POLLS are meaningless and are just drivel...another waste of money and effort. There are POLLS of POLLS.

Forty-two percent (42%) of American adults approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. That's the lowest level recorded ever recorded by Rasmussen Reports.
Fifty-six percent (56%) Disapprove, including 41% who strongly disapprove.
America's consumer confidence remains low. According to the Rasmussen Consumer Index, it is down 11 points over the past three months and barely above the post-9/11 level of confidence.
Just 33% give the President good or excellent ratings for his handling of the situation in Iraq. Thirty-nine percent (39%) say the U.S. and its allies are winning the War on Terrorism.
Overall, the President earns Approval from 49% of entrepreneurs, 41% of government employees, and 40% of those who are private sector employees. Forty-seven percent (47%) of Investors give the President their Approval along with 37% of non-Investors.
Does anyone see the polls hitting bottom anytime soon? I feel it may be too late at this point(obviously not for Bush but for other GOP candidates in '05 and '06, and judicial candidates). Bush should have fought back against all of the lies the past couple of years, as should the GOP leadership.
Their unwillingness to fight back against the outrageous charges has done immeasurable damage to the perception of the GOP - for years to come.
What a disgrace
Ras polls are bogus.
Too bad this isn't golf, the president would be the leader in-the-clubhouse!
Right, whatever. This isn't even a "weekend" poll either.
First of all, it's a poll of ADULTS not RV.
Second if you look at the number, 41% strongly disapprove. All else either 59% either somewhat disapprove or approve in some fashion. I have a feeling when gas hits $2.00/gal later this year that number will be halfed
If a pollster called and asked me, I'd say I disapproved of the job Bush is doing.
And I will continue to say that until he ends his love afair with illegal aliens, which is to say, the rest of his presidency.
Bush could call in Gonzalez TODAY and say "we've got laws on the books prohibiting employers from hiring illegal aliens- start prosecuting now."
His low is still higher than the low's of our most "popular" or "successful" presidents....
Bush doesn't care about polls..good for him!!!!
The poll prez was clinton...he did everything by poll...and he was obsessed with his pole too.
When you spit on your base this is what happens
POLLS are meaningless and are just drivel...another waste of money and effort. There are POLLS of POLLS.
No, it's gonna get a lot worse. (a) The indictments are coming next week; (b) GWB seems to think that the way to shore up his support is to push quasi-amnesty for illegals; (c) evidently GWB is gonna cut a deal with Specter to not veto embryonic stem-cell research funding in return for getting Miers confirmed; (d) evidently the GOP leadership is preparing to abandon the push to extend the tax cuts.
I disapprove of a number of things regarding the President right now. Immigration, Miers, Spending, etc. That doesn't mean I don't support the President or that I won't vote Republican in the next election. I do think he has a lot of clean up to do. I'm sure I'm not alone in this sentiment and these Polls never reflect that.
Only a true Kool Aid drinker could discount this poll, considering the high level of disatisfaction even here on FR with Bush.
Are you ignoring that too, or are critics of Bush's policies simply "DU disruptors?"

He's damaged goods, no doubt about it ... and he has only himself to blame. One bone headed political blunder after another ... starting with his inept handling of the Katrina situation and now the farcical Miers nomination to the SC.
I concur. Call me a one issue voter if you must but this is the be all to end all as far as I'm concerned. This twisted and misguided amnesty lite policy will negatively affect our country for generations to come. I'm seeing the results here in northwest Florida already. Our Wal-Mart has bilingual aisle signs. Just this week the local BP posted signs on the door in Spanish saying they will cash (the illegals) payroll checks. It's like we are losing this country day by day. Before I get tagged as racist, I fully support legal immigration and I believe Hispanics and any other race that take the time and effort to become legal citizens should enjoy the same benefits I do. If Bush sells out his own citizens for the benefit of Vicente Fox's citizens he should be impeached. He doesn't have the right to give the country away.
