GALLUP NEWS: Bush's APPROVAL RATING at 27%!!!
Edited on Tue Sep-30-08 12:08 PM by musicblind
http://www.gallup.com/poll/110806/Bushs-Approval-Rating-Drops-New-Low-27.aspx


From the Article:

Low approval ratings have become routine for Bush. He has not had an approval rating above 40% for over two years, and only a handful of ratings at or above 50% his entire second term in office. The low ratings throughout much of his second term have arguably been because of the unpopular war in Iraq. But as conditions for the United States in Iraq have improved in the past year, the economy has gotten much worse and has served as an anchor on Bush's ratings.

Bush has registered 28% approval ratings several times this year, in the spring and summer months as gas prices rose. His high rating for the year is only 34%.

The all-time low rating for any president is 22%, for Harry Truman in February 1952. Bush now joins Truman and Richard Nixon as the only presidents who have had approval ratings of 27% or lower in Gallup Polls.

7. My parents do. Ugh. But think about it this way. 100 is the AVERAGE IQ. That means 50% are under and
50% are over. Many people have an IQ close to 80. Everyone just wrongly assumes that the people they meet have an average IQ of 100. The truth is that half of the people you meet are less than 100 and one in four of the people you meet are certifiably stupid.

3. The deluded 20 percenters
I know there aren't 27 percent of americans who are multi millionaires. Anyone who isn't is deluded if they think Bushie has done a heckuva job for them. The power of propaganda.

Watch, no matter how good a job President Obama does, 27 percent of Americans will disapprove.....

11. It's simple. We now know how many monster truck fans there are in America.
Makes tracking THOSE demographics much simpler now.

15. Wherever they live, they must be people who never read newspapers
and never watch any news on TV, not even Faux. They've probably heard that Dubya is fighting the terrorists over there so they won't come here, and all is well enough with their world so they figure * is doing a bang up job.
