Gallup: Bush Job Approval 37% (Drop From 40%)

[Mark E. Smith]

PRINCETON, NJ -- A new USA Today/Gallup poll finds 37% of Americans approving of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 59% disapproving. Despite many extraordinary events dominating the news over the past two weeks -- including the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon and Bush's high-visibility trip to Europe ...

Curse and Grope Georgie's Euro performance isn't exactly bringing him back into the nation's good graces ...

1. That leaves only Fox rating him 40 or above

[itzamirakul]

2. If Gallup is admitting to 37%, then you KNOW that the figure is even

LOWER THAN THAT!

His poll figures must be SO low that even 37% looks good to his honchos at Gallup.

That's ok, though...his other friends at Fox, CNN, MSNBC, et all will just automatically bring those figures back up to some mystical, unproven number of 42% or 45% and then immediately point out every single Democratic President who has had numbers lower than Bush.

[whistle]

3. Does anyone know what the lowest presidential approval rate

...by any U.S. president was? Who was the president, what was the approval rate, when did this occur and what was the cause in that public opinion shift?

4. Not sure,

maybe we need to look up the stats on John Adams.

Does anyone remember what his approval rating was?

13. I think

that Truman was pretty low when he left office. The Korean War being the major cause of that low rating. If memory serves (and it often doesn't)

[Lorien]

6. When did it jump to 40%?

Last time I read about his approval ratings they were below 30%-and things weren't as messy then!

7. Approve of his "job?" Which "job??"

1. Clearing brush??
2. Gone Fishing??
3. Trying to learn how to ride his bike??

Anybody knows which "job" 37% (idiots or brainwashed) approve of?? :grr:

[acmavm]

8. 40??? Nah, I think someone's dyslexic. It's 04%

[Fridays Child]

9. Gas goes up. Bush goes down. Duh.

I just wish something other than gas prices would wake up Americans--say, human slaughter in pursuit of empire, environmental catastrophes, the destruction of the Middle Class, the collapse of health care, the disenfranchisement of poor people and minorities, the assault on reproductive choice, the withholding of civil rights from GLBTs.

But that's just me.

10. Applying the Jack Rabbit Gallup Poll handicap

Gallup says 37%, then Bush's actual approval rating is

32%

[Deja Q]

11. What, people are jobless and they still love the guy?!

What are they expecting in return?

I'd like to know.

12. It was WHO was groping her that gave her the creeps.

It was like being groped by Hitler.

14. What was charles I approval rating when he was beheaded?

1649 was a cold year for kings... could 2007 be as well?

[Wednesdays]

15. About the same as Louis XVI in 1793...
