Bush's approval rating hits a staggering 57%

[yllus]

Polls go up, polls go down. They're essentially meaningless. I told it to the gleeful people on the left when the Bush administration when they dropped low, and I'm telling it to the right now that it's high (relatively speaking).

Guess the Iraq vote helped people change their opinion of the Iraq war, seeing as it was a huge success. Maybe Bush was right after all?

A momentary bump in the ratings and suddenly he was "right after all"? We all enjoyed the images of Iraqis voting. I fear as soon as the results are announced the disenfranchised Sunnis will have a reason to rebel again and it'll be back to business as usual.

There's that liberal negativety I was looking for.

No it was the comment you were looking for so you could denigrate Liberals once again. You are no different than those whom you label Liberal Trolls except you got your money on a different horse than they do.

Now if you were actually interested in an honest discussion instead of a reason to flame you would have countered his statement with a statement of your own explaining why you think he's wrong.

No, it's something I've come to realize about a lot of liberals (not all). They are totally negative about everything. From Iraq, to the state of the country, to S.S. reform, to ANYTHING. It disgusts me, and I just knew that someone would come along with a negative comment about something.

I don't know if this is true or not, but I heard that Bush's approval rating is the lowest in history of any president after being elected/re-elected.

Let's play with some ideas. You say liberals are negative with SS reform. But I say conservatives are negative about the SS system. Ooooh... interesting how things turn around.

Amazing how they call that staggering and I get bashed for embellishing :roll:

Once again, Gallup plays the GOP shill game. Republicans were weighed EXTREMELY HEAVY.

CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll
February 4-6, 2005
Bush Approval/Disapproval 57%-40%

Republicans: 378 (37%)
Independents: 353 (35%)
Democrats: 279 (28%)


Reminds me of that bullsh*t poll that came out during the campaign that had Bush suddenly blasting off to a 14-point lead over Kerry.

Hmmm... I wonder what his approval rating would be if the poll was weighted PROPERLY.

Shhhhhhhh, the Sheeple have no idea what you mean by "weighted",

they may think Bush put on some pounds over the Thanksgiving Holiday.

The liberals are at the point where they do not want the country to suceed.
That way they can pull an I told you so.

They may not try to destroy, but they are very willing to emphasize the negative while ignoring the positive.


That practice is not going to help the "healing" of the country.
The country saw through the last two liberal champions; as long as the liberals play the doom & gloom they are cutting their own throats.

They need to get off their high moral self-serving pulpit and come up with better solutions to govern the country.

Funny considering Gallup's last poll for the election was pretty close to being correct, using the same weighting techniques.

Link to that particular weighting please.

NBC/WSJ Weighting....

R 39%
D 39%
I 22%


CBS/NYT....

R 31%
D 34%
I 35%


Pew....

R 30%
D 33%
I 37%


ABC/WP...

R 27%
D 38%
I 35%


I feel the CBS and Pew polls are probably the most accurate of the polls listed above. The weightings are most valid. The ABC/WP weighting is too heavy the other direction.

I agree they wouldn't have gotten that support. But let's retain perspective on that and not view it through corrective lenses loking into the past. At the time, any official organization in an actual position to know, including the UN, thought Saddam still probably had WMDs or development programs. So it wasn't only Bush that was ultimately wrong in that respect. Many who disagreed that Saddam had WMDs or programs (and most of those weren't in a position to know one way or the other) didn't come to that conclusion until the US announced its intentions to invade. Suddenly they had a change of heart. Off, that.

If you are going to attack another country you better make sure your reasons for doing so are right. Just because others were also wrong doesn't absolve the Dub though many seem to disagree. Unlike Harry Truman, with the Dub the Buck always seems to fall elsewhere.

specifically, at the feet of our military about 5 seconds prior to exploding.

"I voted Republican, but it looks like things are going downhill," said Kenny Sproull of Lexington, Ga., who works in construction. "I'm a self-employed contractor and a lot of Mexicans are moving into the state. We can't compete with them price-wise."

Perhaps this sheep will leave the flock and realize he's been fleeced.

"I love the concept that just because we have a democracy, the definition of "right" suddenly changes. Majority is how we determine our leaders, right and wrong are still decided the old fashioned way." Rainsford continues to be one of the best posters on this board...

 

[Gaard]

Adults were evenly divided on Bush's job performance in January, but now 54 percent disapprove and 45 percent approve. The number who think the country is headed down the wrong track increased from 51 percent to 58 percent in the past month.

Ok, on the count of 3, everyone point to raildogg and say, "Aaaaaaw". :laugh:

Bush's approval rating hits a "staggering" 45%.

 

[Darkhawk28]

Uh oh... even the Gallup poll has Shrub's approval below 50% again.

Will find the CNN/Gallup report in a moment.

[Gaard]

This is just STAGGERING.

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

It's amazing how polls are often considered meaningless....depending on whose side they favor.

 

[TallBill]

Lol, I favor neither side right now, but Polls are stupid. They are created to make money, and not information. I dont trust anything thats done in the name of money.

 

[Red Dawn]

Obviously Polls are meaning less if you have those that give the Dub a 57% approval rating and others that give him >50%

 

[Darkhawk28]

My point is that Gallup has a habit of "bouncing" Bush's approval record after so-called "significant events".

I can almost guarantee you that the latest Bush bounce was artificial and purposely set forth by Gallup. I can also guarantee you that the weighting of this newest poll is more in line to other polls put forth.

But, will we see this newest approval rating poll being whored on CNN? I highly doubt it.
