Bush's Approval Rating Remains at All-Time Low - Optimism About Country's Future Fading - Suicidal Neocons Vow Resurrection of Bush God |
Bush's approval rating remains at all-time low
Optimism about country's future fading
Updated: 6:37 p.m. ET Oct. 7, 2005
WASHINGTON - Evangelicals, Republican women, Southerners and other
critical groups in President Bush's political coalition are increasingly
worried about the direction the nation is headed and disappointed with his
performance, an AP-Ipsos poll found.
The growing unease could be a troubling sign for a White House already
struggling to keep the Republican Party base from slipping over Supreme
Court nominee Harriet Miers, Gulf Coast spending projects, immigration and
other issues.
"Politically, this is very serious for the president," said James Thurber,
a political scientist at American University. "If the base of his party
has lost faith, that could spell trouble for his policy agenda and for the
party generally."
Public sentiment about the nation's direction has sunk to new depths at a
time people are anxious about Iraq, the economy, gas prices and the
management of billions of dollars being spent for recovery from the nation's
worst natural disaster.
Only 28 percent say the country is headed in the right direction while
two-thirds, 66 percent, say it is on the wrong track, the poll found.

Can Bush recover from his low approval rating?
Those most likely to have lost confidence about the nation's direction
over the past year include white evangelicals, down 30 percentage points,
Republican women, 28 points, Southerners, 26 points, and suburban men, 20
points.
Lowest approval rating of his presidency
Bush's supporters are uneasy about issues including federal deficits,
immigration and his latest nomination for the Supreme Court. Social
conservatives are concerned about his choice of Miers, a relatively
unknown lawyer who has most recently served as White House counsel.
"Bush is trying to get more support generally from the American public by
seeming more moderate and showing he's a strong leader at the same time he
has a rebellion within his own party," Thurber said. "The far right is
starting to be very open about their claim that he's not a real
conservative."
The president's job approval is mired at the lowest level of his
presidency - 39 percent. While four of five Republicans say they approve
of Bush's job performance - enthusiasm in that support has dipped over the
last year.
Almost two-thirds of Republicans strongly approved of the job done by Bush
in December 2004, soon after his re-election. The AP-Ipsos survey found
that just half in his own party feel that way now.
The intensity of support for Bush's job performance has also dropped
sharply among white evangelicals, Southerners, people from rural areas and
suburban men.
"We've lost focus on where we're supposed to be going and not able to
respond to the crises that affect the people of this country," said David
Ernest, a Republican from San Ramon, Calif., who is angry about the
government's response to Hurricane Katrina. "We're mired in a Middle
Eastern adventure and we've taken the focus off of our own country."
Seen as having a political agenda
Bush has tried to reassure conservatives about his Supreme Court nominee.
He's also trying to counter critics of the war by tying U.S. efforts in
Iraq to the larger war against terrorism. And he's made frequent trips to
the areas devastated by hurricanes Katrina and Rita to offset criticism of
the government's initial response to Katrina.
Even those efforts get viewed with suspicion by some.
"I just think the president is doing things for political reasons, not
what's right for the people," said Traci Wallace, a Democrat from
Tallahassee, Fla. "Every time he makes a trip to the hurricane zone, he's
blowing a million dollars."
Of all the problems facing the country, the continuing war in Iraq is the
one that troubles some Bush supporters the most.
"I approve of what the president is doing, but it's a mixed decision,"
said Richard Saulinski, a Republican from Orland Park, Ill. "We should get
out of Iraq. It seems like there's no light at the end of the tunnel. I
just think we're dealing with a culture we don't really understand."
The poll of 1,000 adults was conducted by Ipsos, an international polling
company, from Monday to Wednesday and has a margin of sampling error of
plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Bush's popularity isn't important.
You fucks in America had your opportunities to get rid of these
motherfuckers, and now you'll have to live with the consequences.
Stop whining, assholes...

investigations ... :-)

Nixon's landslide win over McGovern marked him as tremendously popular
(over 70 per cent approval right after the '72 election. He had him eatin'
peanuts out of his hand for awhile. He seemed almost politically
omnipotent at that point. A rather stupid illegal scheme -- the Watergate
B&E -- seemingly motivated by the fear of losing the election cost Dicky
very dearly. This Bush creature has been, and still is, involved in a
number of illegal and unethical schemes. No telling how this will end
exactly, but it's gonna' be really nasty.

With Bush tho, it's hard to tell if he's really aware of any of them ...
the guy seems like he'd be challenged just wiping his *****.

Just to clarify, there's no evidence that Nixon had any knowledge of the
hare-brained scheme to break into the Watergate hotel and spy on the
Democrats. It was an incredibly stupid idea, and Nixon was certainly
wrong to engage in covering up knowledge gained of it after the fact,
but none of it was remotely akin to lying to Congress and the United
Nations for the sole purpose of invading a country. In comparison, the
Watergate incident looks like a fairly mild college prank.
