Bush's approval reaches new low

[realpolitic]

According to a Zogby poll, Bush's approval, has reached a new low - 45%
Only 2 years ago, his approval rating was 82%. Looks like my prediction was right, next November, he won't be able to beat Woody Allen.

well, 82% was artificcially hi, a donkey would have had that rating after sept 11th, and his rating was low enough before it happened.

besides, he didn't 'win' the last election, he dosn't need to 'win' htis on.

Good - Maybe America finally understands that monkeys with typewriters can do a better job than this idiot has. I can't believe he's ****ed up the *one* thing I agreed with him on...

[The Andy-Man]

IIRC, an institute in England put a few monkeys and a few computers in the same room. All they did was bang on the case, piss on the monitor, and repeatedly type 'S'.

But it still sounds like they could beat Bush.

With a 51% turnout last time, this must be the first time in history that the entire population of the world is more interested in one state's election that the citizens of the state itself.

This election will effect the world far more than it will effect the USA

Poll: Democratic Field's Wide Open

When I looked at the result of the poll it does not look as bad as you guys paint it to be. Personaly I think everyone of the people running on the Democratic side would not be very good president.

I think that if Bush can get the attacks to subside in Iraq he will get a good chance of winning in Nov. 2004 and that is still a year away and I think its way to early to tell when the democrats have not even picked who they want to run to go around saying who is going to win and who is going to lose this election.

Iraq can't save Bush now. He has nothing to gain there and a lot to lose. The best he can hope for is basically nothing, and if it blows up, well...

Nobody in the US is going to give a rat's ass about Iraq, if the economy does not regain the millions of lost jobs from the past 2.5 years. The Democrats can run Sponge Bob Squarepants, Sparky the Penguin, or Gary Coleman, and they'll still win.

It doesn't matter what the stock market's doing, it doesn't matter what housing is doing. Bush is virtually certain to be the first president since Herbert Hoover to preside over a net loss in jobs in the US.

Hoover didn't get a second term either.

I have seen mix news on the economy. On one hand consumer spending is going up, but on other the economy just lost anther 90,000 jobs. I know because I myself been looking for work for the past 3 months and have not gotten anything yet. But the economy might rebound with in the year it might not.

I though dont think a president is responsible for a good or bad economy. Though government can really screw things up I dont see how they can make people go out and buy more things to increase demand and have companies hire more people.

[GePap]

Spending is up due to all the refinancing of mortages..that can;t go on forever. The economy grew 3% last quarter due to the war..but that is not sustainble. I ams rue the economy can continue to grow at 2.5%-3% for a few more quarters, but that does not seem enough to gain jobs, if after this last quarter 90,000 jobs were still lost.

I'm pretty sure he could beat Woody Allen. It depends what kind of handicap you gave ol' Woody. I don't think Dubya could beat Woody if Woody had a katana. If he had a knife it would be a close call. Maybe we should send a petition to Celebrity Deathmatch. That would be fun.
My wit runneth over. Woo is me.

Jesus couldn't stop the attacks in Iraq. Terrorism in the Middle East has continued unabated since '48. Before he was he was Emperor, Bush ran vertually ever company he ran into the ground. He's not someone who could run a "Mission Impossible" team.

Where are all the neocoms hiding - the ones who said I was a leftwing nut? It's harder to label me nuts now that America has woken up.

Well, a monkey would be a better president than any of the 9 democrat candidates.
