It's SURVEYUSA time! What's Bush's approval in your state? Come join the fun!
Edited on Sun Nov-19-06 04:11 PM by Grebrook
State-by-state listing of Bush's approval rating:
http://www.surveyusa.com/50State2006/Approval50StateBushApproval061116.htm

Take a guess what Bush's approval is in your specific state and then sound off as to what SurveyUSA marks it off as:

I'm from NJ, I guessed it was about 31%. It's about 32%, 65% disapproval. 11 other states have higher disapproval/lower approval numbers. That surprised me. We'll have to try harder next month!

How about your state?

3. Sort by "net approval" (click on the purple line)
and you'll find that Bush's approval rate exceeds his disapproval rate in only THREE states!

9. That's strange, in RI the idiots rating went up 2 points.
Must be a anomoly, last few months he's been at 22/23%. I bet next month we're back on top and the approval rate will drop back down to 22% (or lower).

13. Bush is a uniter, he's made us all Democrats
Bush said he is uniter, now we finally know what he meant.
Americans are finally united, we are all Democrats now.

16. Even here in Bush's home state of Texas he only has 41%
approval. His designated successor as governor, Rick Perry, only got 39% of the votes to (Democrat)Chris Bell's 30%, with two other independents running. I never thought bush would get this unpopular in the biggest red state of all.

24. 26% approval, 72% disapproval
:rofl:

I want to know who these 26% are in Massachusetts. I rarely see a W sticker anywhere here.

26. I'm disappointed RI is up from 24% to 26%
I was so proud of RI being the lowest bush approval. (sigh)
