Gosh, I guess he's not going to get re-elected.

"Bush's approval rating hits new low"

We should just make this a sticky and change the date from time to time.

[slowhand520]

One footnote. He is the only president in history to have 25 different "lowest ever" ratings. (I am being sarcastic)

There is a strong Freeper consensus that polls showing Dubya doing poorly are to be dismissed and disregarded.

I think that any one poll is suspect, but that when you look at several polls and they all tell the same basic story, you can't dismiss the message. The message is clear: Bush is a widely unpopular president of late.

one poll after another... we'll see the same next month (only if the numbers are the same or lower).

Must popularity be judged like a popularity contest?

I guess my question about all these polls which include much larger samples of Democrats is whether they are calling representative samples of America as a whole.

If they are, then the fact that so many more Americans now identify themselves as "democrats" portends very ill for the 2006 elections. Bush is a lame duck and has been a big disappointment to this conservative regardless. So I care less about Bush's poll numbers than the fact that these polls keep showing that about 10% more of the respondents identify themselves as Democrats than Republicans.

The fact that so many polls keep showing this phenomenon is worrisome to me.

Is this from the same poll - "Democrats have their biggest advantage since 1992 when poll respondents are asked if they favor Democratic or Republican congressional candidates. The spread: Democrats over Republicans 55% — 39%, a 16-percentage-point gap."?

If so, I wonder what the gap was in the make up of those polled?

[Hildy]

Let's all be honest here...Except for the WOT, which I wish he would be stonger with, how would we rate him as President? Huh? not to high, I think

[Radix]

Fools respond to polls.

He must somehow deliver a series of potent speeches highliteing success in Iraq. Most Americans have not a clue as to where Afghanistan is located or what goes on there. With all the negatives that the L/MSM have been able to drum into the voters minds, the cards are simply stacked against him.
Problem is how can one provide speeches that will turn the tied. Other then a robust economy, what else can he plug.
The voter is so ill informed on the wot, and lets face it social security, and other things went flop. And the US/Mexican border issues rave on, with little positive movement.
They guy does have a problem, and obvious to us it could spell bad for 2006 republican bidders.

I've got some news...Reuters News Service Approval Hits All Time Low...Film at Eleven.

[threeleftsmakearight]

I remember during the election of '04, Gallup did a poll several weeks before the election showing Bush with a slight lead. Democrats and their leader, Michael Moore, were freakin' out. They even claimed Gallup had some connection with Bush, or some such thing.
I wonder if these same Dems are upset with Gallup now.

[italianquaker]

exit polls say kerry will be the next president so what does this poll say

[new yorker 77]

Is this before or after Gallup gave 90% of undecideds to Kerry on Election Day 2004?

Does the poll include this prophetic gem from Gallup?

Kerry - 55 % vs. Bush 43%
