Bush approval hits new career low

You really have to wonder where the 28% comes from.

Mental hospitals? Jails? Trailer Parks? Militia and Aryan Church Organizations?

Bush doesn't care. He's not running for anything. He's trying to figure out how he can double the $8 million Clinton's gotten from the federal government in his soon-to-be retirement.

That 28% will be voting for McBush.

The liars in this Republican administration have not only ruined their own reputations they've ruined our countries reputation. The only difference is we as a country are going to be left to clean up their mess while the criminals in BushCo will live high on the hog for the rest of their lives with the money they stole from us.

A vote for that crazy old man McCain is a vote for a third term of the Bush/Cheney disaster:

One of those interesting facts like Snow is Cold, or Water is Wet.

Poll must have a 28% chance of being wrong.

I don't care what history says about Truman. If people at the time didn't care for him, then history shouldn't whitewash his presidency just because, "Hey, guess what, things turned out okay after all."

There could be a lot of reasons why things turned out okay that had NOTHING to do with Truman or any other president.

Just as some presidents benefit from what someone else set up before them (see GH Bush - Bill Clinton on economy), other presidents make adjustments that spare their predecessors (see Carter - Reagan on Iran).

In GW's case, it's going to take a deft hand to make the decision to invade Iraq smell like a rose.

Of the final 3 major candidates, ONLY Obama has ANY chance of straightening out GW's mess. As Joe Biden noted, Obama is the only one who is willing to talk to Iran and Syria about Iraq. The other two want to either stay the course until the Muslim world says "Uncle" or pull the troops out and let the place burn.

The choice is ours. And frankly, I don't care what people choose to do; but the endgame is pretty obvious.

It is unfortunate that President Bush has sunk to new lows. If he had only been honest with us, the citizenry, and the rest of the world, he wouldn't be in this position. His choice to further the Republican agenda, and line the pockets of some corporations, and individuals, has gotten him in this sorry state. My fervent hope is, when the Democrats get into office, in both, The Presidency and Congress, they begin a thorough investigation of where all of our monies went and all of the unconstitutional decisions made. Someone must pay for the missing billions and torturing of prisoners, to name just two of the possible crimes committed! It is a sad legacy that this President Bush has to look forward to: abject failure.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE. NOW.

It amazes me that anyone, anywhere, could possibly still back this administration. However, I don't think McCain deserves to be lumped together with the current group of liars and thieves. McCain has been screwed once by Bush (in the 2000 primaries); now it appears he will lose this year due to his need to get the bushies in the Republican party behind him (thus alieniating everyone else).

I'm surprised he has even this level of approval--proves that there must be a lot of morons in the country. I just hope and pray it brings on a Democratic landslide in November. McCain will not change things at all and we need a whole new direction.

As I can recall the last president who had approval ratings this low was Nixon and impeachment was scheduled prior to his departure. Why isn't anyone doing this to this moron of a president...or shall I say, maniac....a true president would not have the country nor the world in the shamebles that this man has created the past 8 years.

As it's been said, don't complain, if you don't vote.
So, those of us who do vote, must vigorously encourage every adult we know to 1. Take a deep interest now in what candidates really believe AND 2. to get out and vote, too!!!

What I find hard to believe is that 71% of the people at one time supposedly approved of this moron's performance.
Between the cowboy swagger and that idiotic sneer, this man will go down in history as the worst president of all-time, and the rogues gallery of evil incompentents he has gathered around him will live forever as a stain on this proud country's history.

I couldn't have written it any better, Rita. The unfortunate aspect to all of this, is, he will be living off of our tax dollars until God calls him home. He didn't earn it and he doesn't deserve it!!!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE. NOW.

he'll be in the negative ratings before he leaves office. i'm 46 years old and this guy is the worst president i've ever seen.

Bush only ever enjoyed high ratings because of 9/11.

Remember his own remark, reportedly made in Chicago, about "winning the trifecta"?

Americans went paranoid over 9/11, clinging to the legs of Bush like a big frightened puppy. It was a ridiculous over-reaction to the facts of the matter.

They have partly come out of that weird state and seen Bush for what he always was, an incompetent and a highly unethical man.

The day after McCain Beats "Odrama" in the general election will be a fun one! The Republican Party awaits the next lamb that the Democrats serve up. If America doesn't want Radical right winged Bush anymore, then how will Radical Left wing Odrama be the answer.

Man I thought they were talking about his IQ!

So far, there is not a single favorable comment about the president. Could it be that there is no one out there who would make a favorable comment?

28% still approve? i'm surprised it's even that high ...

maybe they meant "28 approve", which would include his family, close staff & maybe the family pets.

Please don't blame the Jews. They hate Bush, hated Nixon and Carter was never a loved one. Blame the men for their own selected policies.

Bush is the dumbest and Carter is a close second...but he is a Muslim lover without shame...even the extremists. The actual enemies of the world. At least the others didn't love the Nazis.

"Americans went paranoid over 9/11, clinging to the legs of Bush like a big frightened puppy. It was a ridiculous over-reaction to the facts of the matter. They have partly come out of that weird state"

I suppose Mr Canada will now go on to say the reason many countries in the world, including Canada, stood in solitude over 9/11 was because they were under some weird paranoid frightened puppy syndrome clinging to this one mans legs due to some "over reaction" to the facts of the matter....

Once again-- Canada populated by humans. Mr. Canada-- populating his own planet in a far away galaxy.

id vote for bush again he is better than clinton or hussein obama

It may be low but he's still more popular than Congress. Doesn't say much for them now does it.

28%? That high? Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Well... as sad as it may be. We as a country elected him. So we as a country are going to suffer. Hopefully these polls indicate that some of these people, more specifically the finicky, I can't decide who to vote for, swing voters, have figured out what is important to them beyond sound bites and who would you rather have a beer with. Because in the end, no one can say they voted for this man due to his intelligence and ability to lead. If they do.. they're a liar and we know why they voted for him, like most conservatives vote, they voted with their wallets.
He rode the coattails of dad though his entire life and we were dumb enough to elect him, not once but twice. Shame on us!

Bush has low approval ratings because he's the worst president ever. Cong has low approval ratings because it has failed to do anything about Bush.

No, Congress has low approval ratings because it still has republicans.

Those who look forward to Bush being gone and McCain becoming president need to understand one element of politics that is ALWAYS missed by most of the public: the NeoCons who have ties to the Nixon, Reagan, Bush I and Bush II Admins. will be in McCain's - even if they don't want them to be. McCain has had to dance and make promises to the Neocons in his party, and they will have a place at the table and will sway his decisions. It is telling when the most moderate of conservatives, Colin Powell, will not come out and support McCain

One small consolation in all this is that (hopefully) GWB has insured that another Bush will never even be elected dog catcher, let alone president.

Heckuva' job, Dubya!

I meet a man in the Bahamas, from Alabama, who just sold his company for half a billion. He thinks that Bush will be remembered in history as one of the greatest presidents ever.

Please don't blame the Jews.

What!!??

As for extremism, Israel backed South Africa during apartheid.

So I wouldn't get so high and mighty.

It appears that FINALLY the general public is agreeing with what I've felt since the beginning.
Unfortunately we're still stuck with him for another 8 months and nearly three weeks.
I'm frightened to see what kind of damage he can still cause prior to his departure. After all, he's been using the US Treasury as his own piggy bank the entire time he's been in office.
Let this be a lesson to those who vote based only on party affiliation and one-viewpoint issues.

Congress' "approval" is pretty much down to staff, their immediate family and their own immediate family's.The Buckleys of this world are going to have a terribly hard time spreading the lie that McCain is at all like Bush. Everything in McCain's foreign policy speech runs 180 degrees opposite of Bush with the exception of wanting to win the war. Plus, there's the simple fact that McCain has had an uneasy relationship with Bush since 2000. It's going to be nigh impossible to spread that lie, especially when McCain is going to every state and taking questions from all comers, including inner city voters that republicans have long ignored. In contrast you won't see the Obamessiah or Hillary going into the rural south. Heck, Obama won't even take questions from reporters let alone hostile audiences.

The 28% work for or have stock in the oil industry.

Well the price of oil really blows apart one criticism of the Iraq War; it certainly is NOT about the US receiving additional oil.

I think Iraq needs to pay us back for what it cost us all to rid the world of Saddam Hussein. Lets see...... what do they have a lot of that we could use???

People elect really bad "leaders" from BOTH parties (ie, Carter, and those of us suffering in Illinois have Blagojevich as governor and Todd Stroger in Cook County).

Obviously, education is failing us, if people elect such terrible "leaders".

This president can care less about what the American public thinks---it is the large corporations , that he made great profits for ,he cares about--he knows when he is done his boys in big business,particularly the oil companies will take good care of Georgie and family-

I am proud to say that I NEVER approved of Bush. Not before he was elected, not after. Not before 9/11, not after.

Apparently I'm one of the few who are not deaf, dumb, blind, and stupid.

Seems to me a lot of people thought highly of George Wallace in the late 50's and early 60's. Turned out they were wrong.

It's hard to imagine having a more incompetent person as president. I remember Carter, I was 10 years old when he was up for re-election and I disliked him based on the media coverage he received. Now that I'm older it amazes me that Americans put this mental midget in office not once, but twice. Well really once, since he stole the 2000 election!

Where's JeffJohnJerry defending the most incompetent president in US history?

Some people knew well enough, like myself, to see how horrible of a leader he was going back to his days as a Texas governor. How sad more people didn't realize that glaring fact until it was too late.

Who knows how long this country will continue suffering after he's gone.

I think Bush is trying to best Truman's all time low. There is not much time left, but I think he can do it. Just keep on keepin' on.

Congress hasn't gotten anything done because every time they try to get something substantive done the "president" VETOES IT !!! Better food for children in schools (more vegs and fruits, to be specific)...crumbling roads and highways...not to MENTION bridges!!! We're ON OUR OWN !!! No money for anything else...it's ALL FOR THE WAR !!! I've even hoped his PARENTS would try to talk some sense into their BABY BOY... BUT THEY MUST GO ALONG WITH EVERY MOVE HE MAKES !!!

Funny about all the negative comments about Carter.

Perhaps you all forget that Carter was the one who predicted that the oil wars were going to come. Perhaps you all forget that Carter was the one who tried to get the U.S. to switch off the oil teat. Perhaps you all forget that it was Carter that tried to make energy independence a moral equivalent to war. Perhaps you all forget that it was Carter that tried to make sure that the nation never imported any more oil than it did in 1977.

Yes, Carter was a terrible politician, but Carter was right on when it came to energy. Our oil dependency is what has allowed the terrorists to make money and what has forced us to make war in the Middle East. Had oil not been an issue, Iraq and Iran would be like any other useless country.

Eventually people will wake up and realize, like Carter did, that energy independence is national security - that the profits of oil companies is secondary to the security of millions of Americans.

Hello Bush bashers, His ratings are higher than your Democratic congress.!
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Carter also achieved something no other president has; A peace deal between Israel and Egypt, a major Arab power.

Also, he helped create our nuclear capable navy, under Adm. Rickover, a weapon that helped contain the USSR, and win the cold war.

He also created an agency to develop alternative energy sources, which was gleefully killed by Lessor Salamander Gingrich.

Drewman,
I don't know whom or what you are trying to say. Carted didn't steal the 2000 election.(?)

The margin of error must have been 27.9 so that leaves him friendless and by the number of exfriends bodies on the whitehouse lawn to clamor over from rumsfeld, gonzo, ashcroft, rove, libby. we will be lucky to find even .01% of a person to claim to have ever voted for him. In that regard, he was decided by our supreme court by 5/4 and they should be accountable for his dismissal and anti american acts, they picked the worst president in america ever. the people have spoken.
