Conservative Wall Street Journal Poll:Bush Approval Ratings

Bush Approval Ratings
Sink to Lowest Point in Presidency

President Bush's job approval ratings are at their lowest point of his presidency as only 40% of U.S. adults have a favorable opinion of his job performance and 58% have a negative opinion, according to a Harris Interactive poll.


The war in Iraq has climbed to the top of a list of issues Americans say it's most important for the U.S. to address and the economy is now viewed as the second most important issue, according to the poll.

At the same time, Vice President Dick Cheney's approval ratings slipped to 35% from 38% in June, while Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's approval ratings dropped to 40% from 42%.

 

Don't fool yourself the President and especially
Karl Rove watch the polls.

These are historically low polls for a sitting
President...in other words he is making history.

And these lowerering poll numbers are an indication he is out of touch with the American
people.

It is significant if he does not want to get
overly lame in his lame duck years and be abandoned by Republican congressman.

His management is being evaluated by the American
people and they have a right to let him know.

Osama Bin Laden and his neglect in capturing or
killing him is abysmal and needs to realize if he
does not do that ..he will be the worst President
in our history.


Old Regular every time I see your name I think of
times when Gas was cheaper...another reason bush
the oil man (who brags about it) poll numbers
are down as well.

Gas $2.61 a gallon reminds people once a week
how good bush is as an oil man.

 

cmg that is one big apology for someone who is
doing a terrible job and is out of touch...his
management style hearkens(pun)back to his days
of Arbusto and how he runs companies into the ground and others are left holding the tab..by
all means he should be held accountable..and I stand on my statement if he does not catch or
kill Osama Bin Laden he will be the worst 8 year
President in our history ..and the polls are a part of history as well and are etched in stone
for future reference.

By all means Rove tells them to care Hardsheller
and the point is Historical low numbers are being
met..even lower than Richard Nixons at the height
of Watergate.

Polls are done Scientifically(Oops! I mentioned
Science)and measure the pulse of the nation ..we
have several polling sources but they all seem
to be within range of each other.

ARC has bush at 36% that is a historic low
WSJ/Harris(conservative)has him at 40%

The pulse of the nation is showing bush is out
of touch. imho

Another reason Rove tells him to care is the
2006 mid terms.

Another reason Rove tells him to care if the
American people tune bush out then bush and his
policys are tuned out and if he is out of touch
then people tell and write their congressman who
pass it along to rove...it is related.

Cheney and Bush may deep in their hearts do not care and that only exposes how they use and fool the electorate but they are told to care because
rove tells them to care if anything for a decent
legacy.

 

Another apology for bush ..which is fine
when will bushbots take responsibility and stop making excuses for this out of touch president who has a track record of running things into the ground.

"Washington, D. C. is full of turf protectors, obstructionists and back stabbers whose only concern is their own interests"
=Who controls the Congress!?

Remember bush ran as a leader and not as a
deceiver but it seems that the later is the norm
and mix that with p.r. gimmicks and you do not
have a commander in chief ..you have a cheerleader
in chief with very little substance. imho

So Hardsheller are you saying the polls are unscientific .

"You really Believe George W. Bush or any president can actually do everything they desire to do."
= boy never said that but bush is the executive
branch and his party also controls congress that
is without question..are you saying even his own
party is deserting him Hardsheller. Just take
the marriage amendment promise which garnered him
a lot of votes in 2004 ..I see that as a big
gimmick he perpetrated on those whom he got
excited to vote for him and now he shows them
the curb...we all agree the President has the
bully pulpit..but he has not said a peep or lifted
a hand to follow through on that promise ..so the point is , he obstructs his own promises. Another
is his leadership in the price of oil he actually
said this:

BUSH: It's an issue I know a lot about. I was a small oil person for a while in west Texas. This is an administration that's had no plan. And all of a sudden the results of having no plan have caught up with America. First and foremost we have to fully fund -- heat which is a way to help low income people in the east to pay for high fuel bills. We need an active exploration incentive in America. We need to explore at home. You bet I want to open up a small part of Alaska. When that field is online it will produce one million barrels a day. Today we import one million barrels from Saddam Hussein. I would rather that a million come from our own hemisphere, have it come from our own country as opposed to Saddam Hussein. I want to develop the coal resources in America. Have clean coal technologies. We better start exploring it or otherwise we'll be in deep trouble in the future because of our dependency upon foreign sources of crude. (now he said this 5 years ago ..well guess
what we are in trouble..my salient point where
was his leadership for 5 years and please do not
use the excuse he was obstructed..again who controls the Congress).

He made this enormous flip
flop in 1999:Gas Prices :
Mr. Bush was critical of Al Gore in the 2000 campaign for being part of “the administration that's been in charge” while the “price of gasoline has gone steadily upward.” In December 1999, in the first Republican primary debate, Mr. Bush saidPresident Clinton “must jawbone OPEC members to lower prices.”

As gas topped a record level of $50 a barrel this week, Mr. Bush has shown no propensity to personally pressure, or “jawbone,” Mideast oil producers to increase output.

A spokesman for the president reportedly said in March that Mr. Bush will not personally lobby oil cartel leaders to change their minds.

Again flip flop deception..saying things to get
elected but once elected gets lazy just as he
was lazy when he ran a business.imho

Again polls show the pulse of the nation scientifically and they are showing him out
of touch. imho
back at you
Me thinks you really don't get it Hardsheller?
