Poll: Clinton more honest than Bush
:rofl:

<snip>

Which President do people think did a better job on the economy? The public picked Clinton by a mile -- 63 to 26 percent. For many Americans, the 1990s were boom years. "When he was President," a woman told us, "My business did well and I made a lot of money. I kind of miss that."

Who related better to problems affecting ordinary Americans? No contest -- Clinton over Bush, 62 to 25 percent. Clinton felt your pain. Clinton also raised taxes. Bush cut taxes. Who wins on that one? Surprise! Clinton, 51 to 35 percent on taxes.

After 9/11, national security became Bush's strongest issue. And now? People think Clinton was better on national security by a nose -- 46 to 42 percent. What happened? One word: Iraq.

Now for a tough test -- character. The character issue was crucial for Bush, who campaigned in 2000 on this promise: "When I put my hand on the Bible, I will swear not only to uphold the laws of the land, I will swear to uphold the honor and dignity of the office to which I have been elected."

So which President do Americans now consider more honest and trustworthy -- the man who said, "I misled people, including even my wife," or the man who said, "If somebody did leak classified information, I'd like to know it and we'll take the appropriate action"? A close call, but slightly more people say Clinton -- 46 to 41 percent. That's right, by a narrow margin, the American public now considers Bill Clinton more honest than George W. Bush.

4. Says volumes
Clinton wasn't always on the mark, but he was 10 times the President Bush is and more trustworthy on a lot of issues.

6. Do they know how to do fucking math at CNN--It was 74 to 26% that = 100%
Edited on Mon May-15-06 01:42 PM by LaPera
That was the results of the poll CNN poll I took a few days ago 74% to 26%

Not the 63 to 26% Are they really stupid, a differnt poll or they don't want it to look too bad for their man Bush?

8. By The Time Shrub's Second Terms Expires, Bill Clinton
By the time that Gee Dubya's second term expires, Bill Clinton is going to look like Parson Weem's portrait of George (I cannot tell a lie) Washington in comparison with the current incumbent and his veep.
