1. And to think Bill Clinton got 68% approval

WHILE HE WAS BEING IMPEACHED.

[Barkley]

13. Clinton earned his ratings and so did Bush!

After 9-11 Bush had 90% approval but through his incompetence he lost nearly 50%.

Bush is incompetent.

Bush can't even get credit for the parts of the economy that are improving.

2. he doesn't care

he's got DIEBOLD!

[Kahuna]

15. BINGO!!! My son thinks he will declare Marshall law and

steal another election in 2008. Sadly, I couldn't disagree with him.

[BlueIris]

17. Lots of people believe that.

And believe it could happen sooner than '08. A lot sooner.

Again: If you've got it, blog it. Be prepared.

3. Nixon II.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. I think even Nixon polled better.

[Hekate]

10. W makes Nixon look good

Never thought I'd live to see the day. On the other hand, key members of Bush the Lesser's administration made their bones under Tricky Dick's tutelage, and it made them the raging anal-retentive control-freaks they are today.

5. Bush is heading for Impeachment & a Depression!!!

and Americans are getting ticked off!!!

[Frances]

6. I think Dems should respond to Cheney and Rove's attacks

by saying that they are trying to divert attention away from Bush's low poll numbers. Bush is an unpopular president.

[Oversea Visitor]

7. Ahhh where did the 37%

come from
Gee all they need is look at the deficit chart
Only Moron wont get it
The US is headed towards the biggest trainwreck in the History of the Nation

Bush is a walking disaster Look at his track record
Bush does what do best
Every minutes, hours, days he is hard at work
Digging that deficit hole deeper and deeper
Is there no tomorrow?

[jmcon007]

8. damn, who are these 42 per centers?

[Erika]

9. Those who voted for Bush but are too arrogant to

admit they were wrong.

[Hekate]

11. Dead-enders, to be sure n/t

[Deja Q]

12. Judging by what I read today alone, it'll be 38% in 2 weeks.

How can 18% people hate how * is fiddling with the economy but otherwise like him? ("it's all about me" philosophy?)

[mom cat]

14. Approval rating is lower than the toilet paper.

Right with the other turds.

[napi21]

16. But how do you explain the straw poll (Bush v/s Kerry) yesterday

that still shows if an election were held that day, the results would be a tie?

It tells me that there's still a lot of people who just don't like Kerry!

[Mark E. Smith]

18. That's Why We Need To Nominate Clark

Time to get a little untraditional in our approach to presidential politics.

[Jacobin]

19. I thought that was obvious from his campaign

I like 90% of is policy positions and I had to work to get fired up about his candidacy....unfortunately, he didn't do the same.

[mondo joe]

22. Agreed. Even when I agreed with him he made me squirm.

[trogdor]

25. I've come to that conclusion too.

Not dealing with the Swift Boat Liars effectively didn't help, that's for sure.

[underpants]

20. Off Planet 5%

Too funny

[Supersedeas]

23. Funny but true--though the number may be a bit low

[Beetwasher]

21. "Off Planet" & "Out Bowling"

LOL!

[DeepModem Mom]

24. Almost down to nothing but his wing-nut base -- unfortunately...

that base rules Congress, federal agencies, and, increasingly, our courts. We have a long road back, but I pray we may be approaching the road.
