WASHINGTON, (AFP) - US President George W. Bush took a political beating this weekend after a second opinion poll, taken after a spike in US casualties in Iraq, showed a sharp drop in public support for his Iraq policy.

The survey by Newsweek magazine indicated only 34 percent of Americans approved of the way Bush was handling the situation in Iraq while 61 percent expressed their disapproval.

The findings, made public Saturday, represented the president's lowest rating on Iraq ever, which thus far has hovered above the 40-percent mark.

They echoed a sampling conducted this past week by Ipsos-Public Affairs for the Associated Press, which indicated that just 38 percent of respondents approved of what Bush is doing in Iraq while 59 percent disapproved of the policies and two percent had mixed feelings about them.

At least 38 US military personnel have died in Iraq in the last 10 days -- in one of the deadliest outbreaks of insurgent violence since the March 2003 US-led invasion of the country.

1. The amazing thing is that this tone deaf bunch of

opportunists keep diving deeper in the crapper on their own.

4. I'm sorry.... is there a penalty that they pay for having low ratings?

I didn't think so.

they keep getting what they want , and have no re-election to worry about.

11. But I think this shows that Cindy Sheehan's timing is perfect

Make Bush finally be accountable for the lies in starting this war.

2. I just noticed something interesting

They NEVER give Bush's approval ratings anymore -- it's all specific disapproval ratings, which obscure the approval/popularity scores.

Where is his approval at?

--p!

3. BUSH IS IN HIS HIDEY HOLE

hiding under a blanket from a righteously pissed off mom. I'm sure all of his handlers are all pretending that everything is A OK. Is it possible to have lower ratings than that? Is this a record low rated president? :mad:

6. Bush's Response?

"Gee, who can we attack next?"

Watch for it. He needs a good war to take the heat off. Maybe this is why he is inviting terrorists into our country by refusing to do a darn thing about sealing our border with Mexico.

7. Bush couldn't care less about numbers-losing in Iraq is another story

he knows he's gone in 3 years so expect anything that big-biz and the wealthy can possibly benefit even more from.

This is exactly where it's at.

10. Unless...

Fitzgerald hands down a conviction to harsh it will take down the Presidency in impeachment.
