Predictions on Bushs next poll numbers ?

[Twist_U_Up]

I say a whopping 20%

[proud patriot]

1. I'm guessing the teens

[jackbourassa]

13. I say mid-30s

This is another issue - like Katrina, which Republicans will turn on him over. For Bush to fall significantly under 40% - he has to begin losing his base of hard-core republicans (which make up 38% of the population).

[SeattleGirl]

2. Mid to upper 20's

and falling.

[cynatnite]

3. I'll be hopeful...

25% :evilgrin:

[Tactical Progressive]

4. Mid to low 30's

The hardcore won't budge no matter what. Another group has so much invested that they won't switch.

[demosincebirth]

17. I agree with you. 35%

[stepnw1f]

5. teens (nt)

[Seen the light]

6. 30%

My parents vehemently disagree with Bush on this one, but they still can't bring themselves to say they disapprove of him. I expect the same of many Freepers.

[ClassWarrior]

10. Ask them if they approve of how he's weakened national security with this.

NGU.

[Erika]

7. At least 13% will adore W even if he spawned the devil's child

Another 20% will vote R regardless of facts.

So about 33% is my prediction.

[Burried News]

8. 33% Time to outsource the polls to a Middle Eastern country?

:evilgrin:

[marmar]

12. Thanks for the extreme LOL...

:rofl:

Introducing the new Presidential Tracking Poll, brought to you by Kuwait.

[Twist_U_Up]

16. lol but not out of the realm. nt

[Kahuna]

9. 35%. The sheeple are watching American Idol and the Olympics..

Ignorance is still bliss in this country.

[dchill]

22. "Ignorance is still bliss..."

It's also self-defense, these days.

[Jack Rabbit]

11. About thirty-five

He has a very loyal base who will stand by him as he stabs their mothers.

[proud patriot]

15. Hi Jack Rabbit

:hi:

[Jack Rabbit]

44. Hi, Proud Pat!!

/s/


My mark placed here with assistance from
the University of Kansas

[bbinacan]

14. 28%

[spindrifter]

18. 19%

[stevietheman]

19. I also wonder where the Bush-Be-Gone Index will be heading...

it has already taken two significant upticks in the past several days.

[dchill]

20. Bushs next poll numbers...

will be up to the machinations of CNN, Gallup, Rasmussen, etc. As always, they will be higher than they are. Like the stock market. It's corporate magic.

[Twist_U_Up]

25. but how obvious can they make it look ?

I mean everybody knows hes a dumb bastard.

[dchill]

28. Not everybody.

The other dumb bastards don't know. Neither does a majority of the press. They deliver the massaged Bush numbers like Moses with the stone tablets.

[xiamiam]

21. well if rove gets indicted....it will be 13 to 18%..i firmly believe those

are the true numbers of supporters...the rest is fluff..just my opinion...

[Texacrat]

23. I call no change

Bush is not the only President to deal or potentially deal with vetoes and even overridden vetoes.

[Twist_U_Up]

26. You still here ? good

I forgot to say Welcome to DU !!:hi:

[theHandpuppet]

24. But the point is, does it matter?

The lower Bush falls in the polls, the more he digs in his heels and thumbs his nose at the American people. No respect for us, for Congress, for the Constitution, for our troops, for our poor, our hungry, our jobless, for the homeless in NOLA, no respect for our right to privacy, for the rule of law, for freedom of the press -- NADA, NOTHING, ZILCH.

Bush's numbers could be in the single digits and he'd respond by doing something even more outrageous. With every passing day he increasingly morphs into the kind of petulant, sadistic despot even Nero might envy. Resistance only emboldens his resentment and spiteful fits of revenge. I only fear that Bush will respond to falling poll numbers by launching yet another war! Bloody tantrums on a global scale. After all, this ignorant and sociopathic meglomaniac believes he is the divine messenger and certainly not answerable to us mere mortals.

[Katherine Brengle]

27. Cheney's at 29%... ha. n/t

[Babel_17]

29. Nixonian

Blood is in the water, cue the long delayed feeding frenzy.

People no longer LIKE Bush even if they might support items from the menu that is his agenda.

Taking a bite out of Bush on any issue now carries less risk of hurtful e-mails and whatever else was muting the watchdogs of executive excess and mismanagement.

It will be a giddy feeding frenzy.

[reDEMption]

30. I'm confused...

Everytime I see a post like yours (which you certainly have every right to make) I always hear, in the back of my mind 'What difference could it possibly make? Bush already IS the president--and he can't run again--so what's the fascination with his approval rating?'

It sure doesn't bother HIM...

[Babel_17]

31. The Mandate factor

Yeah, it's overrated but congress critters do have an understandable tendency to defer more to a popular president.

And the media uses the numbers to justify giving more or less air time to presidential critics.

[Twist_U_Up]

36. Well ...........

After 5 years of this nightmare,every bit of negative press he gets brings me everlasting joy.

[peekaloo]

32. 34%

[hopeisaplace]

33. 2 that's just 2 not percent. Condi and Karen.

[BrotherBuzz]

34. 40%...

assuming they take poll in RNC headquarters. :rofl:

[proud patriot]

35. That's harsh dude

:rofl:

[BrotherBuzz]

39. As my old pappy used to say "Call 'em like you see 'em"

:shrug:

[Twist_U_Up]

37. Yes harsh

I love it :toast:

[laheina]

43. It's times like these,

that I wonder if they don't already. :shrug:

[Swamp Rat]

38. 32%

With a lot of fudging.

[TheWraith]

40. In the range of 28 to 34.

It would be a huge blow for him to go under 30. But all that he's basically got right now is his base, the ultra-conservative 30%, plus the roughly 5 to 10% that will rubberstamp him due to "protecting America." He's going to lose big chunks of both with this thing unless he comes out tomorrow morning and does a complete 180 degree flip flop. It'll take more time for his numbers to go lower than that, because this base he's got is extremely resistant to change, but he's doing his best to fuck it up.

[SeattleVet]

41. Follow the dropping * as he does his impersonation of his poll numbers...

[saltpoint]

42. After 5 years of Dubya, Dick, Don, and Kindasleazy bellowing about

imminent terror attacks, demanding billions to pay for "the war on terror," and lying about WMDs, I think even thick-headed red voters will begin to accept the fact that their beloved president is dumber than bag of hammers.

I haven't ruled out the possibility that many of those voters are dumber than he is, but I try not to think about it.

Approval ratings drop for Bush to 34%. Cheney holding at 28-29%. Support for the Iraq occupation falls another couple points. This presidency is over.

And several purple-district GOP Congresscritters decide not to seek re-election.
