    Bush Approval Rating Up

    Bush Approval Rating Highest in 13 Months, Gallup Poll Shows

    Feb. 7 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush's job approval rating rose to its highest level in 13 months, following his second inauguration, the State of the Union address and elections in Iraq, according to a poll by Cable News Network, USA Today and the Gallup Organization.

    Fifty-seven percent of 1,010 adults surveyed from Feb. 4-6 approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president while 40 percent disapprove. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

    It is Bush's highest job approval rating -- and lowest disapproval level -- since a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll taken in January 2004 showed Bush with a 59 percent rating.

    Forty-six percent of the people polled have a favorable impression of the Democratic Party, the lowest level since at least 1992.

    Bush's effort, outlined in the Feb. 2 State of the Union speech, to push for private Social Security accounts may not be resonating with the public, the poll shows. Forty-four percent of the adults polled approve of his approach to restructure the Social Security system and 50 percent disapprove.

    Seventeen percent of the adults polled described the system in a ``crisis'' compared with 18 percent last month, according to Washington-based Gallup.

    Fascism?

    Look at it this way, Apolyton doesn't speak for America. The American people... and me included.. like President Bush as he is a great president.. the best since Ronald Reagan.

    It means that polls are a fickel thing and that a string of good news mostly uninterupted by bad news will poll numbers. Also if the news (good or bad) trickles out and seems redundant it fades into the background of the public's conscience.

    ... that's really setting the bar low for what qualifies as "great"

    Who was the last "great" American president? Teddy R? FDR? Truman?

    So your opinion is that the things mentioned within the comic are false?
    Or do you think that the things mentioned within the comic are true, but nevertheless think the comic is crap, because such things shouldn´t be mentioned?

    I'm happy that Bush is asking for modest cuts to the bloated federal deficit but I doubt they will ever happen. Bush and the Republicans in Congress gave away buckets of money to every special interest they could find in order to win last November's elections and now that Bush won and can't run again he feels safe enough to cut programs. Good, but the Republicans in Congress can and likely will run again thus they won't want to cut anything. Ergo Bush's request for spending cuts is an empty gesture because he knows they won't ever happen.

    Without a balanced budget amendment and (as of yet) no dire consequences from running deficits, members of congress are going to continue running on pork barrel politics. Simple as that. Deficit hawks basically cut their own throats if they can't provide for their district. If I had the U.S. treasurary as a credit card, I think it would probably tempt me too.

    Well with a lot of face time for the inaugeration, the SotU and the (apparent) success of the Iraqi elections, this is a bit of a no-brainer.

    Still what really confuses me is who the hell are the people who voted for Gore in 2000 and for Bush in 2004, according to polls that's about 10% of Gore voters, those people must be really really strange.

    What it means is that nothing suceeds like success.
    "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work...After eight years of this Administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started... And an enormous debt to boot!" — Henry Morgenthau, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Treasury secretary, 1941.
