Chimpy job approval dropped 54 POINTS since Jan 2002!

I was a 12-percenter back in Jan 2002!

PRES. BUSH’S JOB APPROVAL

------------Now 1/2006 1/2005 1/2004 1/2003 1/2002
Approve---- 28%--- 42%--- 49%--- 50%--- 59%-- 82%
Disapprove- 64 ----51---- 46---- 45---- 35--- 12

His job approval is also significantly lower than those of other modern two-term presidents at this point in their second terms. In January 1999, after his impeachment by the House of Representatives, President Bill Clinton’s job approval rating was 65%. In January 1987, President Ronald Reagan’s was 52%. President Lyndon Johnson received a 47% approval rating in early 1967, even as debate about the Vietnam War raged (and in this poll, most Americans say comparing Iraq to Vietnam is a fair comparison). Johnson’s lowest approval rating was 35%, reached in August 1968.


BUSH VS. OTHER PRESIDENTS:
APPROVAL RATINGS AT START OF SEVENTH YEAR

----------Date--Approve-- Disapprove
Bush----- Now -----28%---- 64
Clinton-- 1/1999-- 65%---- 30
Reagan--- 1/1987--- 52%--- 38
Johnson-- 1/1967--- 47%--- 37
Eisenhower- 1/1959- 57%--- 27

1. Which is amazing when you consider that, in January 2002,
Bush had just caused the deaths of about 3,000 Americans through his ineptitude and/or indifference. And that was his high point in popularity.
Well, OK, it took a while for people to catch on.

2. It took a long time for any TRUTH to come out. The corpmedia was in full protection mode
until the clobbering he took in the debates was UNSPINNABLE, and his Schiavo and Katrina performances followed next - also UNSPINNABLE events for his media protectors. His stubborn stance on Iraq is now finishing him off.

3. Another proud 12-percenter here
I have NEVER supported the imposter. When 9-11 happened, I knew that Chimp would get the war he had a hard-on for.

4. I underestimated him
when he stole it in 2000, I kept thinking: he's a dangerous idiot, he's a dangerous idiot. I never knew he would be this unspeakably horrible.
