Zogby: Bush Job Approval Hovers At 46%

[Mark E. Smith]

6/2

Bush Job Approval Hovers at 46%; Job Rating Even Lower Among Catholics, Independents; Red States Still Warm to President, Blues Chilly; Half (50%) of Americans Say Nation on Wrong Track, New Zogby Poll Reveals.

President George W. Bush's approval rating rating continues to hover at an "anemic" 46% - all at a time when his Capitol Hill initiatives are stalled or being defeated by opponents, according to a new poll released by Zogby International.

5/25 Positive 46% (Excellent 18%, Good 28%)
Negative 53% (Fair 23%, Poor 30%)

Pollster John Zogby: "In a bad week for the President - a near defeat on stem cells, a Senate compromise on his judicial nominees - his numbers are anemic, and not where a second-termer needs to be at this point in his presidency.... If his job approval was better than 46% we wouldn't be seeing so many Republicans defecting from his agenda in the House and Senate. The fact is, they need to go home and say they are getting things done, which trumps loyalty to a 46% president."

1. I still can't believe its that high

[autorank]

7. Neither can I and I'm sure it's not that high. More BS from CM

Corporate Media

[merwin]

35. No, it's probably at that level. You wouldn't believe how many blind

idiots there are in this country. Ask a few random people if they know about the recent meeting minutes that proved GW started the war a year before he told us. Then ask them if Newsweek caused a bunch of riots. It's really sad.

[CottonBear]

9. Me either.

:eyes: There are prabably 30% (fundies/wackos) who would vote for * no matter what. I'm not sure about the other 16%. They're either really rich and don't care about freedom or they aren't paying attention

[Pacifist Patriot]

Aren't paying attention.

[0007]

31. If one removes the fudge factor of 7.5%, junior is in the

high thirties which is way too high.

[tridim]

13. His "approval" will still be at 30% after he's convicted

and thrown in prison. The other 10% probably just think it's their duty to not criticize a sitting president.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

47. Exactly. eom.

[still_one]

14. That shows how screwed up the red states are

[katty]

28. red states kept in pepetual state of rapture of deception by bush

[JRob]

22. Yeah it's got to be lower than that...

There are too many Repubs now raising eyebrows.

:applause:

[hvn_nbr_2]

45. They have to apply the "Mitofsky factor" to get it that high

Because of reluctant Bush responders, we have to assume that 68% of the country are Republicans. :sarcasm:

[BlueIris]

57. Me either. These things are rigged. Even Zogby. Imagine

what it really is.

[FourStarDemocrat]

59. Zogby is not skewed towards Bush. During the last election...

none of his polls were found to be padded towards Bush. I was following the whole thing. The worst offender was Gallup. Zogby was among the few that was accurate, and that showed Bush's consistant weakness and the mistrust people held towards him.

[Lochloosa]

2. Zogby....46%....:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[indepat]

3. 30% say poor: simply amazing, no mind boggling

[kurtyboy]

52. I caught that too

His POOR ratings have been at 30% plus or minus 3% FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS!


If this ain't supporting evidence that the election was stolen , I don't know what is....

[autorank]

4. Well, he's come out of hiding, Zogby. Hope someone asks

him about election fraud and the BS elections, but I doubt it.

[sarcasmo]

5. It all depends on who took the poll.

[Cocoa]

6. Laura should take her comedy act on tour

the President's image needs more softening.

[bahrbearian]

39. What would she have him milking now,, Barney the Dog ?

Whould that reachout to dog lovers

[fasttense]

8. That 46% must be the people who actually got to vote in 2004. n/t

[The_Casual_Observer]

10. "Even Lower Among Catholics" Why? Are they pissed

because after they voted for the bastard in record numbers, they got lied to about him passing laws against abortion and gays? That particular "voting block" has to be about the dumbest bunch of lambs to the slaughter of them all.

[darkism]

32. Maybe more REAL Catholics are starting to come out of the woodwork.

The ones who try and emulate Christ's teachings of tolerance and such - those admirable qualities that ** has none of.

[DS1]

11. If the Nation is on the wrong track, then God purposely sabotaged

the country when he picked Bush to lead us through 9/11, as we all know he did

:eyes:

[Supersedeas]

12. 18% say Excellent -- what planet are these brownshirts from?

[JRob]

25. Moronica! nt

[leftchick]

15. I quit taking Zogby polls after the last selection.

Everytime they send me one I delete it. I just don't see the point. I wonder how many other liberals feel like me and delete them?

[Gregorian]

16. 46% for a LIAR KING?

Unbelieveable.

Well, one person I spoke with said they liked "a man of action".
Others are so ignorant, they don't want anyone like Kerry who might shake things up. They're too busy cutting down trees or mining mountainsides to be thinking about change.

The media plays a major hand in this. I mean, if we had a media, this creep wouldn't have been able to steal the election in 2000. And the Downing Street Memo would be plastered over every television screen in the country. Half the country is made of people who don't know, and don't care to know. Too much effort. The rest are dragged down by them. It's a shame. But it's the same story throughout mankind's past.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

17. I just took a Zogby poll recently and it didn't have one question

about bush or politics. It was all about elderly people driving. They must run several different ones?

[Princess Turandot]

40. I was called for the one the article discussed..

while it had some non-political questions, none were about elderly people driving. Their company would also get polling jobs from all sorts of entities.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

49. Mine are always through the internet

but in the past have always been mostly political. This one was really dumb...repetetive with stupid questions that took around twenty minutes. I don't think I'll do any more of those.

[ebayfool]

53. I took that one, too. It also asked @ political affliation (who did you .

vote for, what party are you registered with). Makes me wonder if thay shake out the ones that say Kerry/Democrat? Wasn't that also the one that asked which 'Harry Potter' & 'Star Wars' characters do you equate with *ush, Pickles, Kerry, etc? wierdest damn poll I've ever seen!

[ribrepin]

54. That's the one I just did

Really strange. I'm not much of a Harry Potter fan.

[ebayfool]

55. I'm not either, had to ask the grandson who the 'good' guys & 'bad' guys

were (he is a major freak over both Star Wars & Potter, he loved explaining just how Little Boots & Pickles were just like ...!). Still haven't figured out the old people driving one though, has to be something relating to insurance companies & who knows what else! I'm tempted to just tell them I want to know WHO the polls are for before taking any more of them. With the weird harold kind of questions they have, who knows how it's being massaged to fit the clients 'needs'!

[Jo March]

18. Ah, yes. Another piece of evidence to support election fraud

Yessiree - this man didn't win. He STOLE the election.

Oh, well. Must email this one tonight to the Dem Congress critters since they won't see this in the corp media.

Just doing my part to catapult the propaganda. :evilgrin:

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

19. Anyone know

what the statistics are for midterm elections when the president has a low approval rating? Or for the next presidential election when the president is not running for reelection?

[HockeyMom]

20. Used to get polled regularly by Zogby

They stooped polling me after the election. I read on their site that 55% of Americans they polled FAVOR Bush's privatization of Social Security. I don't trust them anymore. I don't favor it, my 20 something daughters don't, and now they don't poll any of us anymore.

Just seem to me they are polling now by a predetermined demographics to achieve the results they want.

[louis-t]

29. You have more than 20 daughters?

Oh, wait, I get it.:think:

[Dawgs]

21. This number is so high because we are so close to the election...

The idiots that voted for Bush don't want to believe they made a wrong choice. Wait until he's been in office for a year and then you will see his numbers really start to drop.

[Mark E. Smith]

24. Best Point On The Thread

Hadn't looked at it that way. I wonder at what point shame kicks in for bushies and the whole rotten mess tips away from Smirk?

[pie]

27. That is a good point, no one wants to admit they fucked up

[teryang]

50. Republicans I know admit it was a mistake

Some decided before the election. The somewhat less intelligent decided after.

The only people who support the man at this point are the brain dead mass ideology believers. The rural fundamentalist types you can see regularly on a John Hagee I hate Muslims and Humanists TV group jerk off. The same kind of people who supported Hitler and Stalin through thick and thin. They don't know any other way.

[AuntiBush]

23. I don't buy it. His ratings have to be at 32 percent or lower.

[Cha]

26. It's probably worse and

they are copping to 46%.

Regimes have no trouble steamrolling what they want with 46% approval.

[Doctor_J]

30. This nation is truly doomed

46% of the people who live here are either completely ignorant of the truth, or so partisan as to be useless as functioning citizens.

[yurbud]

33. I hope military and intel services say no to next 9/11

that will be how the Bushies try to pull themselves out of this hole, but the military should know they are being screwed and torn apart by these guys more than anyone.

[sattahipdeep]

60. Whitewash

A report issued by the US Justice Department
has boosted the credibility of Sibel Edmonds,
the former FBI translator who claimed a foreign
intlligence agency had blocked evidence
gathered prior to the 9/11 attacks.

http://www.breakfornews.com/Sibel-Edmonds.htm

[UTUSN]

34. Subtract 15 for a True Reading. n/t

[DeaconBlues]

36. The poll shows that Bush's approval is only 51% in the red states

That's pretty low in a section of the country that will tend to give any conservative leader the benefit of the doubt. Once its below 50%, once they can't get a majority of Gomers to support Little Boots, that's when this presidency will be in crisis.

[pinniped]

37. His capital went to where the sun doesn't shine.

Loser.

[LosinIt]

38. Maybe it's because Zogby dropped some of the people he polled

I used to get an email from him asking to do a survey about every two weeks. Haven't heard from him in months.

[VegasWolf]

41. Bullshit! Are they polling outside of Alabama and Texas? n/t

[leftofthedial]

42. how could 46% of Murkans POSSIBLY believe the bushturd

is doing an acceptable job?

I'm going freaking crazy.

[Straight Shooter]

43. I think 30% will say they approve just so the U.S. appears to support him.

They know they don't approve personally, but for the sake of show, they say they approve.

There are also many idiots out there who will say they approve of him because they think a low rating will "hurt his feelings." They don't grasp that he really doesn't give a rat's patooie what anyone thinks of him.

[Enraged_Ape]

44. I NEVER get Zogby polls when his stock is down

I haven't seen a Zogby poll in weeks, and I answer every one I get.

On the other hand, whenever something happens that can be spun in the MSM as even one-quarter favorable for the monkey king, I can always count on getting a Zogby poll in my Inbox.

Does that not strike anyone else as...well...odd?

[anotherdrew]

46. THIS JUST IN: 46% in US think day is night, night is day

Bush says sky is green. Enjoy the green sky 46%.

[adigal]

48. Favorability rating of 53%??? Are you kidding???

What about him do people favor?? His aptitude at dis-A-sembling things, such as Iraq???

[Vogon_Glory]

51. He'd Better Enjoy These Numbers

Buckaroo Bush had better enjoy these poll numbers while he can--short of a savage attack by the Martians, his poll numbers have nowhere to go but down.

[Raster]

56. One word: BULLSHIT

Second Word: whore

[BlueIris]

58. Once again, I'm both happy and scared.

46% = some chance at taking him down, but it also = more terror isssues. Possibly major ones.

[radfringe]

61. job approval

[DuaneBidoux]

62. Has he ever explained his bogus call eletion night?

Until he does he has zero credibility with me.
