Poll: Bush's position against Kerry stre ngthens

“Don't worry. Straight's good pal Rush said it was all just a frat boy prank. He kinda liked that pig pile.”

“He does like to pile on.


The right seems really quiet today.”

“We just moved to a new office at work, I'm to busy to flame against your liberal posts today.”

“Flame on, brothers and sisters!”

“Bush Ratings Fall Amid Iraq Woes

President Bush's overall approval rating has fallen to the lowest level of his presidency, 44 percent, in the latest CBS News poll, reflecting the weight of instability in Iraq on public opinion, despite signs of improvement in the economy.

Two weeks ago, 46 percent of Americans approved of the job President Bush was doing. On April 9, his approval rating was 51 percent.

American's opinion of Mr. Bush's handling of the economy is also at an all-time low, 34 percent, while 60 percent disapprove, also a high of the Bush presidency. Increasing employment is seemingly not affecting Americans' view of Mr. Bush's economic policy.

Just as startling, the poll finds that for the first time a clear majority of Americans disapprove of Mr. Bush’s handling of the war in Iraq, believe the United States is not in control of the country and think U.S. troops should turn over power to Iraq as soon as possible, even if the country is unstable.

The highest figure ever recorded, 64 percent, say the result of the war in Iraq has not been worth the cost in lives or money. Only 29 percent, the lowest figure yet, believe the war has been worth it. And just 31 percent of Americans now say the United States is winning the war.

"The public is just very unhappy with what has happened in the war," said Robert Shapiro, a professor of American politics and public opinion at Columbia University. "We are talking about perceptions of the war that are akin to the public’s perception on Vietnam, or lower."

Though the majority of Americans disapprove of President Bush's handling of the war, the public remains split on whether the United States should have taken military action against Iraq in the first place: 49 percent think it was the right decision, 45 percent think it was not.

Fifty-eight percent of Americans now disapprove of the president's handling of the war in Iraq, while 39 percent approve. In December 2003, the numbers were reversed: 57 percent approved of Mr. Bush’s handling of the war, while 36 percent disapproved.

"It means that the public is very dissatisfied with the way things are going. They are still divided about the decision but are not divided about Bush’s stewardship of the war," said Andrew Kohut, director of the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press.

"We have in our poll for the first time a majority saying things are not going well and that reflects numbers greater than it was even during the Shia rebellion two weeks ago," he continued, referring to a Pew poll that also showed equally low approval ratings for the president. "These pictures have made people even glummer over the way the war is being waged."

“Can we have early elections?”

“Kerry Sucks!”

“That's President Kerry to you.

Get over it.”

“Just in passing, I heard a political analyst say he hadn't heard an endorsement like that since George McGovern praised Tom Eagleton.”

“Yeah right! U! What would you do if he was elected. You wouldn't have anything to #&%!$ about. Plus you couldn't post your billion cut and paste items. Like I said. Get over your self-hatred!

PS... U Suck!”

“It's going to be an interesting 6 months, that's for sure!”

“

What is happening?”

“America is waking up, wiping the sleep out of it's eyes and saying: "okay, no more oxycontin for me. I quit."”

“"What is happening?....."


Damn thing looks like a Christmas tree fell over.



Oh, how symbolistic!”

“

WHAT! You mean the majority of Americans think he's doing a piss poor job in Iraq too?!”

“

Please excuse the graphs and charts. I have found it's easier to communicate with republicans using pictures and bright, shiney objects.”

“

I guess these folks must not have received a tax cut.”

“"Please excuse the graphs and charts. I have found it's easier to communicate with republicans using pictures and bright, shiney objects......."


Naw, Repubs like and use graphs......when they can find them......!”

“LMAO Q!”

“Where's straight and his cut and paste response?”

“We'll see those after Mrs. Limbaugh gets done listening to her man on that new fangaled Ray didie O!”

“You also have to consider people who don't have phones, and mainly use cell phones. I'll bet the don't get a phone call for a poll. Someone here said something about a landslide for Kerry, it's sounding more probable.”

“Also, after GWB did his little bus tour in Ohio, he lost points in the polls out here.

Kerry will take OHIO, mark my words.”

“Kerry will also carry Michigan. It's a big story in this past weekends paper up over in here.”

“It's my impression too that when he gets on the TV or out in public and people really see him perform that people are awestruck at how inept he comes across. It's kind of scary. I was talking this weekend with a guy from Cleveland who told me of a Republican friend who after seeing the last news conference finally gave up on Bush.
The tide is turning. It's more Bush than it is Kerry.

After the mess Bush has created or made worse, who would want to follow?”

“I was the one predicting a Kerry landslide. I've been saying it around the office for the last couple of weeks. Drives my Bushie boss crazy. (That and the village in Texas missing it's idiot button you sent me which is displayed on my computer monitor.)

I'll hold to my pledge to poop in my pack if Dubya gets more than 45% of the popular vote. If Kerry gets more than 55%, I'll poop in strat's pack.”

“Hell, I'll have to teach strat basic algebra, but it would be worth it!”

“by Neal Bortz Esq.

I have recently viewed polls that show our beloved GWB is behind in polls regarding his popularity and one-on-one match-ups with Kerry. This is all bunk! First of all, all of the polls were comprised of homeless people, which statistically speaking don't vote republican. Second, because of the nice weather, most folks haven't had time to pray for GWB, which might explain this anomily.

According to a poll that I conducted, Mr, Bush is leading in every poll by 30%. Of course, I took this poll with my head up my a$$, but it is still more accurate than CNN, Pew, Zogby or Gallup polls. They poll people with thier head out of thier a$$, which is highly inaccurate.

I just sent another 300 bucks to Kerry's campaign. thanks for the extra motivation, Vio!”

“Looks like Bush has a lead amongst men in this country, while he gets hammered by the women. Phaed, laq, Violin, Tilt, Buhdda and gang... you look lovely in panties.

:Þ

REAL MEN VOTE BUSH. Women, well, they like Kerry's puppydog-like droopy eyes.”

“Hey Buck, isn't it a sin to bear false witness?

Phaed, laq, Violin, Tilt, Buhdda and gang... you look lovely in panties.


Sinner.”

“Father forgive me, but Phaed, you do look cute in panties! Not that there's anything wrong with that.”

“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's husband. fuggoff, man, I'm taken.”

“I have a question for the libs.

Would you like to see the economy continue to grow strongly in the next couple months, with a million new jobs added, and that we find a big stockpile of WMDs buried in the sand, and we catch Osama, and the transition in Iraq goes smoothly and violence subsides? Would you honestly like to see this in the next 2-5 months, and things only get better and better for America?”

“Buck is right.

There's nothing more attractive than an overweight middle-aged white guy in a thong.”

“I'd also like to see everyone win the lottery, cold fusion and contact with an advanced species from another universe who give us the gift of world peace.

As long as we're telling fairy tales... might as well dream bigger.”

Who you calling white?”

“Hey, I'm a special person living in the South and I can most assuredly teach Buddha algebra, and calculus, and differential equations, and.... the list goes on.”

“Me, cracker.

I ordered one of these



this morning and I'll be modeling it for Buck as soon as it comes in.”

“I swear to god, if you post a picture of yourself in that on a thread without warning me, I'm going preemptive.”

“Phaed, I didn't think you'd answer.

1. The economy is strong, do you wish it to continue and jobs continue to be created in great numbers? Or do you put your disdain for Bush above what's good for Americans, regardless of who's in power?

2. Do you hope things improve in Iraq?

Of course you won't answer. That's okay, I stink I know what your response would be if you were completely honest.”

“Don't worry. I'll wax first.”

“Phaedrus - but wouldn't it then be too late for a preemptive strike? Use your logic Spok.”

“Great, I had to mention waxing in another thread and now I get blindsided with it by V.”

“Estrogen for Kerry, Testosterone for Bush.”
