1. So, in reality, it's about 35 percent!

:woohoo:

[alarcojon]

8. Hey, that's Clark ripping into David Assman, right?

[Clark2008]

11. Yep.. it sure is.

I nicknamed him "General Smackdown" after that exchange.

It was one of my first posts on the Clark blog at the time. LOL.

[0007]

15. The fudge factor is 7.5% - So in reality junior's numbers

hover around 31% or lower.

[WI_DEM]

2. That's pretty good

There will always be a core of support from the nuts for him, but it's getting down.

[billybob537]

3. DRIP

DRIP DRIP!!

[Chiyo-chichi]

4. I hear

that there's good news coming for him this week. :sarcasm:

[Brooklyn Michael]

10. Yeah....he just saved a ton of money...

...on his car insurance by switching to Geico...:eyes:

[cliss]

5. This is good news.

I LOVE it when these guys are in meltdown mode. You can see it right here, in pics that people have posted.

Let's see just how tough these guys really are. When they wrote those PNAC documents, they were real hard-asses. Tough. We'll show the world who's boss. Don't back down.

So now when the heat's up, what happened to all the toughness?

[Sugar Smack]

6. Yes, and where is the smirk?

I haven't seen it in some time. I wonder what happened?

[alarcojon]

9. It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas...

[reprobate]

7. Perhaps justice will prevail. If so, I'm very concerned that the boy Bush

will crack like an eggshell. And for a cretin like him to control the biggest stockpile of nueclear weapons, with little control over him as to when th puch the button, now that's frightening.

Remember that we're talking about a sociopath with no compassion for anyone but himself, and a huge drive for revenge. If pushed into a corner I would not put it past him to detonate a nuke right here in the CONUS. That would teach the people of the nation that they can't put one over on him without payback.

Don't ever underestimate the evil of these people. His grandfather provided the funding to bring ole' Adolph to power. The grandson is even worse.

[NanceGreggs]

23. I think we need a new Amendment ...

"... whereby the President of the United States shall not have authority to deploy ANY weapons, unless he can correctly pronounce ALL OF THEM," and yes, that includes 'nuclear'.

[Thor_MN]

34. I like the idea that war can not be declared without a national referendum

and the only people who are allowed to vote are those who are eligibe for military service. A yes vote doubles as your enlistment papers, a no vote puts you at the end of the line in terms of draft and not voting puts you in the second draft.

Not my idea, Robert A. Heinlein's...

[oxbow]

38. Or just make it mandatory for Congressmen's children to enlist

that'll make em think twice

[jazzjunkysue]

12. Wow! Political capitol avelanche. Man-date heaven. 38% !!!!

Beautiful.

[NanceGreggs]

24. Has anyone told the BushBaby ...

... that the 'political capital' he was bragging about a few months ago is now down to a few lousy pennies?

Nothing more enjoyable than a 'Plame Duck' presidency!!!!!!!!!!

[jobycom]

13. That's the kind of things to make Bush say ARG!

Yeah, it was too obvious, so I had to say it.

[Changenow]

14. Zogby has him at preKatrina levels

10/19-21/05 45 55
9/29 - 10/2/05 43 57
7/26-30/05 45 55
6/27-29/05 43 56

[MadisonProgressive]

16. Well, then he's a damn fool!

[Mark E. Smith]

17. Zogby credits the Iraq election for this minimal bounce.

But with so many unfavorable things on the horizon for the Little President, I doubt that even if it does exist it won't last very long.

And the Zogby 55% disapproval number for Bush is nothing to sneeze at.

24/7 Plame is just around the corner. America loves seeing important national leaders hauled into court. And it has been 130 years since White House types have actually been indicted for something.

[no name no slogan]

19. Zogby is a junkie

As long as Cheney keeps supplying the Horse, Zogby keeps the numbers high.

[HockeyMom]

31. I get Zogby polls

Do they purposely SCREEN their polls? I voted in the previous one to this and gave Bush very bad grades. I am an Independent. They didn't' send me this one.

[ismnotwasm]

18. Good. The lower the better

I still personally can't understand why anybody is left "approving" of that man, but denial runs deep.

[Tight_rope]

20. Taking the usual 10% off for lies...Means he's really at 28% approval!

[Captain Hilts]

32. No, there is no "10% for lies." Pollsters don't get together ...

to plan this. Hell, they don't even like each other. They're competitors, remember?

[AlCzervik]

21. This poll looks like it's just about the economy, is that correct?

[ckramer]

22. Every trick has been used by Greenspan

Super low interest rate, 0% down payment, adjustable rate mortgage, home equity loan, etc., and Americans still think the economy sucks, what gives?


Maybe they should give out money for free to poor poeple.

[TexasLawyer]

30. No-- Give government money away to rich people

and they'll make sure that a lot of it gets into the hands of the poor. :sarcasm:

[cobaindrain]

25. It's the Bush Approval Ratings limbo!

How loooooooooooow can you go!?!?!

Do I see 35% by the end of the week?

[zann725]

26. An "inflated" 38%, me thinks...IF he's lucky.

n/t

[yellowcanine]

27. The 7% are Bush voters who can't bring themeselves to say they were wrong.

I suspect some of the 38% are in that category also. So really his hard core support could be closer to 30%.

[DFWJock]

28. Time to use up

some of that "political capital."

[cassiepriam]

29. Should be 3.8% and he should be in jail. nt

[Pachamama]

33. Guess that means really 28% & watch it drop to 25% (really 15%) when the

indictments come flying! :rofl:

I'm absolutely convinced btw that the so-called "poll numbers" are really off by 10% and he's really much lower than what is reported....

[CreekDog]

35. Any lower and he'll be needing advice on

how to be popular from Gray Davis.

[opihimoimoi]

36. TOAST...BUSH is Toast.

[Kathryn STone]

37. Getting worse? you have got to be joking rop

remember the days when Clinton was prez and youo actually had a decent life if you weren't a millionaire...

[The_Casual_Observer]

39. But the pundits keep reminding us that something good will happen

to save the sorry bastard. I doubt it.
