Oh no! Bush's approval rating all the way up to 42 percent!

[murdoch]

I was watching the news last night and it talked about how Bush's approval rating had improved. I had Fox News on for a moment and the O'Lie-ly Factor was talking about how the liberal media wasn't covering this, meaning I guess that MSNBC is not the liberal media since that's where I learned this from.

Anyhow, I check the web today and saw his approval was at 42%. 42%? That's something to crow about? That doesn't sound to great to me. That's like when the economy tanked under Bush and there was some growth back to where it was before it tanked and Bush was talking about how it had grown, as if getting it back to where it had been was some great accomplishment.

2. Norah the Whora O'Donnell

Was saying "soaring", last night.

4. 42% is soaring?

Someone needs to buy that woman a dictionary. His approvals are in the toilet and, after the Holidays, when even more trouble starts to come down, it will get worse.

3. What would you expect from faux news and msnrc..........

divisions of the bush propoganda networks. What credible polling organization said 42% approval???

6. Rasmussen has him at 48%. I hate to play devils advocate here, but...

He could be over 50% after the elections and state of the union.

Soon after he'll probably drop back down into the mid to low 40's.

14. Rasmussen has him at 43% right now.

7. Maybe the polls

are just giving junior a few points for Xmas

8. That. Plus gas prices have fallen to below 2.00 in some places.

Its around 2.00 here in Maryland.

9. This is still discouraging

For his approval rating to go up one point is discouraging. What the heck is
wrong with the American people anyway. The only time they become disillusioned
is when it personally effects them and when thing get better for them, they like
Bush again. Screw everybody else. This is really sad.

10. Where have they fallen below two bucks?

High here junior's home town.

13. 1.98 here in Dundalk, MD. Outside of Baltimore City.

[Maine-ah]

16. hm, funny that gas prices are falling every where else

but up here. This week I watched several gas stations. They all started at $2.20. One ended the week at $2.27, and the others are at $2.25 & $2.23. So, we aren't seeing it up here. :mad:

11. It's ALL About Just How You SPIN!!

And SPIN is how we got to where we are today!! I'm going to wait for panic until the first of the year!

However, I must say I no longer even UNDERSTAND what is going on in America, or are we still America?? Things are so crazy, but it is Christmas time and perhaps people aren't as angry because of ALL the Christmas Parties etc., going on!

A couple of weeks after the first of the year will be more telling, but now that I'm becoming more "into" conspiracy theories, you can bet there's a LOT of scheming going on in D.C.!!! And who KNOWS what is going on in other parts of the world these days. It's just one scheme after another!!!

12. 42 percent?!

I'm shaking. Somebody hold my hand.

15. Who did they pay off? Let's see five point must be worth... n/t

17. Total BS. I live in heart of Bush Country Southewrn Calisornia and there

are bo Bush/Cheney stckers or W stickers to be seen anymore. Total BS.

18. inversely proportionate to the gas prices coming down

they push the limits. If his poll numbers had not started dropping you can bet gas would still be around $3.00 a gallon.

[agincourt]

19. And in other polls taken this week,

getting your thumb squashed bloody with a hammer, being audited by the IRS, and developing painful hemorrhoids soared in approval to 39%, 46%, and 43% respectively as well, so things are looking up for these entities also. A little stirring is percolating in the hinterlands. Baaaah. Baaaaah. Baa.
