Bush slips in polls

[TheBDB]

CNN poll

More and more people are realizing how bad things are because of Bush. I'm scared of what kind of stuff the Pres and his handlers are going to come up with to take the public's attention away from this.

I guess they could always talk about the recoverying economy. That is simple enough.

Yes they could talk about the recovering economy. Whether it is actually recovering or not is another story.

Seems to me that Bush still has the support of 53% percent of the voting public(according to the poll). I do believe they were predicting a fall off of support after the war much worse than this poll shows. Looks like any candidate running for President still has their work cut out for them.

But anyway - it'd be nice to see what the questions were and how the other questions they asked played out. Seems alot of these polls are cherry picked to make a particular story by the press. It'd be interesting to see the whole poll to interpret the entire context - not just 3 parts.

The thinktank group of economist that produces post recession reported that this recession was shorter and recovering faster than most recessions. The outlook on the economy, while not certain, is looking quite good for growth.

I'd have to say that 53% of the voting public must also still think there's a connection between 9/11 and Iraq. You'll never lose in a poll by underestimating the intelligence of the American public...

if CNN conducted the poll 52% is high since CNN is viewed by liberals

Decidedly liberal, to the point they are mocked as the Communist News Network.
Only in CNN's eyes could 52% be bad.


"the most trusted name in news"

CRAVEN NEWS NETWORK

http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/opedcolumnists/33969.htm
New York Post by Eric Fettmann

CNN chief news executive Eason Jordan yesterday revealed that his network had refused for years to report what it knew about Saddam Hussein's murderous atrocities - even against its own journalists. This astonishing confession doesn't just undermine CNN's claim to be "the most trusted name in news" - it wreaks incalculable damage on all journalists' ability to be trusted by the American people.
In a New York Times op-ed piece, Jordan disclosed that over the past dozen years CNN kept a tight lid on "awful things that could not be reported, because doing so would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqis, particularly those on our Baghdad staff."

In return for its silence, CNN was allowed to maintain a permanent Baghdad bureau - long the only one by a U.S. network in the Iraqi capital.

55% is horrible. You have to expect that less people will vote for Bush than approve of him. In an election you are put up against competition, meaning not only do those 55% of Americans have to approve of Bush for him to be re-elected, they have to think him better than the Democrat he is up against.

Bush has loads of campaign money, but there is enough cash in the groups against him for the truth to be leaked out to the American public.

Only by those on far right. The rest of the world doesn't give a crap.

How about in Zogby's eyes?

President George W. Bush's job performance rating has slipped to 53% positive, his lowest since the terrorist attacks in 2001, according to a poll of 1,004 likely U.S. voters by Zogby International. His negative rating reached 46%, just under his pre-9/11 unfavorable of 49%:

or Newsweek

A Newsweek poll July 10-11 found Bush's approval rating at 55 percent, compared with 61 percent in a May 29-30 survey. Approval of Bush's handling of the Iraq war declined to 53 percent from 65 percent, the magazine said. That same Newsweek poll found that 48 percent of those questioned approved of Bush's handling of the economy.

Are both of those liberally biased? If they are why don't you go here and find one that you can believe, because they all show similar trends.

What escapes the defenders of Bush is that these polls comprise a large portion of republican voters, not democrats with an axe to grind. Bush is losing ground from those who supported him earlier. It didn't take long in his tenure, and has only been propped up by the events since 9/11, when, believe it or not, anyone who was in office at the time would have been given support. When we were attacked, we united as one. That is drifting away now because Bush is now being seen for the fraud he has always been. He is a puppet, and the right wing of the republican party pulls his strings.

Funny, most conservatives complain that he is not being conservative enough(spending). It does not sound like the right wing of party is controlling his strings.

Again TS - you think with your hate not your head. You have no way of knowing who was polled so your first line is speculation at best but more realistically just pure hateful rhetoric. The wain in support was expected even without the left's rabid claims of Lying.

Oh, and the Democrats have no far left strings pulling them? Ha!


Please use your head and leave your hate.

wrong again, CkG. I am not talking with hate. And I referenced the description of the poll takers as was said in the morning news today. I have not searched for a transcript, but one of the newscasters mentioned that tidbit when discussing Zogby this morning. I found it an intriging statement,and so I mentioned it. So what? Can you dispute it?















Thought so.

 

[Moonbeam]

Caddy can dispute anything. It's how he is. The argument itself, however, will of course be quite lame.

"Seems to me that Bush still has the support of 53% percent of the voting public(according to the poll)."

Never underestimate stupidity.

No, what I said was that YOU don't know. I asked the question about the rest of the poll so as to get a better picture of what it was saying. That isn't available to my knowledge. So like I said - it is speculation at best, unless of course you can provide proof stating otherwise. I would welcome more info on the other polls too- just like I said for the CNN one.

MB - I'm sorry if reality is too hard for you to comprehend. Maybe you should go read some poems, they solve all sorts of problems.

Care to add to the discussion MB or DM? or are you both content with attempting to use attacks on my character to speak for you?

What I said was correct and Czar's(thanks BTW) link does nothing to back up TS's claim that "these polls comprise a large portion of republican voters, not democrats with an axe to grind". I said nothing to say that the opposite was true - only that his assertion was speculation at best. Don't say what you can't back up.



Anyone have relevant info on the CNN poll? demographics? other questions included? anything?

CADkindaGUY,
I did not post the link to proove anything, it was just additional material to the issue being discussed here

I think it's the allignment of the planets that's doing Bush in. Any relevant info on Nasa other questions? Anything? You have a nack for the absurd.

Hello? Is anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home?

I do believe that the topic is a CNN poll. Again, MB, do you have any interstellar wisdom to share relevent to the topic at hand?

Czar - OK, thanks for the link to it in anycase.


Why can't the full poll be linked to? It's like they don't want to show the whole poll because it might not entirely fit their story line.
