Bush Approval Rating: 91% Vs 17% biggest Gap since started measuring in 1948.

[dmcowen674]

The Gallup Organization shows the same division found here in P&N:

3-10-2004 Electorate polarized over Bush

President Bush is running for a second term in a more polarized atmosphere than any president since the Gallup Poll began measuring the partisan gap in presidential job approval. To the extent that Republicans love Bush, Democrats loathe him.

91% of Republicans and 17% of Democrats approved of the job Bush is doing. No other president has had as big a gap since Gallup began measuring job approval by party in 1948.

The numbers are "ironic for a guy who came into office pledging to be 'a uniter, not a divider,' " said Stephen Hess, a presidential scholar..

Three Bush campaign advisers, speaking on condition of anonymity, said he will try to deal with the polarized electorate by:

? Making few new proposals meant to satisfy conservatives.

? Emphasizing tax cuts and other issues that appeal to voters in the middle.

? Working to ensure that loyal Republicans turn out to vote.

? Depicting Democratic candidate John Kerry as too far to the left for mainstream voters

It's the country that does the voting. They should be able to tell that he's planning on mortgaging the future

Unfortunately and Sadly not true. People that are bought by the highest bidders of a party win the bidding and the vote of appointed "Electoral College" delegates and they do the voting.

Anyone with half a brain can see that. Thats why 91% of republicans are halfbrained dimwits.

It's too bad the south did'nt win the civil war. We could have all those neaderthals staying or moving to the south while the rest of us move foward. As it is the division will continue with the south shoring up the rights support

And 83% of the Democrats are twits that think they'll spend less.

Last I checked, it wasnt just the south. It was the vast landmass of the US. From the heartland, to the midwest, and yes the south too. Do you people honestly think the division wouldnt be that same if Gore was president? This divison was here when Clinton was the President. This polarized electorate didnt just happen over night, nor over three years. It wasnt as high as it is now, but it was still there. What the issue now is, the left has an irrational hang up on Bush. Much like the irrational hang up the republicans had on Clinton.

Ueah I dont see anywhere, where Kerry has pledged to cut spending. Other than the military. He wants to raise taxes, not cut spending.

But...but...he pledged to cut the deficit IN HALF by the end of his first term!!!

Now where else did I hear that....

Here, I'll do the math for the 83% of the twits, and keep in simple numbers:

Bush: Spend $110
Tax: $100
Deficit: $10

Kerry: Spend $120
Tax: $110
Deficit: $10

Simple enough? Oh, all this chanting about "fiscal responsiblity" was just while Dean was around. Now it's back to the standard ~but.

right on.

I remember during Clinton's term a lot of right wing nuts making wild claims about Clinton and related conspireses'.

I still hear the same type of stuff about bush, just from people on the left.

What taxes is he going raise? Be specific so that can be anylized. If not, then its just your typical anti democrat flame.

ASSWIPE BUSH goes to Ohio and claims he can feel their pain to the 170,000 unemployed manufacture workers. He says they need to get retrained for the 21st century. HUH? This joke of a leader you so love doesn't tell you how thats going to be paid for, does he?

I work in State government. Here is a clue. The state raises taxes for another of ASSWIPES unfunded mandates. All Bush can claim for his economic plan is shifting the burden to the states. Are you so blind you don't see that?

And tell me wisenhiemer, what military tax cuts is Kerry calling for? The one that just shut down the Apache helicopter development? That is on Shrubs watch, jacko!

Most people vote not having thought about the candidates but simply because "I vote republican" or "I vote democrat". I propose a vote to draw and quarter these people.

Good post, yes I know a bunch of old timers that do that. In fact some states still force you to vote what they call a party ticket. In other words once you pick either a dem or rep that you have to pick all dems or all rep down the whole ballot. That is so wrong.

That is so Utah. :| The primaries are blocked and local issues as well as some major elections are segragated by party affiliation.


Skoorb, is that dyslexic for Brooks? Or is it meant to be viewed in a mirror?

That's not an open Election. Where is Carter to fix elections right here in the U.S.?
