04/20/06 FOX Poll: Gloomy Economic Views; Bush Approval at New Low
Thursday, April 20, 2006

•Bush, GOP Approval Ratings Hit New Lows
NEW YORK — More Americans disapprove than approve of how George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Congress are doing their jobs, while a majority approves of Condoleezza Rice. President Bush’s approval hits a record low of 33 percent this week, clearly damaged by sinking support among Republicans.

Opinions are sharply divided on whether Rumsfeld should resign as secretary of defense. In addition, views on the economy are glum; most Americans rate the current economy negatively, and twice as many say it feels like the economy is getting worse rather than better. These are just some of the findings of the latest FOX News national poll.

1. hehehehe...

lmao.

[Beelzebud]

2. Why didn't these "it getters" get it in 2004?

[katty]

3. must be worse than this if Faux concedes a dismal poll #

[AlCzervik]

4. Since it's a fox poll and gallup deduct another 5 pts. and call it 28%

[WI_DEM]

7. but no other national poll has Bush in the 20's yet either

this is the lowest he is in any national poll at this time--hope for more good news.

[AlCzervik]

11. i have total faith in Bush that he will discover a new low.

[Jack from Charlotte]

28. As we used to say on Wall St... THE TREND IS YOUR FRIEND....

That is, which ever way anything is trending, that's the way you can expect it to continue to go. Or, put another way, ODDS are the next step is in the same direction. Down, in this case. This poll is not just the lowest..... it's also the LATEST. So the trend is just continuing.

Anyone see anything new on the horizon that Will help this AWOL/moron's numbers? No way. More death in Iraq and higher oil prices which is sucking $$$ out of the economy like mad.

[Pirate Smile]

5. Wow, that is really low. I'm waiting for the 20's. Remember the wait

for the 30's? Oh, memories.

[marmar]

6. Some rollercoasters don't drop this fast!

To celebrate, some lyrics from The Specials:

It is you, oh yeah
It is you, oh yeah

I said pressure drop, oh pressure, oh yeah pressures gonna drop on you
I said pressure drop, oh pressure, oh yeah pressures gonna drop on you
I said when you drop, you've gotta feel it, all that you're doing is wrong
I said when you drop, you've gotta feel it, all that you're doing is wrong

It is you, oh yeah
It is you, oh yeah

I said pressure drop, oh pressure, oh yeah pressures gonna drop on you
I said pressure drop, oh pressure, oh yeah pressures gonna drop on you
Sometimes you feel alone,
and the things that you're doing, people tell you that it is wrong
Life gets rough, life gets tough, so tell me what you gonna do about it?

[pepperbear]

8. I like the byline

"Americans gloomy about economy"

Ah, there's the spin

...forget that there is an impending conflict with Iran, complete with the same "will they/won't they" rhetoric that lead to Iraq. forget the millions without health insurance, the draconian social agenda, etc.....it's the economy that has everyone down.


:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[Justitia]

9. Same brain-dead zombie percentage. They must be on speed dial. -eom

[saltpoint]

10. Maybe all those Iraqis who were going to welcome us with roses

but who have heretofore withheld them could forward them in a big bouquet to Junior.

Looks like he could use some perkin' up right about now.

"...To Preznit Bush with love from all the friends & family of the killed and maimed citizens of Iraq, with a special heartfelt thanks for gutting our national museum."

[Brundle_Fly]

12. SIX points

Only 6 points above Nixon's lowest low.

[Arugula Latte]

13. We have faith in our prez'dint! He'll stay the course!

We just KNOW he can hit a new low! :woohoo:

[warrens]

14. I wonder how Britt is going to spin THIS one

I predict a disappeared blonde will suddenly get a lot of attention.

[The Backlash Cometh]

15. Yo-Yo MON!

Now that's good news!

[madrchsod]

16. if this is fox then the republicans in november are toast

senate and house could actually go democratic...fitzgerald should be going into formal charges and prosecution about that time, god forbid another natural disaster,and iraq goes into all out civil war and the fake government collapses and those would be the final blows to the empire. we would have to pick ourselves back up and start again...

[William769]

[Initech]

19. One Fox poll that doesnt look rigged?

:wow:

[Herman47]

20. 21 in a row below 40!!

Check this out:

http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm

HOW LONG CAN THIS BE KEPT UP?

I don't hope for much; I just hope he's below 45 percent on election day.

[rurallib]

21. Making Tony Snowe the spokeliar will help!

So sad that 1/3 of the country is so fucking stupid. So sad one is my brother in law.

[Disturbed]

24. The Bush Cult rating is about 30%?

Can his approval rate go below 30%?

[nonconformist]

22. Damn!! If he's that low on Fox, you know he's toast

:bounce:

[originalpckelly]

23. They can't say it is the liberal media either! (n/t)

[0007]

25. The freepers think that if junior would just shut down the borders

his poll numbers would go up twenty to thirty points.

[oscar111]

27. Bush, cheney STEP DOWN. Time for the big boys and girls to clean up your

mess. The big boys are the Democrats. Progressive Democrats.

The midget minds are history now. Step down.

Republicans rob, Dems repair. Rob, repair, rob, repair... that's how it has been going for a long while.

Republicans caused the '30's. Never forget that. 225 flat starved to death in New York City. {see Demopedia, Great Depression for source}

Republicans rob, the public realizes it, and the Dems step in to repair the country.

Then the republicans shout "tax cuts, tax cuts" from the rooftops at the top of their lungs for years, and clamber onto our backs again to rob us blind.

AAR can prevent that return of the robbers. Get a union LOCAL to buy a station and put AAR on, like IBEW did in Alaska. .. only 160,000 dollars, IIRC. The rest of the money is for advertising the station.

See my Journal for more on that from Randi Rhodes website.

33. Too late...they already did

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x977882

read the last comment in the OP. And don't forget to take your jaw with you off the floor.

[orleans]

26. (there goes us, rigging those damn polls again!)

:sarcasm:

[oscar111]

29. DUBAI, BIRDFLU-vote GOP out. {good slogan, bumpersticker}

It combines the main reason for bush's drop in polls, with an upcoming disaster that requires GOOD planning to protect Joe Sixpack voter.

He felt unsafe with DUBAI PORTS... birdflu will cause the same unease with the GOP, widespread voter unease.

So i submit the title as a good campaign slogan.

[Poiuyt]

30. 33%?? From Fox??

I think that's the lowest number he's received from a major poll and it comes from Fox. They could take a poll of DU members and it wouldn't be much lower.

[jsamuel]

31. April 18 and April 19 - first poll since the generals and rummy

the others have all been 8-10th and before

I think it is funny that Fox interprets the fall as Republicans being scared of Bush's low poll numbers getting lower, not that they actually disapprove, but that they approve, but say they don't because they are scared that he will hurt Republicans in November... :crazy:

32. Crash and burn, baby! n/t
