PUBLIC OPINION -- JUST TWO PERCENT OF AFRICAN-AMERICANS APPROVE OF PRESIDENT BUSH: An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows that, for the first time, President Bush’s approval rating "has sunk below 40 percent, while the percentage believing the country is heading in the right direction has dipped below 30 percent." The poll also reveals stunning opposition to President Bush among African-Americans. "Only two percent said they approved of his performance as president, the lowest level ever recorded in that category." Additionally, according to NBC, "strong majorities don’t believe that the recent charges against GOP leaders Tom DeLay of Texas and Bill Frist of Tennessee are politically motivated," and "just 29 percent think Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers is qualified to serve on the nation’s highest court."

1. Another sign of rigged elections?

This is further evidence of voter disenfranchisement. It couldn't have been much higher than 2% in 2000 & 2004.

[doublethink]

2. Somebody in another thread on this said ......

the margin of error was around 2% in this poll so the real approval rating is 0% ..... I thought that was great. :rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

9. Yeah, that was pretty funny.

Poor George!

[mcctatas]

21. Couldn't also be minus ANOTHER 2 points??

Of course, I'm having a bitch of a time in my research methods class, so sampling errors are not my forte.

3. Actually we could probably name them

Colin Powell (maybe), Michael Powell, Condi, Michael Steele, Rod Paige, Clarence Thomas, JC Watts, That winger on the radio and a couple of pastors who are getting big bucks from the 'faith based initiatives'.

5. i doubt colin powell is still enamored of this government

[lonestarnot]

6. Certainly does make one wonder who makes up the 2%.

They are the 2% that believe bushitler loooooooves black people.

[Craig3410]

12. Here.... I found it...

[DIKB]

14. They've also got

that Neocon hack Thomas Sowell. They print his garbage in the local paper. As far back as I can remember he has been an ankle-grabber for *

[Hello_Kitty]

19. Oh yeah, him too. n/t

[Hello_Kitty]

18. Plus Condi, Clarence, and that whacky dude on CSPAN

Yesterday morning. I forget his name but he's some wingnut preacher who says Blacks are to blame for everything bad that happens to them and said that it was better in the Jim Crow days. Seriously. People were calling in asking where they got this idiot. There's your 2 percent.

4. When you see your brothers and sisters dead bodies floating down the river

and you see Bush smirking,playing the guitar and eating birthday cake,it tends to piss you off,bigtime.

The good Christian schtick is wearing very thin.

[lonestarnot]

8. I would say so!

[sarcasmo]

7. Nominated. I guess that's how many black Republicans there are.

2% thats just great.

[KnaveRupe]

10. I would bet that at the same stage of his "presidency" (year 5)...

... Hitler had a higher approval rating among Jews than Bush has with African Americans.

That Ken Mehlman is doing a bang-up job of gaining black support for the GOP...

[Pirate Smile]

11. 2% approval with Blacks and 9% approval with Democrats.

The 2% is incredible because it could be 0 with the MOE. Haaa.

[Stinky The Clown]

13. .... And when you calculate in the margin of error at 3%

He's deep in the shitter and the flush has started

[oasis]

28. We arrive at a negative 1%. Oh my. (eom)

[sofa king]

15. Any second, they're gonna kick over a trash can and run for the door.

Things are looking grim for the Bush Administration. Why aren't some of these guys running like hell already?

[BurtWorm]

16. They better hope Condi and Clarence are in that 2%.

;)

[journalist3072]

17. I want to find the 2%....

As an African-American, I don't think his approval rating within our community should even be 2%. It should be -0.00%!!!

[lonestarnot]

20. It probably really is, or a -1 when consider the MOE

[journalist3072]

23. Very true! And FYI...

Here's how I covered it on my blog:

26. Very good post at your blog and thanks.

[journalist3072]

31. You're welcome, and thank you!!! eom

[OneBlueSky]

24. the figure's inflated, like all Bush poll numbers . . .

inflated by about 1.9% or so, I'd guess . . .

[cmf]

22. Are you sure it's 2% and not just "2"?

Condoleeza Rice is one, who's the other?

:think:

[lonestarnot]

27. -3 and a turd!

[No Exit]

25. Dick Morris wants to split up the monolithic black American voting bloc

and he thinks running Rice for president will do it.

I hope blacks as a group see through this strategy; attempting to split them into little groups (as whites are split) would decrease their power at the polls.

[triguy46]

29. What about a Condi/JC Watts ticket?? n/t

[Nikki Stone 1]

30. He wants to run the woman who was buying $1400 shoes while corpses floated

in New Orleans streets?
