Polls: Bush doesn't get good marks on the environment.

[GOPBasher]

These numbers are good, but they should be better. Bush should have a 100% disapproval rating on the environment. But nonetheless, this is decent news.

39% think he's doing a good job protecting the environment.
50% think he's doing a poor job.

29% think the environment's getting better.
63% think it's getting worse.

1. Good gravy, who are the people who think the...

environment is getting better? Those are some powerful weeds they are smoking.

[GOPBasher]

2. Republicans who think that no matter what, things are better

because Bush is in office. Facts don't mean anything to them.

[Ironpost]

3. like minded assholes

[rodeodance]

10. about the same % who still believe linke alquida and Iraq.

[rumpel]

4. People who think Armageddon is near, and it should be speeded up

[GOPBasher]

7. Yeah, in that case, the administration is doing a great job! :-) n/t

[calimary]

5. Um... this is news to anybody?

Man. Things just get sorrier and sorrier here in this country.

[GOPBasher]

6. Yeah, like I said, it should be 0% approve, 100% disapprove. n/t

8. People simply don't know better.

The so-called "energy" bill in the House:

- includes $12 billion in tax breaks for energy companies
- allows drilling in the Alaska Wildlife Refuge
- shields petroleum additive companies from legal action

Meanwhile, 51% of people in an AP/AOL poll say that gasoline prices are becoming a financial hardship. How many of these people are looking at mass transit or alternative fuels?

Folks are being kept busy with social hot-button issues while the planet goes to hell. The only way to make this better is to take control. That means finding every way possible to convince a certain number of voters that their health and security depends on a healthy planet, gain a majority in municipal and state legislatures, and evventually at the Federal level.

9. You're absolutely right, and welcome to DU!

:hi:

[Mercury_Rising]

19. Thanks all for the welcome. Good to be here. N/T

[CottonBear]

11. Excellent first post! I agree completely.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[calimary]

12. Also, when all you hear is "Clear Skies Initiative" - what is the average

blockhead supposed to think? I mean, it's not like we're getting anything about the other side of the story, or heaven forbid - the truth about this UNtruth in advertising.

But yeah, I'm surprised that anybody gives even a shred of approval to what this bastard has done to our environment.

BTW - welcome to DU! Glad to have you here! We need you! Now get to work.

20. Hi Mercury_Rising!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Mercury_Rising]

26. Thanks for the welcome! N/T

13. I guess we can file this next to the "Bush not sexy" poll!

Interesting, though, that even some of the people who think he's doing a good job (39%) don't think the environment is getting better. (Just 29% believed that.)

[GOPBasher]

16. That's called being an idiot. n/t

[Vickers]

14. "39% think he's doing a good job protecting the environment"

:wtf:

That's just ghastly stupid right there.

[GOPBasher]

17. Yeah, that's the American electorate. n/t

[ClassWarrior]

21. No, that's a segment of the American electorate. Go back to bashing...

...the GOP, and quit bashing your fellow Americans, please.

NGU.

[GOPBasher]

23. I'll bash whomever I want.

When 39% of the people think Bush is doing a good job protecting the environment, something is wrong. It should be 0%. The media in this country doesn't tell the truth about anything, and thus we end up with unbelievable ignorance in the general population.

[radfringe]

15. he just needs better backdrops

[GOPBasher]

18. LOL! :-) n/t

[Jesus Saves]

22. His earth day activities ring pretty hollow

Most Americans are concerned about the environment...they want to protect it...

[GOPBasher]

24. True. n/t

[priller]

25. What's interesting is you have some people who think

the environment is getting worse, but still think Bush is doing a good job protecting it. Because 63% think it's getting worse, but only 50% think Bush is doing a poor job, so you have 13% who think things are worse, but it's not Bush's fault.
