Bush’s Approval Rating Hits Record Low

Posted on May 8, 2006

The 31% mark is the lowest of his presidency.

USA Today:

WASHINGTON President Bush’s approval rating has slumped to 31% in a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, the lowest of his presidency and a warning sign for Republicans in the November elections.

The survey of 1,013 adults, taken Friday through Sunday, shows Bush’s standing down by 3 percentage points in a single week. His disapproval rating also reached a record: 65%. The margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points.

“It is a challenging political environment,” acknowledges Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, “but we are confident that ultimately voters in November will recognize that a Democrat Congress would simply not be equipped to ensure either economic or national security for our nation.”

bush means what he says: poll numbers mean nothing when he can retain power through other means other than elections. connect the dots, the major one being a military person in charge of the cia. rumsfeld did not send ALL the troops over to iraq.

GWB doesn’t appear to be the type of person who easily “gets it.”

If his approval rating hit ZERO I don’t think it would even cross his mind that he’s perhaps not performing to the standards expected of him by his EMPLOYERS.

But then, he just might be thinking: ‘the population elected me TWICE… they must be dumber than I am… so I’d better stay on to guide them!’
