Bush's Approval Rating Hits New Low

Vitas said:
Relatively, in a direct comparison, GWB beats them all.

In the important category of likeability:

George Bush vs.:

Harry Reid
Nancy Pelosi
Howard Dean
Chuck Schumer
Ted Kennedy
Tom DeLay
Hillary Clinton


Americans like him better.
 
Monday April 10, 2006--Forty-two percent (42%) of American adults approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. Fifty-six percent (56%) disapprove.
 
Tuesday April 11, 2006--Forty-three percent (43%) of American adults approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. Fifty-five percent (55%) disapprove
 
Wednesday April 12, 2006--Forty-three percent (43%) of American adults approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. Fifty-five percent (55%) disapprove.
 
Wednesday April 12, 2006--Ninety-nine percent (99%) of surfers on this forum continue to wait for barry to say something interesting. Since his posts are nothing but statistical noise, there will probably be no downtick in these expectations.

How can you argue with the clear trends??

We can quibble over numbers all you want. End result is, his popularity trend has been downhill since 9/11. Its now in the 30's.

Good news is.... I dont expect it to get much lower. Too many fanatics that would approve of his performance regardless of what he does or doesnt do.

You're missing the point (see post #105 and actually read it). I'm not arguing. I'm pointing out that barry hasn't posted anything interesting in weeks, even though he posts in this thread daily. I check it to see if he's said anything new, and - no, same dull stuff every day. Who cares?

Must I explain everything to you people?

Like I care.

I only read to see if you've actually posted anything interesting. Guess I shouldn't hold my breath.

No, your missing the point. I was trying to get things back on topic a bit. GW's approval has been in frefall since the election, and wasnt great before that.

Try to discuss that - not Barry's statistical noise.

Barry, why dont you try to say something with a little more information / opinion.


<ding> Round 4

Fair enough. I made my point, and you made yours. I will now go back to the more interesting threads. :waving:
 
Why don't you just go away like you promised? What have you contibuted that was worthwhile? Nothing, in my opinion.

I will continue posting GWB's crappy numbers just to infuriated pinhead RWW's. It gives me great pleasure to read your responses.

Just remember, Bryan started this by trying to rub our noses in BuSh's climbing numbers. Don't like the posts, don't read them. You have that option.
 
I believe I started this debate not to rub LWW noses in it but rather to offset the media landslide of misleading and often manipulated polling data. I pointed out that if anybody really cared about what polls say, they would be best served to listen to Rasmussen as he was the guy, LIKE ME, that came closest to the real results. You know what they say, garbage in, garbage out, which is what I think of most other polls.

Bush is solidly at 45%. Considering all the people he has hacked off, including in his own party, he is doing pretty well, despite 5 years of the most concerted effort in our country's history to discredit him on a daily basis.

Also interesting, 55% say they are better off now than they were 4 years ago. Bd, bad news for the Dems. People always vote with their pocketbooks. How there is a majority poll saying we are heading in the wrong direction is beyond me. I think it simply reflects the shallowness of the American people for instant gratification without sacrifice.

You said it, barry. Translated: 'I don't make a habit out of posting anything interesting, so don't expect me to start now.'
 
Bryan,

You are truly full of :q:q:q:q. Here is your original post. How many other things were you wrong about, too.

Bush Poll Numbers
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know all our lefties here LOVED to watch Bush sink in the polls. Every day there was a new poll (skewed), with new poll numbers showing Bush in the dumper.

So I thought I would sticky this (See Barry, you are finally right. I am using admin status to bully) so as to inflict as much mental anguish upon you as possible. Again, the ONLY poll I watch is Rasmussen. The most consistent and accurate polling company out there.

Today Bush is at 46%. Up 3 points in a week.

Some more things to happen.

Some truth about Iraq will come out that things are going well with the new Iraq government and US troop levels will start to drop in January after the new government is voted in in December.

Didn't happen

The MSM press will be forced to 'reveal' that the US economy is doing surprisingly well despite the impact of the hurricanes.

Didn't happen

Rove won't be indicted and he will lead Republicans to victory in '06. (Hard to believe, but when people finally realize how long they had the wool pulled over their eyes, they will be pissed at the Dems for it.)

Not going to happen

Gas will continue to drop over the winter although people are going to be plenty pissed about natural gas.

Didn't happen

Bush is finally fighting back and even quoted the mental midget John Kerry yesterday saying Iraq needed to be attacked because they were imminently dangerous.

Some WMD will turn up in Syria.

Didn't happen

Jordanians will lead a revolt against Al-Qaeda.

Didn't happen

Stock Market will continue its bull run.

Didn't happen

It will be revealed the Bush economic run is longer and better sustained than the Clinton one.

?

Interest rates will remain (reasonably) in check.

Didn't happen

And liberals will be exposed for the hypocrites they are.
Fantastic new book out on Barbra Streisand and Michael Moron revealing their absurd hypocrisy. Book is entitled (appropriately): Do as I say, not as I do.

That's friggin hilarious. How about all the dirt on Republicans?

In the book Barbra is shown preaching about conservation yet it is revealed her water bill is $22,000 month. Michael Moore preaches diversity in hiring yet he has only 'hired' 3 minorities in over 120 recent hires. He even says he doesn't own a share of "big money", you know, stocks, when it is revealed that he owns, get this, Halliburton. 1st time I had pissed in my pants since I was in diapers. LOL. And much much more.

Wrong. It did.

Didn't happen

Despite their best efforts to hide it, the truth has come out about the economy. Wrong again.

Rove won't be indicted and he will lead Republicans to victory in '06. (Hard to believe, but when people finally realize how long they had the wool pulled over their eyes, they will be pissed at the Dems for it.)

Not going to happen

Oh, excuse me, was Rove indicted? I thought for sure the news would have covered that.

Gas will continue to drop over the winter although people are going to be plenty pissed about natural gas.

Didn't happen

Finally. Correct.

Bush is finally fighting back and even quoted the mental midget John Kerry yesterday saying Iraq needed to be attacked because they were imminently dangerous.

Some WMD will turn up in Syria.

Didn't happen

Yet. But eyewitnesses with more cred than John Effing Kerry have stated that they were shipped to Syria.

Jordanians will lead a revolt against Al-Qaeda.

Didn't happen

Wrong again.

Wrong. Do you even read newspapers?

Define reasonable. They seem to be in check to me. Remember the Carter years?

I know, I know. Snif snif, why don't I just go away. Blah blah blah. Get over it or keep whining, I don't care.

[But this thread you point out is not the "Original" thread that was started about polling in general. Find that post and we can see what I said back then.]

Today Bush is at 46%. Up 3 points in a week.

[So I guess we are back to the starting point. Remarkable after all the negative and slanted news reports, isn't it?]

Some more things to happen.

Some truth about Iraq will come out that things are going well with the new Iraq government and US troop levels will start to drop in January after the new government is voted in in December.

Didn't happen

[Troop levels have dropped. A new Goverment wil be installed shortly. Elections went off without a hitch. Lots of progress in Iraq. Just nothing the media wants to bring to your attention.]

The MSM press will be forced to 'reveal' that the US economy is doing surprisingly well despite the impact of the hurricanes.

Didn't happen

[Pull your head out of the sand. The ecomony is BOOMING! I'd be happy to post article after article to support this statement.]

Rove won't be indicted and he will lead Republicans to victory in '06. (Hard to believe, but when people finally realize how long they had the wool pulled over their eyes, they will be pissed at the Dems for it.)

Not going to happen

[Rove was NOT indicted, was he? Republicans will not lose control of the House OR Senate. The economy is too good and we have not been attacked yet.]

Gas will continue to drop over the winter although people are going to be plenty pissed about natural gas.

Didn't happen

[Gas did go down and now is going back up with summer demand. Guess you don't buy gas. The chauffer[sic] must do it for you.]

Bush is finally fighting back and even quoted the mental midget John Kerry yesterday saying Iraq needed to be attacked because they were imminently dangerous.

Some WMD will turn up in Syria.

Didn't happen

[Nope, not yet. But it is there and also safely back in Russia.]

Jordanians will lead a revolt against Al-Qaeda.

Didn't happen

[Got me on that one. Notice no more international attacks on muslim countries though.]

Stock Market will continue its bull run.

Didn't happen

[Again, what planet are you living on? Even all my kids stock portfolios are back to pre 9/11 levels. EVERY stock index is up.]

It will be revealed the Bush economic run is longer and better sustained than the Clinton one.

?

[It already is. When Bush leaves office in '08, we'll have had a strong 7 year run.]

Interest rates will remain (reasonably) in check.

Didn't happen

[Unemployment and interest rates are lower than the averages of the '70
s, 80's and 90's. Best in 4 decades.]


And liberals will be exposed for the hypocrites they are.

I see you didn't choose to touch any of my other replies to your post.

No credibility problem with me. Just seem to remember differently how this whole 'poll' thing started. I'm pretty sure I'm correct. I'll stand pat.

Look forward to seeing you discredit my comments and those of Fossten on the same post you made. To be honest, I think I pretty much hit on all my predictions.

:bsflag:
Yeah, on the backs of our children and grandchildren. Have you looked at the national debt and budget deficits since BuSh took office?

National-Debt-GDP.gif
 
In addition, I believe that the "great economy" Bryan referrs to is a false economy based on major increases in government spending that has risen at an alarming rate. You're right, his kids will pay.

Has anyone noted that the bankrupcy rate?

I can't believe that Bryan is happy with the market being where it was five years ago. I don't blame Bush for that but he seems to be giving him credit for it. How lame.

Baloney. Your graph shows a percentage, which (if you bothered to check your history and figures) reflects the high middle class taxes under both Carter and Clinton, which would squelch any economy. It's easy to cut deficits by increasing taxes, duh. The thing your boys never did was cut spending or even the rate of growth, something Bush has actually done.

Your graph also misleadingly charts years that have not yet happened. The fact is that the budget is a smaller percentage in Bush's term than even in Reagan's terms, which just shows how much our economy is booming.

Don't try to play in the big leagues, Johnny, at least until you've taken Econ 101. Your local community college offers it, maybe you should sign up. Come back after Christmas break.:xmas:
