This poll is meaningless.

Even if it's 10% off, he is at 32% approval. If it's 20% off, it's 35% approval.

Denial isn't a river in Egypt.

What math are you using?

Hi Hitman. Bush lost all of the polls by huge percentages during the last election when "adults" were polled yet he won the presidency.

This poll means nothing.

Even if the polls say the President's "job approval" is at minus zero I wouldn't give a fig. I don't need no stinking poll to do my thinking for me. I stand with this President. Period.

Amen. Anytime one doubts that we on the right have just as many blind kneejerks as the left only need read a FR thread in which a poll with bad news is announced. It's ALWAYS discounted as meaningless, while the positive ones are trumpeted from the cyber-rooftops.

Are they biased? Of course. Virtually everything about the current U.S. infostructure is liberally biased, from cradle to grave. Does that make every poll with bad news (from the conservative perspective) "meaningless?" Unfortunately, no. Dubya's popularity is in a dismal state and that's obvious to all but the blindest. Rah-rahing won't change it, either. Only Dubya can change it, if he decides it's important to have the support of a reasonable percentage of the people. For now, it appears that it's not important to him.

The poll does prove one point yet again that all conservative politicians would do well to learn: Liberals are gonna hate you regardless of your positions. Let's face it, they should be tickled pink with Bush's stance on immigration, but they hate him as much as they ever did. Being nice to them NEVER works. EVER. (Not that I think being nice to them is what's behind the Bush immigration policy.)
