(From the diaries -- kos)

We have at long last a poll from Utah clocking in at 47%! With the poll of Idaho in August, this means every single state has had a poll with approval of Bush under 50% at some point.

America the Beautiful, indeed!

[Doctor Cynic]

1. don't be surprised if it turns dark green within months n/t

[ThatsMyBarack]

23. Welcome to DU, Teh_Rabble_Rouser!

Was the misspelling intentional? ;)

[Ryano42]

2. Excuse me, Congress?

TAKE A LONG F'ING LOOK AT THIS!!!! :mad:

[Toots]

22. And Congress has what approval rating?

I mean come on, Congress has a worse approval rating than Bush* and IMO it is because they refuse to hold criminals accountable..

[cboy4]

3. Beautiful!! I think a certain team should change it's name too!

[ThatsMyBarack]

24. To what?

Any ideas? ;)

[On the Road]

26. They Could Move to St Louis and Call Themselves the Blues

That would be second name change, however. In the McCarth era, Cincinnati temporarily referred to its baseball team as the "Redlegs" because "Reds" sounded way too Communist for the times.

[AspenRose]

4. Remind me again why Democrats are keeping their powder dry......

*sigh* :banghead:

[Demeter]

35. It's Probably Face Powder, or Talcum

Sulfer-free and environmentally inert.

[Xipe Totec]

5. Behold - America holding it's breath, waiting for justice. nt

[intheflow]

17. Turning blue from holding its breath?

I just hope America doesn't expire before it gets a chance to breath freely again.

[annabanana]

40. BINGO!. . . n/t

[bdamomma]

6. but he is still there in the WH.

[eppur_se_muova]

7. Thank you! That's a bluetifull sight!

[TheDebbieDee]

9. America, the Bluetiful!

[OzarkDem]

8. So why are our Dem leaders in Congress

and the DLC Dems running for '08 so disdainful of the majority of these voters and so anxious to gain approval of the few folks in Idaho, Utah and Wyoming?

[EFerrari]

10. Bookmark this for when they try to explain the theft of 2008 --

or, hopefully, the attempted theft.

[Up2Late]

11. That's a beautiful site! Got anything on "...likely to vote for a Democratic or Republic Party..."

...candidates for President or Congress?

[Cass]

12. A thing of beauty.

No matter how the media tries to portray us as being the minority, we are the majority.

At the rate Bush is going, this baby will be solid green in no time.

[rpannier]

13. You know what they say...

Better dead than red

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

14. Taking ads from right wingers?

I could do without the no on Prop. 1 add that poppped up with your link.

[Fly by night]

15. Oh what a beautiful sight to see right before I go to bed.

For once, having the blues is a very good thing.

Way to go, America. I see that all y'all have gotten your wake-up call.

[Carrieyazel]

16. This is great, but to say that some of these states are no longer red isn't realistic.

A lot of these states are still voting Repuke next year in the general.

[MiniMe]

32. Agreed. That is the Bush approval rating, not the next republican nominee

[DeSwiss]

18. Thanks Hissyspit!!!

I printin' this puppy out and hanging it on the wall!!! Hell I just may wallpaper my half-bathroom with em'.

I like to read stories with a happy ending while I'm in there, see?



K&R!!!

[Vidar]

19. It's all blue and gray, lovely! The Blue & the Gray--where have I heard that before?

[Perry Logan]

20. What a beautiful country--all in my favorite color!

[democrank]

21. Yay! This is like a real Elvis sighting....

Blue Persuade Choose

[ThatsMyBarack]

25. Isn't more of America trying to go GREEN, anyways?

Imagine that! :patriot:

[berni_mccoy]

27. Scale that with population and you'd get an even more amazing results. Bush's highest approval

is in the lowest populated areas of the country.

[helderheid]

28. I'm in Utah!

:woohoo:

[OzarkDem]

29. Kick

:kick:

[ForeignSpectator]

30. looks good but still too many gray and light blue states... what would it take for these people to

"get it"?

[uppityperson]

31. Just because they don't approve doesn't mean they won't vote repub

I love the color, thank you. But just because someone disapproves does not mean they won't vote that way again. Change can be scary and many would rather have someone they know and disapprove (r) of than someone unknown (d).

[Carrieyazel]

33. But about 25 states are going repuke next year in the prez general

This is good news for down the ticket, where Democrats can win.

[barbtries]

34. i'm in a 36-40 state

which is alarming enough - but this is good.

can he be dumped already? can we quit the warmongering and regain our democracy now?

[eowyn_of_rohan]

36. Was there EVER a preponderance of red states?.....

I am eternally sceptical due to Diebold, ES&S, & Sequoia

[kimmylavin]

37. Yay, New Jersey!

My home state - all gardened up. :)
And my current home state - California - looking pretty lovely as well!

[pattmarty]

38. Can we nuke Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming? Just kidding!!!!!!!

[Arugula Latte]

39. Why Does America Hate America?

:cry:



:rofl:

[Cha]

41. Only took 7 years of bushit

with a corporatemediawhore propoganda system.. the likes not seen since Pravda.

Poor gray area states..do they have more than a few deluded souls or What?!

Sorry, to sound all negative on a positive piece..it really really is surreal news that's actually great after all this time..from the "90%" after 9/11(On 9/10 bushit's polls were in the toilet..lending credence to bushit saying .."all in all, larvae and I have had a pretty good year"..how's this year been for ya, asshole?) to this map in 2007.

No Reds and getting Bluer by the day! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[RebelSansCause]

42. i am ashamed of NY state, we are losing to jersey

damn jersey. only some friendly interstate rivalry. but seriously, new york is losing to jersey. aaaaarrrrgggghhhh. whatever, i have always said that new york city, westchester, and long island should separate from the rest of the state. *'s approval rating in manhattan is at about 1%. maybe. jersey. whatever.
