2. This Country Deserves To Fail

THIRTY ONE FUCKING PERCENT???

This country is an absolute JOKE!

[RedEarth]

3. How in the world can 31% still think he's doing a good job...

......that's a scary group of people....

6. 31% is unreal. Give me a limited amount of time, let me set my own

criteria, and I can have his approval rating up to 50%.

The results are what you make 'em.

9. It's amazing

What crisis hasn't the president done a terrible job handling? Can 31 % of population be that Teflon that nothing going on in Bush America is hurting them?

4. He'll be in the low 20's by election day

I don't know about Iraq, but this economy will finish off what is left of his approval rating.

5. What a great milestone. Who said he was an underachiever?

Couldn't happen to a greater ... asshole.

7. I thought it was lower actually....

I thought it hit 28 or 29% not long ago.

Its pretty much just the 29 percenters John Dean described in his book behind him at this point.

10. It's probably around 18% but that would be bad PR....n/t
