Poll: Bush Ratings At All-Time Low

NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2006
 (CBS/AP)


(CBS) The latest CBS News poll finds President Bush's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 34 percent, while pessimism about the Iraq war has risen to a new high.

Americans are also overwhelmingly opposed to the Bush-backed deal giving a Dubai-owned company operational control over six major U.S. ports. Seven in 10 Americans, including 58 percent of Republicans, say they're opposed to the agreement. The troubling results for the Bush administration come amid reminders about the devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina and negative assessments of how the government and the president have handled it for six months.

Mr. Bush's overall job rating has fallen to 34 percent, down from 42 percent last month. Fifty-nine percent disapprove of the job the president is doing. For the first time in this poll, most Americans say the president does not care much about people like themselves. Fifty-one percent now think he doesn't care, compared to 47 percent last fall.

Still, the incident appears to have made the public's already negative view of Cheney a more so. Just 18 percent said they had a favorable view of the vice president, down from 23 percent in January.

1. Average= 26% very pathetic

[Clara T]

4. The incredible shrinking man

You're a small man Mr. Bush and getting smaller every passing day.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

13. Damn, he looks out of place there!!!

Frightening. He KNOWS he's out of place.

Does he have little dimestore toys in his desk? Snacks?

"Laura! I'm out of Chiclets! Need some Chiclets for the desk-thingy!"

[Dhampir Kampf]

39. I love it. n/t

[Oilwellian]

47. Here's a more realistic photo

[katinmn]

26. This is my all time favorite by MoPaul

[Canuckistanian]

27. A very small man

[Maru Kitteh]

40. That is STILL one ugly ass rug he spent our money on.

I suppose the asshole will be taking it with him when he leaves. I wonder if it will clash with institutional prison green.

[robbedvoter]

46. he was very proud of it too - chirped about replacing Clinton's!

I have a patethic interview where the topic is rugs...He is actually describing the abomination...

[NNadir]

44. Is that the Encyclopedia Brittanica in the back?

Is this where he gets his info?

Can someone get him to look in the "L" book, under "Laden, Osama bin?"

How about "Warming, Global?"

And while he's in the W's, could he look under "W., Disaster?"

[BuyingThyme]

2. Wow, I missed the Cheney number the first time around.

It's gotta be a record.

[MoonRiver]

3. America awakens after a long hibernation. The startled bear is not happy.

:mad:

[spanone]

5. 18% of those polled are lobotomy candidates.

:crazy:

[Initech]

7. Or are on heavy amounts of pharmeceuticals.

Made, of course, by Bush-supporting republicans.

[neoblues]

9. Or otherwise suffering from catastrophic brain damage. n/t.

[neoblues]

11. Or are pathologically antisocial psychopaths...

I would have said Devil Worshippers, but there's little point in insulting them--especially when even they would probably have better taste than to support Cheney!

[Infomaniac]

36. 18% are brain dead conservatives

Forget picture ID to vote, I bet these folks don't even register a pulse. It's Cheney of the Dead and Chimpie is head zombie.

[hatrack]

45. Candiates? I was thinking "recipients"

:toast:

[neoblues]

6. No wonder Cheney frowns all the time...

It's gotta be tough knowing everybody hates you (probably why he seeks to compensate by achieving power over everyone too).

[demosincebirth]

10. Thats not a frown, its a sneer he was born with.

[neoblues]

12. I like it... it fits. n/t.

[Kansas Wyatt]

8. Oh, How The Mighty Have Fallen

:rofl:

Must be in the final throes.

:rofl:

[neoblues]

14. Or How the Assholes have Fallen Mightily n/t.

[INdemo]

15. I think that is as low as Nixon's and he resigned..........????

[Clara T]

18. Bush Resigns- Cheney Begins Prison Term

[jazzjunkysue]

33. Beautiful. ^snif^

[stepnw1f]

16. Before or After the News of PORT DEALS?

Enquiring minds want to know.

[DenaliDemocrat]

17. Yeah, but will the democrats

do anything about it? If we do not gain house and in the Senate I am officially going Indpendent and I may not even bother to vote.

[Che_Nuevara]

21. I'll welcome you when you cross over :)

But what good is NOT voting going to do?

[Dr Ron]

19. Amazing

Also look at how low the support is for his handling of the "war on terror" and Iraq.

The last guy who had numbers this low wound up walking around the White House talking to pictures of former presidents.

[Rowdyboy]

20. He's approaching low numbers last seen when his daddy was president

And he deserves the bad numbers even worse than George I.

[Stephanie]

22. That's it - they have to throw Dick overboard

He's about to be indicted on Plame, he shot a guy in the face, and he's a drag on numbers. Fortunately, he already bought an estate in MD for his exile. Closed on it during Katrina, if you'll recall. He had other priorities, you see.

[Clara T]

24. As Corrupt as it gets- Dick Cheney

And Rummy Must Go Too!

[smoogatz]

31. Shotgun Dick ain't going anywhere.

He's running the show, after all. But when was the last time he and W had their picture taken together...?

[Halliburton]

23. BREAKING: TWEETY TO SAY SHRUB HAS GOT HIS 'SWAGGER' BACK

citing the latest polls as proof. you heard it here first!

[xiamiam]

25. you nailed that...or "the president remains strong in his convictions"...

when i see tweety and the others attempting to justify any of this, i can only shake my head and think how sweet it will be when they get rounded up with the others who sold our country down the river...tweety should be in an orange jumpsuit right along with his idol...

[smoogatz]

28. In Related News: Bush Goes to India

Or anyplace else that's really, really far away. Lordy--it's pathetic: 34% must be some kind of historic low. What were Nixon's lowest numbers--around 27%? It must suck, having 2/3 of the country think you're an asshole.

[mediaman007]

30. Tweety or Bush*?

[left is right]

32. Would it be very wrong to hope

for a major earthquake followed by a fierce monsoon to take place just as * begins his visit?

[jazzjunkysue]

34. Yes, it would, but, thanks for the guilty pleasure rush.

[smoogatz]

41. Well, yes.

But only because so many innocents would get hurt as a result. A single, well-placed lightning bolt hurled by a vengeful god would be more like it.

[npincus]

29. time to marry the twins off in the Rose Garden!

[Clara T]

37. Wonder How Mumsy Feels About Her Poor Chimpy?

[jazzjunkysue]

35. Maybe George should go on Survivor, Rdneckville, or Desperate Treznits.

That would boost his ratings, right?

[Clara T]

38. Or?

[Clara T]

42. Monkey Tumbles

[IDemo]

43. John Stewart on Cheney:

4 out of 5 dentists recommend sugarless gum. That leaves 20 percent. That means there is a higher percentage of dentists who recommend that their patients chew gum with sugar in it, than Americans who think Cheney is doing a good job!

:rofl:

[Geek_Girl]

51. That's a good one

:rofl:

[realFedUp]

48. has any former President had poll numbers this low?

after polls were taken formally of course...it
doesn't count Presidents who died on the job.

[patricia92243]

49. I won't be happy til Bush is 18%. n/t

[Geek_Girl]

50. See this is what I don't understand

Why isn't Bush's approval rating at 18%. Cheney is really running the show. Cheney's the real president and Bush is just window dressing.
