Bush’s popularity hits new low
Poll: Majority of Americans question president’s integrity


Updated: 11:26 p.m. ET Nov. 3, 2005
For the first time in his presidency a majority of Americans question the integrity of President Bush, and growing doubts about his leadership have left him with record negative ratings on the economy, Iraq and even the war on terrorism, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows.

On almost every key measure of presidential character and performance, the survey found that Bush has never been less popular with the American people. Currently 39 percent approve of the job he is doing as president, while 60 percent disapprove of his performance in office -- the highest level of disapproval ever recorded for Bush in Post-ABC polls.

1. Reading it now... that LBJ-Bush comparison is a killer

Too tricky to copy here, but, wow.

From the accompanying text:

Notably, the number of Americans who say the war in Iraq was not worth fighting, at 60 percent, is higher than the number who said in 1968 that the Vietnam war was a mistake, a high of 54 percent. That grew to 61 percent by 1971, by which time it was Richard Nixon's problem.

3. That's a pretty sweet sentence.

"On almost every key measure of presidential character and performance, the survey found that Bush has never been less popular with the American people."

War based on lies. Check. Stonewalling any investigation. Check. Committing treason. Check. Rampant croynism. Check.

And slooooooowly it dawns on Mr. and Mrs. Sixpak. "Gosh, maybe he ISN'T quite so moral and filled with integrity." :eyes:
