06/29/06 FOX News Poll: Bush Approval Holding

NEW YORK — A new FOX News poll finds that President George W. Bush is holding onto the gains he made earlier in the month as his approval rating comes in at 41 percent. Most Americans support the government program to track possible terrorist funding, one of the few areas where majorities of both parties agree. In addition, the public thinks people who leak classified information -- as well as news organizations that publish it -- should face criminal charges. On Iraq, more than half want U.S. troops to stay and finish the job.

...

“While Bush has gained a little support across the board, most of his gain from the low point has come by reinforcing his base,” comments Opinion Dynamics Chairman John Gorman. “His political advisers have always been most concerned with the Republican/conservative base and you see a wide range of initiatives both substantive and symbolic designed to rally and motivate that base.”

...

The Bush administration asked the New York Times not to publish information about the secret program, but the newspaper went ahead because it felt it was in the public interest to do so. By publishing the story, a 60 percent majority thinks the Times did more to help terrorist groups than the public (27 percent).

More Americans blame government employees for leaking the classified info (51 percent) than the media for reporting it (28 percent).

:crazy:

The only people they actually ask in their polls are members of the RNC.

[Javaman]

6. According to recent faux poll: moron shits golden eggs!!

In other news, the city of light is no more...

[truthisfreedom]

7. dear Faux nooz, i have a suggestion: if you connect your drain pipes to

your water pipes, you'll save a lot on water and sewer services and be able to effectively isolate yourself from the big-bad-world!

the one thing they never report on is "bring it on!", which helped the terra-ists about 100,000,000 times more than any stinking newspaper article revealing the sick truth about our facist government.

[joefree1]

9. Ok, Bush numbers up, Faux News numbers down

Why do I feel a terror alert is coming.

[MindPilot]

10. Ummm wasn't the NYT one of the loudest mouthpieces for Bushco

during the "rush to war"?

[Joe Bacon]

23. The $¢rew York Time$ sure was a BIG moutpiece for his Ass-Holeyness!

Only the WHORESHINGTON POST kissed more Bush ass...

[Lindacooks]

11. This is a typical lack of logical reasoning skills that's all too common..

especially among repukes. It's like blaming the person who reports a crime for the crime. Not to mention the fact that chimpy et al had been publicly bragging about the SAME PROGRAM earlier.

[gizmo1979]

13. That's impossible.That would mean

that at least 10% of the democrats agreed with them I don't think so Faux News?!

[IndianaGreen]

14. and many of them probably believe that Saddam was behind 9-11

which only proves that there is such a thing as stupid-by-choice.

[Massachusetts]

15. Desperate measures

bring irresponsible actions.

[KansDem]

16. How many of them believe Bush helped terrorists by outing Plame?

Or doesn't FoxNews want to go there?

[Rose Siding]

18. More Fox viewers are likely to believe she wasn't an operative.

[ProgressiveEconomist]

36. Kick

19. I wish collusion was a crime.

The first decade of the 21st century will make the neocons of the 1980s and Reagan look like compassionate conservatives!

Foxnes...pffft...the old Soviet Union would be soooo jealous of Bush and Foxnews.

[Triana]

20. The gov't Employee Who Leaked This Info..

...long before the media published it?

GEORGE W. BU$H

22. bwahhhahahaahaaa

[robcon]

24. Actually other polls show similar numbers

LA Times/Bloomberg 6/29

Overall Job Rating: Bush’s job rating is virtually unchanged from the results in the same April poll – 41% approve of the way he is handling his job, while 56% disapprove. In April it was 39%-57%.

26. 2/3rds of Americans want criminal charges brought against...

the media? I don't believe that number. It's too high.

[magellan]

29. 2/3rds of Americans want criminal charges brought against FAUX

That's more realistic.

[Vidar]

27. Maybe 60% of faithful Fox viewers.

[Puglover]

30. You have to remember that this is

60 percent of Bushes last major base. The TFM. Total. Fucking. Morons.

[MODemocrat]

31. Fox News Poll Indeed

:silly: :silly: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Faux....Please tell us another one before that one gets cold. Nice Try though.

[LynnTheDem]

33. "people who leak classified information should face criminal charges"...

like BUSH?

Or does the King of America get an exemption.

[SOS]

34. Complete BS

Opinion Dynamics specializes in creating the desired results for their clients.

From their web site:

"In addition to working with clients whom (sic) are trying to achieve a specific end at the ballot box, we also regularly work with clients who influence policy and legislation in other ways. We provide clients with research that both helps them develop a public relations strategy, and illustrate public support for their positions."

This poll isn't worth sh#t.

35. So NYC was the greatest city on 9/11 for its courage

but now its a bad place.
