Is the Bush approval rating of 34% just a rumor?

[wyldwolf]

Probably wishful thinking at this point... but one can hope!

1. Maybe someone posted that because they know something

about new poll numbers that might be about to come out.

2. I think that is the approval rating for his Iraq fiasco

Do you approve of the way Bush handled Iraq. I think his overall appoval rating is mid-40s and sinking.

5. More likely that, yes.

The only major category where Bush gets high numbers is on his handling of the War on Terror. What handling? What War on Terror? The War on Terror ended over a year ago.

On the economy, on Iraq, and on several other issues, Bush gets high disapproval ratings.

13. War on Terror?

I'm curious why you think the war on terror ended 'over a year ago'?

[elperromagico]

14. Have you heard of the war in Iraq?

I don't think it's necessary to get into why the war in Iraq has distracted us from the War on Terror.

3. I hope not

8. I don't know about that Bush photo of yours...

It makes him look kind of cool. Like some sort of postmodern badass hitman. In reality, he's just a sick, stupid asshole-- a particularly dangerous one, due to the organization that handles him.

10. According to this poll it's a toss up.

They're both tied for electoral votes. Kerry:269 Bush: 269
