[59millionmorons]

New York State voters have sent President George W. Bush's approval plummeting to its lowest rating ever, 42 -- 53 percent, as several Democratic contenders now beat the Republican incumbent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

President Bush had a 52 -- 42 percent approval rating in New York State in a June 26 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University. Bush's previous low was a 44 -- 47 percent approval in New York State in June, 2001.

Gen. Wesley Clark tops Bush in New York 48 -- 41 percent in the 2004 face-off. Other Democratic contenders have gained on Bush since the June 26 survey:

2. Look at those numbers

Sen. Hillary Clinton beats Bush 51 -- 43 percent,
compared to a 47 -- 47 tie June 26;

* Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman tops Bush 49 - 42 percent
, a reversal of Bush's 49 -- 43 percent lead;

* Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry tops Bush 48 -- 43 percent,
reversing Bush's 48 -- 43 percent lead;

* Missouri Congressman Richard Gephardt gets 46 percent to Bush's 44 percent, a tie and a slip from Bush's 49 -- 43 percent lead;

* Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean tops Bush 47 -- 43 percent.

3. Why bother polling?

Bush has ZERO chance of ever taking New York.

That name is seriously hated, throughout the state.

In 2000 Bush lost the state 65-35, the City 80-20 (sic!) and even upstate and Long Island by a margin of 6 or 7 percent.

He has no chance of improving on those results, given the impact of the unfolding depression on the state.

These polls are really bullshit if they show anything like a close race.
