Poll: American satisfaction at new low

By ALAN FRAM and TREVOR TOMPSON, Associated Press Writers
47 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - It's gloomy out there. Men and women, whites and
minorities — all are feeling a war-weary pessimism about the country
seldom shared by so many people.

Only 25 percent of those surveyed say things in the U.S. are going in
the right direction, according to an AP-Ipsos poll this month. That is
about the lowest level of satisfaction detected since the survey
started in December 2003.

Rarely have longer-running polls found such a rate since the even
gloomier days of 1992 ahead of the first President Bush's re-election
loss to Democrat Bill Clinton.

The current glumness is widely blamed on public discontent with the
war in Iraq and with President Bush. It is striking for how widespread
the mood is among different groups of people.

2. Bush and his Band of GOPers have destroyed the Confidence/Satisfaction of the General Public..
The GOP Polarity of Negativity has FAILED and the Masses want a return to POSITIVITY via Truth and Realistic Solutions....

The Peeps tire of the Negative BS and persistent Failure to address Terrorism successfully...its been 6 years of straight losses.

The GOPers have failed to Lead with success for the Common Good.

They have a trail of Failed/Exposed Cronyism as evidence of their ineptness

5. No surprise here


The only success the BushCo regime has had in the last six years is in their war on the middle class.


"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

— George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
