Congratulations to Dubya! The lowest approval in the history of poll taking! He can add this triumph to the recent poll of 109 historians in which 98% viewed his presidency as a failure.

In this poll, 69% disapprove of the job Bush is doing, and 28% approve.
That's proof that Bush is the most divisive president in history--only 3% didn't fall one way or the other.

Yet somehow the talking heads are trying to convince us that this country will vote another Republican in. Wen pigs fly they will. We may not be the smartest nation on earth but we are smart enough to know when we have been hood winked. I have been saying this for yearsssss now "HE IS THE WORSE PRESIDENT EVER." It's now being proven!

Yet, Congressional ratings consistently lag even lower. Looks like a plurality prefers Bush.
Was it Not2Needy or Engineer who said polls are BS when Clinton overtook Obama nationally in the daily Gallup poll? I see Obama has regained the lead, but still can't get a simple majority in his own party.

Hey Libsrfunny, I used to be a democrat and leaned toward liberal,(now independent) but now I'm not sure what that means:-) And i say that because the current white house has staked out some pretty liberal and democrat territory if you ask me!!
My question: If you still support Bush, why? He is not a true conservative, has made the biggest power grab of any president and basically re-written the constitution, which I find scary. I believe Bush is just doing what he is told to do the same as everyone before him Democrat or Republican, just so you know.

Um...if your only defense of the HORRIBLE job Bush has done as president is to tear others down. I don't think that counts much as support.
Don't you see that tearing others down only brings you lower? You are the one who looks like a moron when all you can do is say, "that person is bad too!"

Wheeee! Here we go again with comparing the prez's approval ratings with congress. That sure makes ol' shrub look absolutely attractive don't it? It's amusing that you don't try and claim Clinton was unpopular worst and first.
An approval rating made for each individual member of congress would indicate that most members enjoy a plurality of support. The ones that don't, don't get re-elected. About the only ones that have approval ratings as low as bush, are the few that are under indictment or have been caught in the men's room with a wide stance.
Your poll comparisons are silly. Why a poll like that is even conducted makes no sense. If congress were EVER as unpopular as the polls have historically suggested, there would never be any incumbents. Congress as a whole always polls low, no matter who the majority party is.

Not having a simple majority doesn't matter; what matters is that we're having a dialectic in our party, while the RNC is merely sharpening their knives and beating the bushes (not the right ones, unfortunately) to get out money for their Swift Boat effort to sink whomever is the Democratic contender. It's not about who will be the better leader to you, is it? Congress has lower ratings because of dummies like you who don't get that our founders actually wanted three separate bodies to balance our gov't...we got out of balance w/ W, and due to the RNC's plan to dominate the Justice system, will stay that way until some of the rightwingers on the Court die off. In the meantime, Congress' hands are tied and the RNC says "told you so," a refrain used by bullies and small minded neoconpoops.

I can't think of a single reason why anyone would approve of Le Muffette's record.

Sadly the man will leave office much wealthier than when he came into it and, unfortunately, he will probably not be taken to task for his heinous offenses. What percentage of the American populace will have benefited from his administration? Can't be a very high percentage. In eight years he has managed to dissolve the middle class. He has bankrupted the nation both fiscally and morally. How in the hell does he retain even the historically small number of supporters? He's a total disaster.

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Somewhere down the line, Bush either forgot this piece of scripture or rejected it.
He is paying the price and will pay an even bigger one in due season.

Bush will pay the price if he doesn't repent (yes, depending on your religious beliefs) or otherwise admit to his mistakes and actually regret any of it.
But, meanwhile - WE are all PAYING for it, HARD. And so will our children and grandchildren, saddled with an astronomical national debt and floundering economy along with the consequences of unrepentant corporations that continue to rape and pollute the planet.

Bush & many Republican Congressmen are trying to get a law passed that will give the President and his top administration members immunity from being charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity. However, such a law would be unConstitutional because of the many treaties the USA has ratified which demand the prosecution of individuals involved in certain such crimes. These treaties trump any law Congress passes because the US Constitution gives them (the treaties) the same force as the rest of the Constitution. Besides that, making him immune would be spitting in the face of International Law & making the USA a rogue nation, subjecting our Pres. & past Pres. to arrest & trial & imprisonment if they leave USA shores - - the same thing we do to Serbia, Kosovo and several other nations.
