your own exclusive feeding tube which will be applied forcefully down your throat....

And after your torture and fine dinner...you can enjoy the lovely slumber faciliites provided for you a 8 by 10 cell with a toilet...if you are lucky you may get a room with a view of a brick wall!!!

And finally you can repeat and enjoy all of the wonderful food, facilities for the rest of your natural life!!!


Enjoy!!!

[Perky]

12. The state by state date is great Drill in

The Gender Gap has also reemergeed.

[Jaydog]

13. Excellent!!!!

People are finally starting to wake up.

[WI_DEM]

14. 55% approval in Utah is awesome--he was over 70% at one time

[bluestateguy]

25. Utah was at 58% last month

Let's give them time. They are inching in the right direction. They'll be the last ones to the party, but they'll get there. I know they will.

http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=df291e5d-4ca7-4463-ae7b-192c0c2cc01c

[WI_DEM]

15. RI no longer Schrubs lowest approval state but MA and NJ tied

at 26%.

[bluestateguy]

20. That will hurt Kean in the NJ Senate race

He was polling well against Menendez, but the Bush albatross around his neck may really hurt him in NJ.

[converted_democrat]

16. I'll drink to that..

:toast:

[grytpype]

18. RI loses its crown as the Most Bush Hating State!

RI at 28% is beaten by NY (27), MA (26), NJ (26)!

Well, RI had the crown for months, it's about time they passed it on...

[Double T]

19. The LDSs need to get in touch with reality............

and make mine a double!!

[liberal_patriot_md]

30. Not all LDS out of touch . . .

Just the ones who have confused prosperity with righteousness and intolerance with morality. I am LDS and can hardly believe some of the things I hear people at church say.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

41. Welcome to DU, libpatMD!

[TahitiNut]

51. The western stakes is a whole 'nother reality.

I enjoyed and respected the neighborly LDS community in western New York (Rochester, near Palmyra) and found the stand-offish, self-elevating attitudes of LDSers in eastern Washington to be very abrasive indeed. As a person with a deep, non-sectarian faith, I was keenly disappointed with the very insular attitudes.

[grytpype]

22. ONLY 7 STATES have net positive approval for Bush!

1 Utah 55% 42% 13%
2 Wyoming 52% 45% 7%
3 Alabama 51% 46% 5%
4 Idaho 50% 47% 3%
5 Mississippi 49% 47% 2%
5 Nebraska 49% 48% 1%
5 Oklahoma 49% 47% 2%

The other 43 states hate Bush!

Can we say he's unpopular now?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

23. 41% in Texas! Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Can't help but wonder how prez CowPie is doin' down in Crawford.

[gasperc]

62. and that's among republicans

ha ha ha just kidding

you gotta wonder what crap Rove is conjuring up to try and win back 20 or 15 points

[melody]

24. The next person who says Bush's base = the south is gonna get this email

1 Utah 55%
2 Wyoming 52%
4 Idaho 50%

(Only two southern states in the top 5)

13 Georgia 43%
14 South Carolina 42%
16 North Carolina 41%
16 Texas 41%
19 Kentucky 39%
19 Tennessee 39%
19 Virginia 39%
19 West Virginia 39%
26 Florida 37%
31 Missouri 36%
37 Arkansas 34%

[bluestateguy]

28. A Dem. like Warner could win all of those states in the current climate

Still, I dont see any of those states voting for Hillary, save for Florida.

I'm giving Warner a real serious look right now.

[melody]

31. Hillary has no chance anyway

I'm a staunch feminist and I would LOVE to see a female President in my lifetime, but I despair of that ever happening, no matter the location of the constituents.

[jedr]

43. yep!!!!

:toast: Warner/ Edwards ????????

[deadparrot]

26. I'd call that a mandate.

:D

[Reader Rabbit]

27. Use this data in your pro-censure phone calls!

Maybe these numbers will encourage some of the fence-sitters to grow a spine!

[nascar55]

29. guess

he has used up his political capital......:beer:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

32. CNN's Blitzer JUST NOW announced 33 %.

Lou Dobbs says, "These are Nixonian numbers."

[Arugula Latte]

53. Was Wolfie blubbering into his beard when he reported that?

[nonconformist]

33. 39% in Kentucky! Most excellent. nt

[nascar55]

34. Yessss

34% OHIO.....yepper:applause:

[SammyWinstonJack]

35. Guess Texas isn't "bush country" anymore.

:rofl:

[bluestateguy]

39. Texan's don't like wussies

Of course, WE knew all along that that was what Bush was. He just cloaked it really well. Now the cloak is off, and Texas is starting to see the light.

[SammyWinstonJack]

45. Yes we knew and tried to warn the rest of the Country, but to no avail.

Personally, I think he cheated in Texas too. My husband and I voted two weeks early and we stood in line for about an hour. Those people in line weren't there to vote for Pinhead** that early in the game, what with Texas guaranteed too go to Pinhead**. I think Bexar county went 67% for him, yeah right! :eyes:

[usregimechange]

Ouch, look at Ohio! 64 disapprove, 34 approve!

[SammyWinstonJack]

40. One year out and we're too believe that Pinhead** actually won the

'04 election? Right! :eyes:

[heirs_of_liberty]

42. Gee, you'd think somethings just scared the doomsdays outta 'em? :P

[SammyWinstonJack]

48. LOL!

:evilgrin:

[sandnsea]

49. Arkansas is the same!

Time to hammer Pryor and Lincoln, they've got NO excuse for Bush butt kissing anymore.

[heirs_of_liberty]

36. AND now they're rumored to be shuffling deck chairs!!!

[Swamp Rat]

37. The numbers will continue to go down

I don't think another terrorist attack against the USA will help either.

STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT!!!

SUPPORT FEINGOLD!!!

:patriot:

[rniel]

38. Idaho at 50%

That's freaking unbelievable.

[UrbScotty]

44. Not much fun for Michigan Republicans

Mr. Popularity is having a rough go of it in Michigan. In addition to a 33% approval rating nationally, SurveyUSA reports that Dubya is down to 30% in the Great Lakes State.

Specifically, Bush - who lost Michigan in both 2000 and 2004 - is supported by:

* One in four people ages 18-24;
* One in three whites;
* Barely a majority of conservatives;
* Less than two in five people who regularly attend church;
* Less than half of 'pro-lifers';
* About one in three people in the Grand Rapids area, gubernatorial candidate and Outsourcer-in-Chief Dick DeVos's back yard.

Couple that with Legislative Republicans' election-year flip-flop on the minimum wage in the face of 74% opposition, and its gonna be hard for DeVos to buy his way into the governorship.

[Catshrink]

47. Lou Dobbs called them "Nixonian Levels"

[unblock]

52. maybe even trumanesque levels....

[RagingInMiami]

54. 28 percent approval rating in Southeast Florida!

http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=f585e010-0597-4379-b0a8-66677dc19f3b

[Arugula Latte]

55. New Jersey at 26% ? That's great -- and surprising to me.

Until relatively recently, Jersey was considered a bit of a swing state.

[Rainscents]

56. Damn!!!

I WANT RE-VOTE!!!

[fearnobush]

57. Thats right, New Fuckin' Jersey hates Bush most.

Don't you freakin' Freeper fuckers get it, NJ - half of the people who died in 911 are from NJ and we hate your fuckin' pig God Incompetent resident of 1600 PA Ave. Why do the victims hate the 911 president so much? Because we know it, we were there and your pig God Bush did nothing to stop it. They you fuckers want to sell Port Newark to the terrorists - FUCK YOU. We will fight you until hell freezes over.

[madmunchie]

58. Please Please Please, can we see single digit numbers in favor of Bush

while I am still living and breathing?

[Tiggeroshii]

59. What is WITH Utah?n/t

[populistdriven]

60. More proof of Fixed Ohio Election or Coincidence?

Either way the last two Presidential elections stunk worse a HS locker room

Ohio is the lowest ranked "Red" state

Ohio Bush 34%

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

61. There's no champagne until the House, Senate, and/or WH are no longer R.

As long as they hold all these, no champagne...

[gristy]

63. Criminy! Just 4 states 50% or higher, and UTAH is at 55%!!!

UTAH AT 55% APPROVAL!!!

Let me just look at that for a moment... Utah is clearly well on its way to a sub-50% approval rating for the shrub. Never, ever would I have guessed that could happen in a million years. That is just too amazing. Friggin Utah.

Did I say that was amazing?

[stevietheman]

64. I'm happy for Kentucky (my state) -- just dipped below 40%!!!

For the first time!! Yippee!!!

[mb7588a]

65. So, Senate Dems, why not support censure?

EVERY FUCKING ONE of your states is below 50.

In fact, you have to go to state #5, and Ben Nelson, to find a Dem. Senator. After that you hit Montana (Max Baucus) and North Dakota (Dorgan and Conrad) at number 9!!!!

Among the states Kerry won, so-called blue states, Bush is MOST POPULAR IN FEINGOLD'S HOME STATE. NOTHING TO LOSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, Dems. SCREAM.

Fucking spineless. Sick of it.
