With Bush's approval rating plunging, a provocative poll question

[DemoVet]

How about a poll using this question:

If it were possible to vote to recall President Bush and Vice President Cheney, as in California, would you vote for or against their recall?

I know it's got its' pitfalls, even those who disapprove of Cheney/Bush might pause at actually turning them out, which might make it seem (especially to republicans) that he's on the right track. Still, I'd be interested in knowing just how deeply the dissatisfaction lies.

I'm smelling not just a lame, but a dead duck presidency here. Absent another terrorist attack, I can't imagine anything that would drive his approval numbers up significantly with so many things going downhill.

Ooops......

1. truth is a bygone phenomenon in public discourse

whatever the mob wants for poll #s it gets. Whoever they want in office they get. Whoever they want assassinated they kill.

2. I pray you are right. Everything must come to an end..even this evil lot

3. I was thinking just the same the other day...

It is still really early in his Presidency. Why not see if we can get some momentum for this thing.

I say, if his numbers ever drop below 35%, especially within the next few months, we need to have one of our Democrat Senators put it out there. They did it in Califonia, why not for the whole damn country?

Do people really want to keep this guy around for another 3 1/2 years?

4. Recall the Bastard Now!

I can't afford these gas prices anymore!
F^&* you, Bandar Bush!

5. The problem is that I doubt the electorate would now elect Kerry

6. What a good idea.

I wonder how these polling organizations come up with their questions. Is there any way we could influence them?

7. Get rid of the b*stards but......

playing devil's advocate, here's the succession if president dies or is impeached ( http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0101032.html). Removing Cheney, would you really want any of these other freepers to take office??? They're all under the same "screw everybody except the rich" ideology. IMHO.

The Vice President Richard Cheney
Speaker of the House John Dennis Hastert
President pro tempore of the Senate1 Ted Stevens
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
Secretary of the Treasury John Snow
Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
Secretary of the Interior Gale A. Norton
Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns
Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez2
Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao3
Secretary of Health and Human Services Mike Leavitt
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Alphonso Jackson
Secretary of Transportation Norman Yoshio Mineta

8. Yeah, I know, it's more complicated than just recalling Bush

but I didn't want to get into the nuts and bolts of that just yet, I just wanted to be able to get a sense of how serious the trouble for Cheney/Bush really is.

10. Yeah, they are in some serious BUllSHit aren't they?

But of course, the Repugs will try to make all this blow over, just like everything else. I'd say that this would be the case, but I think there are too many questioning * and his "mandates" now. Hopefully it will continue and those 51% will see just how bad a mistake they made on 11/2/04.

11. Did'nt you mean "bushshit"?

9. I have begun noticing what could be a trend in smaller

local newspapers. There are fewer "rah rah wave the flag and support our president" opinions published, and many more well reasoned arguments against the bushtapo.

I have not seen much of it in the MSM, but there seems to be a wellspring of it within the smaller media outlets.

12. Maybe with some fine tuning

Californians voted to recall their governor because of fiscal malfeasance. If their were evidence of fiscal malfeasance of equal or worse degree in the federal government would you vote to recall the President as was done for the governor of California..Is the saying true "What's good for the goose is good for the gander"?
