The president's 31 percent approval rating is the lowest of his career in Post-ABC polls, and represents the 38th consecutive month his approval rating has been under 50 percent. At the same time, the percentage of Americans with a gloomy outlook about the country in the new poll has jumped to within a point of its June 1992 high: 82 percent now think things in the United States have veered pretty seriously off on the wrong track.


Why isn't that SOB in jail yet?

1. 31%?

Wasn't it in the 20's last week?:shrug:

[lpbk2713]

3. I think they are referring to this particular poll.

[livetohike]

5. That's what I thought....must be a different pollster n/t

[Horse with no Name]

7. Yeah ABC is very friendly to this administration

so you can bet that the actual number is probably HALF of what they are reporting.

10. ABC/ESPN tried to give OxyRush a job a couple of times.

But he failed so miserably they had to back out of the deal.

:rofl: :rofl:

12. This is the Disney World approval rating.

Real figures are -- deservedly so -- down the crapper.

21. ABC/WP is always higher than the rest. Their 31%

is NYT's 25-27%

[BrklynLib at work]

2. 18% think things are going well???????????

:wtf:

[liberal N proud]

4. That 18% is the number that have stuck by his side regardless

There has been an 18-19% hard core all along.

[BeHereNow]

6. Yeah, the percent that have gotten FILTHY rich under his tax laws.

THAT percent should go to prison with the rest
of the administration and our congress critters who
enabled him.

13. 18% want to be a firetruck

[BrklynLib at work]

16. hahahahahahahahaha Bet you are 100% right!

[indepat]

8. When not elected, not accountable, and having seized control of all levers of power, no wonder

junior and darth give not a flying f*ck what we the people think, not now or a year ago should they have elected to declare martial law and have no thoughts of leaving? :D

9. Funny how his approval can't quite hit Tricky Dick's...

Nixon was in the mid-low 20s for several months when he finally quit. Even though Bush's disapproval numbers are higher than Nixon's, clearly, there is a segment of the population that feels it's gotta get Chimpy's back no matter what.

But even those folks keep on slipping away, bit by bit.

Still I tend to doubt we'll get a poll-of-poll approval average quite down to the mid-low 20s before the fucker finally leaves the White House. Says something about the gullibility of a frighteningly large number of American citizens, doesn't it?

11. BushCo and the goppers have learned how to manipulate ...

polls and elections since Y2K. That explains why they are in office today. The only reason Shit-for-Brains doesn't appear quite as bad as Millhouse is because of their social engineering efforts.

[mikeytherat]

18. When your focus is, ultimately, trying not to suck as much/more than Nixon

that's really, really pathetic.

19. Talk about UNDERACHIEVERS.

:rofl: :rofl:

20. If they could limbo under the bar they've set, it would defy physics.

14. Yay, this is one of those "lower is better" situations

:D

[libodem]

15. 31% seems high

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2008-04-21-bushrating_N.htm Here's a recent one that's a bit lower.

17. Why has his approval been stuck around 31-33% for a YEAR??
