It’s not 28%.

Please don’t use personal hyperbole to justify the fake poll of two news organization that engineered it to hurt America and our troops.

It sounds like these supposed “Bush voters”, who really, really “hate” him now because of gas prices for which he has nothing to do with, his “corruption” (???), and consider "winners" the Islamic cultists who blow up women and children in Iraq, are inflicted with BDS, therefore useless.

Very undependable voters I’d say, easy prey for pandering, consprazoids, and dependent on government.

Good thing they aren’t Republicans.

You are in denial.

You’re right, it’s not likely 28%, but it’s not 40% either. Dubya has been stuck in the mid 30s for a while. He has settled there, and that’s where his popularity most likely rests now.

People on here need to get out more. Bush has, about, 0, support. Now before you think I am being all MoveOn.Org on you, it is important to note, as I have previously, that much of this non-support comes from Republicans/conservatives who believe he has insufficiently been Republican/conservative enough.

If we have any hope of competing in the 2008 election, we need to accept that reality and plan accordingly.

Democrats who won formerly Republican areas need to be exposed for the corrupt, lying, hypocrites they are. Even the Cleveland Plain Dealer (known also as the New Dealer, the Crack Dealer, etc.) has caught St. Theodore of Portsmouth (AKA Governor Strickland) in an unconstitutional power grab. http://www.cleveland.com/politics/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/opinion/1178354086234600.xml&coll=2

But no Republican in Columbus will do anything to keep this story alive. They'll bend over to Strickland just as the RINOs in the House did.

Back to national politics: the GOP needs to find the un-Bush to be its standard-bearer in 2008. Do I know who this is? No, but I hope it's Fred Thompson right now. Some may think it's Rudy, or McCain, and that's fine, too.

Newsweak's polling and sampling may be questionable, but no one is doing anyone any favors by pretending his approval rating is near the 40s.
