Bush approval falls to 28%
Who are these 28percenters?

-snip-

President Bush's approval trend has taken a sharp downturn in recent weeks, to fall to a new low for the administration at 28.3%. This follows a lengthy period of stable approval at around 32-33%.

Recent polls from Gallup and AP/Ipsos put approval at 28%, a new low for the Gallup poll. Harris recently found approval at 26% while CBS News put approval at 28%. Pew similarly has approval at 28%, though the Diageo/Hotline result for registered voters (as opposed to adults in the other polls) has approval at 35%, the only recent poll over 30%.

8. May each and every one of the 28% voluntarily submit to being tortured by
a combination of inhumane techniques they overtly support being applied to others: otherwise, they are nothing but two-faced cowardly hypocrites IMNSHO. :D

9. I think the 28%ers break down something like this:
Right-wing bloggers and radio/TV talk show hosts - 1%
Ultra rich people who only want to get richer - 1%
Crazy apocalypse-worshipping fundie nutjobs - 8%
White, middle-aged, church-goers - 5%
Marketers and advertisers - 3%
Middle-managers - 2%
Ego-centric college republicans - 4%
Hard-core racists - 4%

13. Unfortunately 90% of that 28% seems to be the DC Beltway journalist class.

14. Stand everyone up and let them declare their loyalties.
One by one the 28% will fall.

15. My guess is its the fuggin' Born-agains. They see him as their own, they won't abandon him.
Any delusional asswipe that believes adam and eve were walking around with dinosaurs wouldn't have a bit of trouble staying with Bush no matter what.

16. Everytime that scumbag
