[BamaLefty]

Listen to these extremely red states! Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and more!!!

Rhode Island wins the award for the nation's smartest political state for October. Rhode Islanders disaprove of Bush by a margin of 70-29%! Vermont was next with a net -40%.

1. Wow. There are NO southern states with a positive net approval.

But look at:

Alaska

Idaho

Nebraska

North Dakota

Oklahoma
and

Wyoming.

[Oreo]

9. You forgot Poland!

I mean Utah!

Utah had the highest approval rating for Bush
Utah Bush Approve 61% Disapprove 36%

[grateful581]

19. What the hell is wrong with my state!

I am embarrassed that the people of utah are so blind to the truth that they approve of bush more then any other state. Maybe it's that blind faith thing thats so popular here in utah.

I am a Utah Democrat and i do my best every day to tell the truth about the bush crime Family


This Really Pisses me off. I thought Utah democrats were growing fast in numbers.

[Geek_Girl]

28. Keep trying

Writing Letters to the editor is a good way to reach people. Try and write about things people care about.

[ultraist]

27. Utah is a very religious state, they support Christian dominionism n/t

What's the deal with the other NW and Midwestern states? Are they too pro theocracy? The Christian Coalition has deep roots in many of those states, that must be what it is. :shrug:

[Jane Austin]

21. Maybe they don't have newspapers there.

In the far reaches of those wilderness states.


(Edited for clarity.)

[eridani]

50. Mostly Plains and Western non-coastal states

I think the South has noticed hurricanes a lot more, and the highest approval states don't have earthquakes either. Of course Alaska is an anomaly by that standard.

[Paganini]

2. Texas at 54% disapproval- WOW

Maybe there is hope

[ananda]

6. Texas still has DeLay.

ugghh

[RobertSeattle]

3. I see Utah is now holds the highest Bush Approval

...Used to be Idaho.

In only 6 states is he above 50%

Oklahoma
Alaska
Nebraska
Wyoming
Idaho
Utah

[klook]

16. Good places not to go on vacation! (eom)

[ultraist]

25. Guess the South bashing threads will cease to exist. n/t

[against all enemies]

51. Only if they stop electing Pukes to House and Senate.

As long as Reps hold both houses there will never be an investigation into this Administration that will expose all of its' criminal actions.

[ananda]

4. 7 still approve

What's amazing to me is that people in seven states still approve of Bush!

It's wilderness states like Alaska, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Utah.. like that. It's a tie in Mississippi.

What's wrong with those people?

Sue

[cwydro]

45. Hmmm

wonder what the minority population is in those states? think there might be a connection? Still a lot of whites afraid of any other color, race, ethnic origin...eh? Doesn't Mark Fuhrman live in one of those states???

[Zynx]

5. WI-MN rivalry: We hate Bush more than you do!

MN -19%
WI -25%

;-)

[BamaLefty]

11. The Only Border State That We Beat

is Mississippi, and he doesn't even have a + mark there.

That state to the south of me is looking really good. FL will be blue in 2008 no doubt.

[ultraist]

29. LOL! We are are not that far behind: NC -15% n/t

[CoffeeCat]

7. My state...

...in Iowa 38 percent approve and 61 percent disapprove.

Oh yeaaaahhh!

And we're a red state!

Go Hawks! :)

[PassingFair]

44. The numbers in Iowa and Ohio are startling...

considering those are the states that were STOLEN. This makes it obvious.

[eleny]

8. Even Kansas is only 43% approve

[Metta]

10. Opposites.

Pennsylvania, where I live, and Utah. 36-62 with a 25 point decrease/ increase. ... not sure what that says other than we're at extremes in how we see things politically.

[klook]

12. Good stuff!

Thanks. This is great -- Bush is in trouble even in a lot of southern states (Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, et al.). And looking at the state-by-state graphs, the disapproval gap is growing in many states!

Hope this is accurate and indicative of things to come in 2006!!!

[blm]

13. I like the 54% disapproval in TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

.

[Dawgs]

14. I will love to see the Louisiana numbers from residents before Katrina...

I doubt very much that 48% of true Louisiana residents still support Bush.

[BamaLefty]

17. Well, considering that much of

very liberal 'Nawlins has been displaced, I'd say that those numbers are actually pretty good.

New Orleans Parish voted 78% Kerry.

[beltanefauve]

46. I don't know how many,

but many were displaced to UTAH...:eyes:

[adarling]

15. My state is getting it's soul back

Thank God, remember people, we did have Ann Richards and a democratic controlled congress till Rove and Bushy moved in. Keep it up people!

[BamaLefty]

18. And With The Influx Of Hispanics

TX can be blue within a decade. Just look at the demographics.

And I'll be working on Alabama. :)

[Ready4Change]

20. Highest approval 11pts above 50%

There are TWENTY FIVE (25) states at 11pts below 50%

Only 6 states approve at 50% or greater.

Only 8 states approve more than disaprove, or approve the same as disaprove.

:wow:

[Stinky The Clown]

22. The total population of the states that approve is still probably less

than the populations of NYC, Chicago, and LA.

Essentially, the message here is bush is

[SW FL Dem]

23. Wow!! FL has a -17%

58% disapprove, only 41% approve. And our Senate race is looking good, the White House didn't convince Cruella to withdraw and her approval ratings aren't that great these days :). Bill Nelson isn't perfect, but compared to Cruella, he is a Godsend.

[Lochloosa]

53. There is hope for my beloved state...

[matt819]

24. It would be interesting to see more data

Our of idle curiosity, I'd like to see those states where the approval rating has increased.

Short of that info, what is interesting is those states that have a positive net approval rating:
Idaho
Alaska (tranportation pork?)
Nebraska
North Dakota
Oklahoma
Utah - the largest net positive rating
Wyoming - they love Unca Dick

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

26. Southern states turning against/Western states 'not so much'...INTERESTING

Not all southern states, nor all western states following this trend, but some interesting numbers:

Alabama 48% 49% -1%
Arkansas 38% 58% -20%
Florida 41% 58% -17%
Georgia 46% 52% -6%
Louisiana 48% 49% -1%
Mississippi 48% 48% 0%

Idaho 55% 44% 11%
Montana 49% 49% 0%
North Dakota 49% 48% 1%
Utah 61% 36% 25%
Wyoming 54% 44% 10%

[ultraist]

30. Don't forget my state! NC -15%. Nice trend to see, eh? n/t

It looks to me like the Christian Coalition & the Council for National Policy (the most powerful lobbyist org) have been focusing on the Midwest and the NWest. Maybe they feel cocky about the South.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

35. Kudos to you, North Carolina! Vacation every summer in OBX.

And maybe you're right about them getting cocky with the south, too. Keep up the good work down there! Hope to see NC turn 'blue' in 06/08. I know Raleigh/Durham is pretty blue already.

[Uncle Joe]

32. I believe Bush's exposed incompetence and indifference

in the wake of Katrina was not great P.R. in the South.

[rexcat]

31. Ohio is the bell weather state for republicans...

As Ohio goes so go the republicans! 37% approval and 61% disapproval for Bush*. Bush* and the republicans are toast in Ohio in 2006.

[holboz]

33. LA shows a 48% approval rating? WTF!

I'm glad to see a 58% disapproval rating in my homestate of Arkansas. That's much higher than I thought it would be.

[Zynx]

37. Think about the logistical issues of polling NO residents.

That explains that number perfectly.

[Hidden Stillness]

34. At Last, Our Country Unites for the Good

Ha, ha, ha! Michigan is 33% approve, 65% disapprove, a -32% approval rating. Of course, Kerry won here, and Gore before that, so it is not one of their States turning, but still fun. All the Southern States turning against Bush proves once again the falseness of the "D"LC claims that the whole country is so "conservative," just like Republicans, and only we are out of step, etc., etc., that our only hope is to be like them. Now you find, that as the Republican devil rips apart every hope we once had of paying off bills--(esp. credit card), getting to retire someday, not fearing losing heat during the Winter--as they actually kill every security we used to have in the modern world, all for their little club of rich capitalists--that the threat has become real, and they really will slit your throat just to gouge a little more money out of you.

After all these years of having to fight off their media-supported campaign against us, ("latte liberals," "..hate America," "victim psychology," blah, blah, blah), while censoring our reply, the one thing they can't censor or keep under their control, is people's own knowledge of their own situation, and how they can't pay their bills or get gas for their cars anymore--and how it was all just so sudden; as soon as the Republicans wanted it to happen. The middle class people of this country were always more like us than like Republicans, but we had anti-Democratic, corporate propaganda coming at us, and at everyone else, from all directions, and fell for it for too long. Help the middle class and poor, and we will be the majority Party again.

[IntravenousDemilo]

48. Looks like Bush is a "uniter" after all! n/m

[rainidame]

36. man, I'm shakin' in my boots. . .

it is so hard living in the most bushy state of the union. . .I own a business and I have to be so careful what I say and to whom, cuz you know how the redneck right like to make you pay for not agreeing with them. . .

I was hoping maybe I was exaggerating, but the polls by state say I am not. . .scaaaaarry.

[rainidame]

38. OOPS, I missed Utah's numbers, I stand corrected, but

not less concerned.

[Muddy Waters Guitar]

39. Wow, even the Red States are furious at Bush.

Only a few remote mountain states (Idaho, Montana) and Alaska seem to have a positive opinion on him. This IMHO further underscores the magnitude of Brian Schweitzer's accomplishment in winning the Montana governorship for the Dems. If he can do that, he could probably win in quite a few other places. Maybe someone to consider as a running mate.

[BamaLefty]

40. BTW, Massachusetts Also Had Bush At -40%

I gave credit to VT, but left good 'ol MA out.

[npincus]

41. Time for a new red state-blue state map?

how many red states have flipped to blue? I'd like to see a new map.

[BamaLefty]

42. The Only Remaining Red States are

Alaska

Idaho

Nebraska

North Dakota

Oklahoma

and

Utah

Wyoming.


ROFLMAO!!! And the empire starts to crumble!

Hey, wouldn't you love to see that damn county map that they love to throw out so much. LOL! America would be so frikkin blue it wouldn't even be funny!

[ellisonz]

43. Why is Louisiana so close?

Louisiana Bush 48% 49%

I'd have thunk that Katrina would have put Louisiana firm against the current regime. I smell an opportune time for Democratic advertising.

[autorank]

47. You are a prince!

Went right to my state, Virginia, since I'm campaigning hard for Tim Kaine, our next Governor, Democrat and strongly supported by Mark Warner!

How about that 41% approve 56% disapprove in VA.

That's not translated directly into the Gov race where it's neck and neck with Kaine pulling away slightly, maybe more by this weekend.

Watch this race folks. If Kaine wins, it means two things...1) Republicans have negative coat tails with * at the top and 2) Warner will get a lot of credit and have some real 'big mo' in running for President.

If Warner is as smart as I think, he'll start veering left (his natural place anyway, he's a true entrepreneur who cares deeply for people and walks the walk).

BAMA - USC --- "A miracle in the Winter...for all the marbles!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

49. ah but he's counting on the hanging of Saddam to raise these #s again

[OneTwentyoNine]

52. The idiot has lost about 25% of his base here in Kansas.....

That's really,really hard for any Republican to do in Kansas.The stupid shits around here would back a Republican in murder if thats what it takes. For him to loose nearly 25% is astounding to say the least.
