New Bush, Iraq Poll Numbers
By Marjorie Connelly

In the months since the Congressional elections, President Bush has lost substantial support among members of his own party, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll.

Mr. Bush’s approval rating dropped 13 percentage points since last fall among Republicans, 65 percent of whom now say they approve of the way he is handling his job as president, compared with 78 percent last October.

Over all, Mr. Bush’s job approval remains at one of its lowest points, with 29 percent of all Americans saying they approve of the way he is doing his job, compared with 34 percent at the end of October. Sixty-one percent disapproved, compared with 58 percent in October, within the margin of sampling error.

Twenty-three percent of those polled approved of the way Mr. Bush is dealing with the situation in Iraq. Twenty-five percent approved of his handling of foreign policy.

1. "Who cares what you think?" - Commander AWOL Bush

"It's not like you are my constituency of rich corrput republicon crony hacks, or sexy male prostitutes like Jeff Gannon, or anything important. So shut up and sit down."

10. 29%?? Who are these people and what the hell can they be THINKING??

[ChairmanAgnostic]

24. such much? Shame on you, Double T. You used a dirty word!

"thinking" in the same sentence as bush supporters is a Bozo No No.

[Double T]

26. I'm sorry, I don't know what I was 'thinking';.........

won't let it happen again.

2. Beware of cornered despots!

He's got nothing to lose now, and that's truly terrifying.:scared:

[WiseButAngrySara]

3. 29% still and forever stupid. k(pete)nr. ....n/t

4. Isn't he about to catch up with Nixon on "lowliness."

[yardwork]

5. "23 percent say the efforts to bring stability and order to Iraq are going well."

What drugs are these people on??

Almost one-quarter of those polled thinks that things are going well in Iraq. :wow:

9. These are people who either watch FAUX news or no

news. Close to a third of Americans are beyond help.

11. FOX News plus Rush Limbaugh

If you listen to Rush all day and watch FOX all night you can maintain your delusion that * is doing his best for the country and deserves our support.

If you want to hear these types of people singing *'s praises personally, just tune in C-span's Washington Journal on any morning. They still call in and scold the rest of us for "not supporting the president" because he's doing "the best job he can" and explain how it's not *'s fault it's somebody else's fault.

[LibDemAlways]

18. Oh, I know. I used to work part time in an office

populated with freeper moron types. They listened to Rush in the morning and Hannity in the afternoon - while at work. Nonstop propaganda. One idiot even had a picture of chimp in his cubicle.

I remember one chilly morning one of the brainwashed came in and made a pronouncement that "there is no global warming. It's cold outside!" That is the mentality of a third of our fellow citizens. Scary.

6. If this were a fight, the referee would have to stop it

It's the end of the 9th round, and the President is bleeding profusely...but we're stuck with him for another 23 months. Our system does not serve us well at these times.

[GumboYaYa]

7. When do all of us ten percenters get to start gloating and saying

TOLD YOU SO?

It would be a happy day but for all the damage he has done to the world to get to 29%.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

8. Chaney should be at about 10% by now.

[bdamomma]

14. yea, he gives us the middle finger too, these people do not

care what we citizens think.

[B Calm]

12. It's a rarity here in the Midwest to see a Bush bumper sticker anymore..

13. 70% Of Us No Longer Exist

Remember, this regime works under the 2% solution.

As long as boooshie's internals show he's still got the wingnuts and moonbats, that's his "mandate". They look at those numbers and see the 50% of the 27% who would cheer if fukstick ate a live baby on TV and this is all they care.

Now, I'd love to see if anyone yet has polled on the topic of impeachment...and if so, why not? I'd be willing to bet the number in favor of starting proceedings is over 50% and those favoring boooosh's expulsion is near the 50% figure as well. The corporate media couldn't rush Clinton impeachment numbers out fast enough...used by DeLay to push that fiasco on the American people...while they're loathe to hold this regime to any accountability.

[KoKo]

15. Spot On! Looking at his approval among Repugs is all they care about

and it seems the Corporate Media has revealed itself as amongst the still high Repug approval.

The rest of us don't exist...We are a movement in our own minds according to the Media.

[KharmaTrain]

19. They Keep "Wishing" The Numbers...

You're spot on as well, Koko...

David Broder recently proclaimed booooshie's "on the rebound" and the corporate media still paints this regime as being "popular" and strong when we see how out of control its become...contorted to micromanage any and every story and avoid responsibility.

Those of us in the blogoshpere are now the corporate media's #1 enemy...they're hell-bent on showing us as opposed to holding this regime accountable. That's cause we don't have the drinkie-drinkie parties.

Cheers...

[ThatsMyBarack]

17. 29% is still....

....TOO DAMN HIGH! :mad:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

25. damn straight. It's a mandate!

or enough of one to do whatever he damn well pleases, ignoring congress, the senate, the election, and the will of the people.

[greenbriar]

20. this is where he woudl have been the first year sans 9/11 nt

.

[robinlynne]

21. I think it's time we change this framing, and call it 69% disapproval.

[Czolgosz]

22. Except it's not 69% disapproval: 61% disapprove, 29% approve, 10% lost in space

[GOTV]

23. I wish there were more polling about ....

... the public's attitude towards impeachment/removal
