"Questions about Bush's use of prewar intelligence, in addition to feeding doubts about his honesty, have sent his performance rating plummeting. Fifty percent of Americans approve of the job he is doing, the lowest level of his presidency in Post-ABC polling and down 8 percentage points from January. The survey found that, for the first time since the war ended, fewer than half of Americans -- 48 percent -- believe the war was worth fighting, down 8 points from last month. Fifty percent said the war was not worth it."

"The survey found a steep drop in public perceptions of Bush as a president and as an individual. In a sign that Bush has been set back by recent controversies over Iraqi weapons, his National Guard record and the federal budget, the number of Americans viewing him as a "strong leader" has slipped to 61 percent, down 6 points from December and the lowest level since the 2001 terrorist attacks."

"Bush's rating on handling the economy stood at 44 percent, down 7 percentage points, with nearly half of the public saying they are worse off now than they were when Bush became president three years ago. Six in 10 disapprove of the job Bush is doing creating jobs. On education, 47 percent said they approve of the job Bush is doing, down 8 points from January. And his rating on health care has also fallen."

There is just TOO MUCH good material to quote here. Read the whole article, save it to your hard drive, put it in the hope chest so that you can share it with your grandchildren one day.

2. Wow, and it only took 3 years of Stalin-level lying to get it this low

I'm not sure whether to be hopeful at the numbers or be freaked out that, after all he (they) have done this is as bad as it gets.

3. The survey found that, for the first time since the war ended,

Wars over why are our troops still there dying? Glad to hear the war is over, that means no more American deaths. :crazy:
