OH YEAH!! Brand New Survey USA poll with State by State approval ratings

[DemsUnited]

The best, most comprehensive monthly poll out there (my opinion) shows the chimpster in a world of hurt. One of my favorite numbers: Texas at 42 approve, 54 disapprove.

You read it right -- TEXAS!!!

And there's a whole lot more where that came from at:
http://www.surveyusa.com/50State2005/50StatePOTUS1005SortedbyState.htm

On Edit: Weighted average is 38/59 which is the fourth or fifth poll in last few weeks that has B* under 40.

[merbex]

1. Not just a miserable failure (with kudos to D. Gephardt)

but a COLOSSAL FAILURE

Texas?

Hell is freezing as I type

[texastoast]

15. It is a bit chilly here

I'm not really surprised, except how freaking long it took.

[tmoore]

30. Looks like the red states are feeling BLUE

Hell its about time..:evilgrin:

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

34. Die-Hard Red States

Bush still has a net positive in

Alaska
Idaho
Nebraska
Oklahoma
Utah
Wyoming

What is that, something like twenty electoral votes?

[tmoore]

37. That will win elections

:toast:

[leanin_green]

60. It's such an embarrassment living in Utah. Geez!!!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

65. First the Osmond Family, now this!!!

[LoKnLoD]

2. Freaking Utah 61%

oh why oh why do I have to live in this state of morans!! :puke:

[grumpy old fart]

13. Not morons. Just cultists....

Golden tablets, give me a break!

[spinbaby]

16. You poor thing

61% approval. Sounds like a hellhole.

[Reciprocity]

22. Geez and here I was feeling sorry for myself, you poor thing.

[Supersedeas]

36. UT WY ID OK Alabama and Alaska

[charlyvi]

45. Not Alabama.

His numbers are now 48% approve 49% disapprove in Alabama.

[bobbieinok]

48. sales clerks etc in OK all anti W; woman at clinic really anti W

I assume my brothers are still ardent W supporters, but we don't talk politics anymore

many of the people I've talked to out-and-about in OK agree with me How DID W win OK since most people we've talked to are anti???????

[eowyn_of_rohan]

53. And we already know the answer

and we have known it all along. And take a look at Kansas and Arkansas. "What's wrong with Kansas" indeed!!!!

[girl gone mad]

43. oh...I empathize.

I'm in a county of morans.

[grateful581]

47. I feel your pain

These poll results for utah pissed me off.
We have a long way to go utah dems

[eowyn_of_rohan]

54. I laughed when I saw their #

I used to live in Utah, too. Thankfully it was Park City. We were considered the scourge of the state and wore the title proudly. It's wrecked there now though. :toast: (3.2 of course)

[ewagner]

3. Go Massachusetts!

Approve 28%
Disapprove 68%

It think that's the lowest approval of them all.

[CottonBear]

4. Only 6 states have a majority that approves of *. Woo hoo!

http://www.surveyusa.com/50State2005/50StatePOTUS1005SortedbyApproval.htm

edit: GA 46% approve, 52% disapprove.
I'm fucking amazed. We have a ton of military and fundies in our state along with plenty of racist, middle-class to upper-middle class whites.

[Armstead]

5. Yaeh Massachusetts.

I think Massachusetts wins.

Approve 28% Disapprove 68%

[tk2kewl]

6. I'm moving to Rhode Island!

:D

[Tiggeroshii]

7. He's failing in nearly every state he won

now isnt that hilarious?

[emulatorloo]

12. but but but. . . .pResident Bush is soooooooo resolute!

and that John Kerry is a wind-surfer!!!!!!!!

Ugh!

[hippiechick]

8. It's still a toss up in Indiana ...

... these people are so freaking small-minded, spiteful, selfish and stupid, it's scary. And very disheartening. :(

[DemsUnited]

10. Umm, I read the number as 44 approve/53 disapprove in Indiana?

Not as huge a rejection as the double digit net negative approvals, but getting there!

[hippiechick]

17. Right but consider in a margin of error ...

... as about 4 pts, and it's 48 app/49 dis.

[AllegroRondo]

9. Down to 39% in MISSOURI!!!!

There is hope for the world!

[grumpy old fart]

11. 37% approval in Ohio. A state he "won"?

things that make you go, hmmmmmm

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

14. Arkansas has 58% Disapproval

and a majority of Arkansans have been disapproving since May 05.

[Arkansas Granny]

28. A lot of Arkansans who supported Bush on the Iraq war and

other issues have been strangely quiet lately. I don't even hear people defending him like I have in the past.

[davidinalameda]

18. Virginia is at 41%

that should help Kaine some in his race for governor

[RubyDuby in GA]

19. Georgia is at 46%

This is why we're dead last in education. These yahoos still think he's doing an ok job, although it is down 6% from the last time.

[Reciprocity]

20. I concur with that number. Texas at 42 approve, 54 disapprove.

As a Texan my husband and I were the only two ( we have NEVER voted for him as gov and pres, they all have) in our family of ten (all who voted last time) who did not vote for *. Only three (fundies) now approve of his job performance.

[RubyDuby in GA]

21. How in the hell does he have a 48% approval rating in LA???

I mean...seriously. :wtf:

[Tiggeroshii]

23. All their liberals moved to texas?

That would explain the 42% there... I guess.. =\

[Beetwasher]

24. A HUGE Segment of LA Is No Longer Pollable: NO is Empty

The LA #'s are flawed because they can't poll a single person who used to live in New Orleans, which was a large segment of LA's total population.

[Reciprocity]

27. Great point! (nominated)

[NYC Liberal]

25. Loving New York even more right now!

New York 30/66

[BrklynLiberal]

26. How could Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana have such high

approval percentages after what the BFEE has done to them? ( I realize the percentages are not objectively high, but they should be in the low twenties or teens.)

[Hippo_Tron]

55. New Orleans can't be properly polled

Those who lost their homes can't move back to New Orleans. Those who lost their homes tend to be the ones who didn't approve of Bush before Katrina and certainly don't approve of him afterwards. New Orleans is the only liberal bastion in Louisiana. It's actually quite amazing that he doesn't even break 50% in the state without New Orleans.

Mississippi and Alabama are somewhat in the same situation, although both of those states are far more conservative to begin with.

[MuseRider]

29. Kansas is still moving

in the correct direction. It is about damned time.

[kansan]

31. agree

-11%

[MuseRider]

33. Welcome to DU kansan!

Edit to add, you have been here a while just not posting. Still, belated welcome.

[kansan]

35. at least 2

democrats in KS!

[MuseRider]

39. Oh there are many more

and I think we may be gaining a few more after everything that has been going on. Have you been to the Kansas forum? There is a meetup tomorrow night in KC.

[Gronk Groks]

32. Nevada 37% approval / 63% disapproval...

Well Jack Carter, if you can tie those numbers to Senator Ensign's coattails you are going to be the newest Senator from Nevada!!!

Just need to keep hammering at the reThugs!!!

[newswolf56]

38. The states where Bush leads must all have huge lockstep...

JesuNazi majorities. I knew that is true of North Dakota, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Oklahoma: by some strange perversion of reality, farmers and ranchers -- who of all people should know better -- are often vicious Fundamentalist zealots -- the reason "God's country" is invariably Klan Kountry. But Alaska surprises me: literally everybody I know from there is either an agnostic, an acknowledger of the Goddess (whether practicing or not), or -- most likely among the back-woodsers -- someone who has adopted American Aboriginal spirituality (in response to the presence with which the whole Pacific Northwest wilderness yet resonates -- even sometimes glows). As Gary Snyder puts it:

Raven on a roost of furs
no bird in a bird-book,
black as the sun.

[geniph]

50. Alaska wants to keep those subsidies

all those federal kickbacks to each Alaskan.

And all twelve of 'em can go to hell in the same handbasket as Herr Busch.

[Maine-ah]

40. what the hell is up with Utah? 61% Do they live in caves?

Sorry to anyone in Utah, but geez, 61%?

[newswolf56]

42. One word: Mormons. Devout supporters of theocracy.

[NCarolinawoman]

41. Red states vulnerable to hurricaines

have realized what Bush is all about: INCOMPETENCE.

Of course there are many other reasons as well. I'm proud of the two Carolinas for finally "getting it".

[Czolgosz]

44. BushInc is running 54% disapproval, 42% approval in TEXAS?!?!

[0007]

46. 0 my, do I love those Texas number. n/t

[last_texas_dem]

74. I do like that TX number

Though it actually surprises me a bit... The * supporters I know are just as defensive of Shrubbie as they ever were, and the "W '04" stickers seem no less common than before the election. I'm not complaining, though; I'm assuming it's the more middle of the road and less political people who are waking up to Shrub's ineptness; the "true believers" are a lost cause.

[struggle4progress]

49. Rightwing S Carolina dislikes him even more than moderate N Carolina

:)

[SharonRB]

51. Ohio at 37 and 61 -- hmmmmmm

[Roland99]

52. Not surprised seeing KY rather high on the * approval chart

Plenty of faux Christians and just plain ignorant rednecks around here.

But, a 4% in two weeks? Nice.

[Hippo_Tron]

56. You guys sent a wingnut with no brain function back to the US Senate

Over a Democrat with no real objectionable positions on social issues.

[Roland99]

64. Don't blame me!

I don't live in Bunning's district. He covers the areas separate from Louisville. You have to remember, this state is full of fundies and white trash but they don't represent all of this state (Kerry took Louisville somewhat handily.)

But, even Louisville has more than its share of fundies. We're home to the $100 million+ Southeast Christian Church and another mega-million, mega-church that was home to that infamous "Justice Sunday" event. There's also that Creationism museum in northern Ky. near uber-conservative Cincinnati, OH.

[cantstandbush]

57. What the hell is wrong with Alaska? n/t

[flygal]

68. Haven't you heard about that spiffy new bridge they're getting

that - plus oil!

[really annoyed]

58. Yes Michigan!

65% disapprove.

[fearnobush]

59. No Way did Treason Chimp win this state!

<>

[Cookie wookie]

61. Georgia's turned Blue

Woo Hoo!

[RebelOne]

76. I don't see how. Not with all the Bush/Cheney

bumperstickers I see around the Atlanta area.

[An Unabashed Atheist]

62. Great info

Great information. Thank you.

[TheFarseer]

63. la la la I'm not listening

says Nebraska. I'm at a complete loss. What in the world is he doing for Nebraskans? I guess we REALLY hate abortion and gays!

[progressoid]

66. Hey, he's down 3 points from last month!

At least a few people are waking up.

[Virginian]

67. I'd like to see the voters of Washington, D. C. included.

It's verrrry blue.

[Hello_Kitty]

72. That's gotta be single digits!! eom

[FreedomAngel82]

69. Wow!!

42% in Texas? That is pretty bad! I would love to see Texas go blue again. Tennessee it's 40%!! Yay! Now hopefully my state will go blue next year and 2008!

[redacted]

70. He's already under 35% in A DOZEN STATES!

Nixon resignation territory, for sure.

[WLKjr]

71. 61% in OHIO Disapprove

Kind of makes you wonder how he got re-elected I mean selected for a second term...

[ngGale]

73. Whoa....

NC - 41% 56% -15%

NC & SC - Oh my, the Aspen's are turning.:thumbsup:

[Neil Lisst]

75. DemsUnited - thank you and like your name!

I like the sentiment, too. I want everyone who will vote for our side on election day. Vote early, vote often, and vote straight Democratic. It's so easy, and it saves time.


That is a great resource you posted a link to. While it won't translate entirely in congressional elections, this shift has to pull some seats away from the Pubs.

----------
today - Is Bush behind it?
http://www.webcomicsnation.com/neillisst/

[phatkatt]

77. Oh, YEAH! Alabama (my state) has tilted!!!!

-1% net approval

I never thought I'd see the day!

This calls for a really good beer.
