1. They must be watching him at UNITY conference

He is stinkin' up the place. When this reairs on C-SPAN please make sure to tape it.

[buycitgo]

11. I'm going to keep putting tapes in ALL DAY and ALL night

on BOTH CSPANs

I just found out about this a few minutes ago, and have NEVER moved as fast as I did to get a fresh tape in there

GOD, this is like Nixon in 74

used to come home, light one up, and SCREAM with laughter whenever he was on, just dissembling right there in public

"if the shoe flits, well it!"

he said that

[The Magistrate]

31. There Was A True Gem Yesterday From The Jackanapes, Sir

"The terrorists are always working on ways to harm the American people, and so is this Administration...."

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[luaneryder]

13. Yeah, this needs to be aired extensively

Doodie, doodie, doodie.

[deutsey]

2. Punks jump up to get beat down.

Keep jumping, Bushie Boy. Keep jumping.

[gasperc]

3. <43% is apparently toast territory by many pundits

so will people still vote for someone they hate? It happened in CA in '94 with Pete Wilson against Kathleen Brown. His approval was in the 30s at the start of the year and shot up to the 40s by election day. I know I was on the front line. The wind is at our back but it doesn't mean it will close the deal!!!

[napi21]

20. Yes, we've heard that for MONTHS!

I think there are SOME voters who sill stick with shrub no matter what happens, but there are quite a few others who simply want to vote for a WINNER! If it continues to look like the shrub will lose, it exacerbates his troubles. All those people who don't pay a lot of attention to politics until the last week before the election will vote for whoever LOOKS like the winner!

[ProfessorGAC]

4. The Bandwagon Rolls On

Just tooting my own horn. (Yeah, like that's never happened before!)

Me, Me, Me. I Was Right!

Sorry.

[underpants]

12. I don't think this was the corner he was planning on turning

:evilgrin:

[JohnnyFianna1]

5. Nope-his lowest all time approval rating is 42 percent, we are gonna

have to bust him down a little more. Remember our fight is not over yet, Karl still has loads of tricks up their sleeve, like the Republican National Convention, Osama Bin Laden pulled of a foxhole in Iraq (yeah, right!), Weapons being found in Iraq, postponing the election, terror attacks, 200 million dollars, Diebold, turning votes in every state in the U.S., the entire media, NRA endorsements in October, and of course, the chance that, fearful of losing to Kerry, Kerry will be off'd b4 the election, and John Edwards will be the new candidate, thought they'd probabbly have less of a chance after that. If only we could resort to treason like Republicans always do when they are losing (68' and 80', for those of who can't recall. But fortunately, we love our country too much. If we didn't love our country we would purposely lose this election in order to insure that the Democratic Party would be in power for at least a decade or 2 (after 8 years of Bush, who would still want to be a registered Republican?)! But the hand has been dealt and now the time has come to play it.

[mindfulNJ]

10. "we" don't need to do anything...

ole whistleass is doing just fine on his own.

[givemebackmycountry]

24. I Agree

With FOOTBALL coming back on Monday Night may I use a comparison?

Your team comes out and gets down early.
Then you make some plays and it's tied.
The other team makes some mistakes, mental and strategic, and falls behind.
They continue to make turnovers and you take advantage and score on each gaffe that they make.

"You play to win the game" Herm Edwards Head Coach New York Jets.

We need to rack up as many points as we can.

These clowns are coming back using deception and trick plays.

Score NOW.

Let THEM play catch up.

[UTUSN]

6. Wow, Two "Bwahahahs" In a Row This A.M.! n/t

[JuniorPlankton]

7. According to Zogby

The numbers were even worse for * three months ago:
58% disapproval vs 42% approval. So don't get overexcited.
On the hand, it's nice to see that the chimp doesn't get better :)

[MallRat]

8. The bottom is dropping out!

44% approval was confirmed by, of all places, FOX NEWS yesterday.

Seeing as Bush's core support is somewhere around 38-40%, he's in serious danger of cratering.

D'ya think Karl Rove wished he hadn't scheduled Bush's nomination for EARLY SEPTEMBER? By then, any bounce may be too little, too late.

[cthrumatrix]

17. if they saw his speech & q&a today ...there would be zero contest

The man cannot be our president. He cannot carry himself in any convesrsation of substance.

[NewJeffCT]

9. If Bush makes it to the high 30s

Then, I'll start getting slightly optmistic... and, I've been saying that for months now.

[buycitgo]

15. what does this mean in terms of a new MIHOP?

should I have a drink, or what?

[NewJeffCT]

18. I have also been saying for a while..

That we should expect a new version of Operation Northwoods - the old Pentagon proposal from the 60s to stage terror attacks to blame on Cuba as a pretext to invade. Kennedy said "no" when the plan got to his desk. If Cheney & Rummy came to Bush with a similar plan, would Bush say "no"? I don't think so.

[SOS]

26. Probably not necessary

with Diebold counting the votes.

[heidiho]

14. Will the networks report this?

If they do, I think the numbers will fall even further.

No one wants to back a LOSER!!! And we know that Bush is a LOSER.

[DemoTex]

16. It's a sad day in Mudville for the GOP.

Little Georgie has struck out in the ninth.

[SoFlaJet]

19. Everybody is talking about

how this is too close to call-I got a news flash-there are 73% of the people paying real close attention(up 25% from 2000 at this time)and I'm willing to bet they ain't republicans.I smell a LANDSLIDE

[Brotherjohn]

23. I hope they keep saying that. B/c maybe then Diebold won't feel...

... the need to "correct" as many election results. Then, Kerry's landslide will take everyone by surprise.

You know, there have been a lot of elections that have been "close" in popular vote (within 5% or so; see Clinton vs. Bush 1992). But many of those have been electoral "landslides". So far, state-by-state polling results are showing Kerry is headed for an electoral landslide; say about Kerry's 330-350 to Bush's 190-210.

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. WooF***ingHoo!!!!!

OK....CNN, MSGOP, CBS, NBC and ABC, will you report THIS poll???? I can't wait to see how they spin this.

[enough]

22. Lovely little graphic from Zogby

Looks so pretty this way.

[LSK]

34. looks like the reagan bump

Thats why he went up in June.

[flpoljunkie]

25. Lates Fox News Dynamic Poll also has Bush job approval at 44%!

[vetwife]

28. Clinton's numbers were higher than that when he was impeached ...

[HootieMcBoob]

32. Clinton's approval #'s when he was going through impeachment

were, if I remember correctly in the 70's.

[lebkuchen]

27. I hope Bush gives another speech to the press soon

I challenge him to top Edwards by showing off his oratory "skills" sans a teleprompter.

[cthrumatrix]

29. the key is with REAL REPORTERS and no script...spells disaster

[lebkuchen]

35. Conan the Grammarian is not even reading a script well these days

Either his tongue is swollen from TX heat, or his illegal drug habit is catching up with him.

Either way, he's up a storm drain without a paddle.

[NoBorders]

30. great, but what about the gaddamn Giants!!!??? n/t

sorry. :-)

[mccormack98]

36. Giants ... you are goddamn right!

We need Bush to assume control of the Dodgers.

[Beloved Citizen]

38. Bush Traded Lo Duca

There is no other logical explanation.

[LiberalPersona]

33. Excellent news

Let us hope that falling approval is a sticky trend.

[Cat Atomic]

37. Every time Bush screwed up a business, the Saudis bailed him out.

I just wonder how they're going to try to bail him out of this one.
