Poll: Only 52% of Americans approve of God’s performance
Source: Raw Story
By David Edwards

Dissatisfaction and anger with the federal government is nothing new, but now even Almighty God is having a tough time getting support from the public.

A recently released survey (PDF) by Public Policy Polling (PPP) found that only 52 percent of American voters approve of God's performance, while nine percent disapprove and 40 percent are just not sure.

Among "very liberal" respondents, 19 percent disapproved. Only four percent of "very conservative" voters had a problem with the deity.

At 71 percent, God got His highest marks for creating the universe. His handling of animals was approved by 56 percent, and 50 percent even approved of His handling of natural disasters.

1. That 52% of the populace can approve of
the performance of a being that does not exist says something that is anything but reassuring.

10. I assume they mean Jehovah bible god.
These Christians are basically egotistical near-atheists. They don't believe in any of the tens of thousands of gods out there in world, except Jehovah which they happened to be raised to believe in.

Their asses are going to be real sorry when Ragnarok happens, and Father Odin smacks them down to Hell for believing in a god that doesn't exist.

11. I was called for that poll!. I was laughing my ass off...
Edited on Thu Jul-21-11 06:13 PM by Davis_X_Machina
...but since it was a robo-poll, I assumed they put those questions in to see if there was random button-pushing going on. I did not expect them to actually be released.

Conventional wisdom suggests that if His approval rating dips below 50%, He may face a tough re-election battle.

12. The voting was skewed by
some people not wanting to make god angry. After all, according to some people, he knows how we vote.
