How LOW can he go? Wolf announcing Bush Gallup low: 36%

[DeepModem Mom]

Wolf and Bill Schneider on CNN: Scandal, Iraq, Rumsfeld.

[Jack Rabbit]

1. Gee, Wolf Blitzer will report it?

Maybe he has some journalistic credentials after all.

[DeepModem Mom]

2. Candy Crowley even chimed in on Rumsfeld. nt

[Atman]

28. She thought he'd be much better grilled, with garlic butter and potatoes.

Oops. How un PC of me!

:evilgrin:

[NYC]

3. Didn't we hear 36% a week ago?

And wasn't that before _______* hit the fan? I don't even remember what. If it's not one scandal, conflict of interest, or theft, it's another.

So why isn't it lower than 36% if this is a new poll?

*I have a feeling I'm thinking about Libby saying he was authorized to leak.

[WI_DEM]

14. I believe that was another poll

This would be a new low for Gallup.

[NYC]

25. I guess I just think it ought to have shown a

considerable decrease, no matter which poll. You're correct that I was probably thinking of another poll.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

41. Probably because 30-35 percent is close to the lowest he can possibly

go, even if he showed up naked on TV every day, drunk, vomiting, and sodomizing a baby goat. A third of the people would still consider him their hero.

[DeepModem Mom]

20. I edited the headline. I think Bush did hit 36 in the Gallup...

before last, but inched up to 37 in the last. So this 36 is a Gallup low, but not a new low. I think Wolf may have used the phrase "new low," and if so, he was technically not quite correct.

[NYC]

24. Well, it ought to be lower by now.

It ought to be a lot lower. I don't believe it has hardly budged.

[CJCRANE]

48. Meet the New Low, Same as the Old Low.

As each new poll seems to hit the same low that's been reached in other polls it's starting to feel like Groundhog Day...

[flyarm]

4. I DO NOT FOR A MOMENT BELIEVE HE IS THAT HIGH!!

and the worst part of that..this pres and administration doesn't give a rats ass what people think!!

when do we hit the streets?..we need to hit it hard and constant...just like the immegration protests..we need to shut this damn admin and country down...until we are heard and heard often!

fly

[lonestarnot]

16. Turdy tree and a TURD IS TOO HIGH!

[katty]

37. concur-that's too high-the bushco military junta holds on..&on&on..

[mwb970]

5. 36% seems pretty high, considering all he's done. (n/t)

[turbo_satan]

6. Might this be the last throes of the Bush insurgency?

It seems that the only supporters remaining are a bunch of hardened dead-enders: Christian jihadists and soul-less billionaires.

[nonconformist]

7. I don't know, but mid-30's has always been considered the floor

The die-hards that will still support him even if he were eating babies on live TV.

It will be very interesting - and telling - if he drops much more than this.

[NYC]

26. Do you mean the floor for Bush?

Or the overall floor?

I think Bush has set a new low (even lower than Nixon who got a 20+% approval rating after Watergate), so it ought not be the floor. There ought to be lower poll numbers. Bush has reached the nadir.

[nonconformist]

29. Floor for Bush.

But I'm curious to see if that stands. I personally think that he's probably already in the high-20's and could go as low as the low-20's.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

8. Did Blitzer ask..

..why the White House isn't doing a good enough job of communicating Bush's message to the American people?

Did he also worry about what Bush could do to bring his unfairly low (from Blitzer's perspective) poll numbers back up to where they belong?

[DeepModem Mom]

13. Not at that moment. nt

[infogirl]

9. Bush is in the twenties....

they are fudging these polls, just as all election polls alwasy climb to 49 just in time....for them.

Cheney is at 18....how much higher can Bush actually be?

:shrug:

[fooj]

10. Welcome to DU!

Peace.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

11. Who is fudging these polls?

That's a pretty striking accusation to make. Care to elaborate? Care to explain how a number of polls by reputable polling agencies/organizations all have Bush at around the same approval level (mid-to-high thirties)?

Funny how both freepers and, startlingly, some DU'ers, think the polls are being faked, either too high or too low. Both at the same time! Amazing, huh.

[endarkenment]

19. Gallup actually has a republican polling bias

and that is fairly common knowledge. The Gallup organization is headed by the original Gallup's son, and he is a fundaloon with a major axe to grind. So your op is at least partially correct. The consensus polling numbers are likely to be 2-3 pts lower than what Gallup is reporting.

[Mandate My Ass]

22. Man, who pissed in your cheerios?

Cut a newbie a break. It seems plausible to me and I ain't splaining nothing. Peace. :-)

[SeveneightyWhoa]

35. That's my point.

It isn't plausible. Why use the same "smear the messenger" tactics (against pollsters or the media) that Bushbots use?

[NYC]

27. Welcome to DU.

I agree that his poll numbers ought to be much lower.

[bigwillq]

40. Hello!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Warren DeMontague]

12. Was there a wet stain on the front of Leslie's pant crotch?

The fucking worthless toadie.

[Justice Is Comin]

15. It's over.

[Hubert Flottz]

17. The Nukkkleer Cowboy Gallups into the sunsuit.

Don't Repent, Retire, George, you evil ape. Poor little Wolfgang Blitzer, I'm sure it pains him, to have to let the bad news fall where it may. I think CNN uses the same kind of a blitzering agent, that Baghdad Bob once used to boost saddams numbers up into the 90% range. Baghdad Blitzer is trying to put the prettiest face on the pig, but the pig still smells like the pig!

[opihimoimoi]

31. They will never get that PIG to smell right..it will always stink to the

Highest Heaven..and that goes for the PUBs too...they will forever smell of 6 day old fish and pig shit

[Hubert Flottz]

42. "they will forever smell of 6 day old fish and pig shit"

And that's on their better days!

Goatshit Or Pigshit = GOP...trickle down shit a-plenty for the have nots, called we the people. The stick has nothing, but endless shitty ends, that the GOP wields now in Washington. Bush's SHIT is ABSOLUTE! The shitty end of the stick is the best the GOP has to offer our country. Bush "Values" the Families in China and India more than he values the families in the US. The only family bush REALLY, values, IS the Bush Family.

[Hubert Flottz]

43. BTW...

Lower than a snake's belly, in a wagon rut, is where cowboy dumbya's poll numbers are headed. He could only do well now if the pollsters did a poll on pole cats, cause he is the mother of all pole cats. Dat's the Schmell they can't duck and cover up...

[opihimoimoi]

44. Low?? Ya wanna go LOW? Nuthins lower than Whale Shit

Them guys are that low...

Nothing but photo ops and Excuses... I guess thats their brand of leadership....

Ain't no way that dude would lead us outta the woods, dats fer sure...

[Hubert Flottz]

45. That's the Chimp leading the blind...

The GOP is blind to anything but the cheerleading going on in the oval orifices of power, in Washington. The GOPers gots lots of cheerleaders, but no Quarterback...Just a half ass is all they can trot out. Their King,(leader),(Fuhrer),(pResident),is the prince of pricks and the Jet Set petrol banker's version of Moses Dillinger. America has never seen a super zero, the magnitude of our holder of the atomic football in Chief...

Drilled is how we should all feel, every time we pull into the gas pumps. Drilled in the ass pocket, "in a time of war!" I think the terrorists have taken over our gas stations and Bush didn't even fire a shot, or an unkind word, in America's defense. He's letting the Saudis and the Exxons rape, pillage, and plunder, the free world, at will. The man is trying very hard to bankrupt America and cause further and even worse calamity to befall the country. The man is not the enemy of the state, but the state seems to be the enemy of the man.

The man has never really grown up and he is just been "leading" us into one disaster after another, with the help of the ENTIRE GOP... They SELECTED him... They Even Cheated To Get Him The Job...They have marched in Lock Step with him...They have helped him and the terrorists drag the country down into the dirt...and now they will beg for the voters to be kind and vote for them. The GOP has shit in 99% of the Easter baskets in America and the world, "won't you help them" continue to screw you some more?

BLIND FAITH, ain't ever, gonna' get it done...

[opihimoimoi]

47. The Flottz just said a mouthfull of TRUE WORDS...someday soon

the WORLD will get it and History will see Bush hit with truck loads of Pig shit

[Hubert Flottz]

49. Pigshit is too good for those GOPer destroyrers of worlds...

Raw, Unvarnished, Reality, awaits them some day, one can only hope...

I hope in the not too distant future, that times get so hard on the GOPers, that pigshit seems like a party favor, to the likes of America's home grown tormentors in Washington.

If we stick with Bill Frist and his ilk in 2008, we just might find ouselves used as some kind of test dummies, in the pResident Doktor's Viagra improvement program/expiriments, in about 2013 or so, in a halliburton built civilian Detainment Camp in the woods, down near Bumfuk Tenn.

[Virginia Dare]

18. He's still got some wiggle room...

I'm thinking he'll bottom out at about 28% or 29%, and I concluded this November of last year.

[stanwyck]

30. I agree. He's going to sink lower than Nixon

and drag the GOP down with him.
I kinda like the guy for that.

[Flubadubya]

21. For those who think this is not low enough...

I certainly agree... I think he ought to be in the low teens, at least. However, I don't know about this new Gallup poll, but in several of the others that have him in the mid thirties, there was also a subset of the poll wherein those who STRONGLY disapproved of his performance was as high as 47% or so. Now that is pretty serious stuff.

You either love him or you hate him... I'm just glad there are now more of the latter than the former. Hah! :evilgrin:

[catmandu57]

34. I believe that's exactly what's going on

It's not so much the poll numbers, but the numbers either for or against are hardening,

[MoonRiver]

23. Do the * limbo!

Get down!! :evilgrin:

[cassiepriam]

32. Seems like it has been 36% for months now.

Guess Rove must have paid CNN a lot of bucks to report
nothing below that number.

[spanone]

33. I heard it was 32%.....I'll be back.

[helderheid]

36. 36 is too high. Don't believe it.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

38. Okay. What do you believe it is?

I'll insert myself in my own little fantasy world now, and say that Bush's poll numbers are... 11 percent? Is that still too high?

[helderheid]

39. I'm guessing the 20s but I like your numbers better. :)

[SoCalDem]

46. He's our Limbo President
