28% approval rating?
New polls indicate only 28 percent of those surveyed believe the country is headed in the right direction.

What would happen to your state of employment if your approval rating was less than 50%??

1. What would happen? I'd create some fear to make people like me!
Edited on Sat Oct-08-05 07:11 AM by BrainRants
Subway terror.
Washington monument terror.
Give speech on 9/11.
Talk about flu terror.

Check, check, check, and check.

edit: spelling

11. Actually I have wondered about this too. Bush is known for his arrogance
and thinking he is important. I don't think he could handle the truth.

13. I doubt he could.
They'd have to be keeping him in a bubble at this point to keep him from hearing any of the dissent.

Republicans will never believe that. They are so thick.

16. Vote in the poll on the linked page
While you're reading this story at MSNBC don't forget to vote in the poll "Can Bush recover from his low approval rating?", about a third down the page. When I voted it was NO - 82%! ...a nice little bright spot on a rainy Saturday morning!
