Bush Job Approval In All 50 States
Only 52% in my state? Whoa! When this happens, things are really turning around.

Disaproval in red states such as Arizona, Alaska, Georgia, Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. He breaks even in Louisiana and is +2 in Mississippi. He is in the severly negative numbers in all blue states. For an overall 55% disaproval.

The empire is crumbling! '06 is going to be special if this anti-Repub sentiment keeps up.

16. Incredible buyer's remorse!!!! Of course I believe that there was massive
voter fraud, and that is not only sad, but horrifying. A nightmare, in fact. But your"incredible buyer's remorse" line has me:

31. georgie lost this state
There is no doubt in my mind.
Last night at the vigil car upon car honked and flashed peace signs. I didn't see one "heckler". Granted this is Cleveland, but the stories for the other area vigils mirrored mine.
Ohio will bounce back once they run legitimate elections.

49. I think so too
I encourage anybody who hasn't to go to cspan.org and in the search engine type in Cliff Arnebeck and look for his interview on the Washington Journal. He says Kerry won probably about 3-5%. Don't forget all the lying and the supression. :mad:

5. ALASKA - WOO-HOO!!
Last night at our vigil, almost every third car honked its approval, and I personally only saw one raised middle digit. I really don't think this state is as red as they say it is, at least not here in Anchorage.

I'm not from Rhode Island but my heart is more with them. I'm at the 100% disapproval rate. My state TX still has the Crawford Coward at 54% approval. They let cows vote in TX and all the rich bu$h boy supporters mark their cow's ballots for them. X brand marks the spot!

25. hhahah and that's up
from the last time I saw a poll. Texas was at only 50% approval and if you threw them in the 'toss up' group it made Alabama with like 8 electoral votes his "power base".....

The nation is a sea of blue. :)

43. Well,
we actually have 9 votes. 9 too many if you ask me. ;)

And if * only gets 52% approval in Alabama, then we have many counties that are against him. I imagine it would be the ones Clinton won in 1992 and 1996. Our state has potential... we just have to work on it a little harder. :)

Clinton counties in red:

It is becoming undeniable that the outcome of the war will be an Islamic republic closely allied with Iran.

That will bide well for the NEO CON AGENDA....

All of these states EVs went to Bush in '04 yet today only nine months out Bush is at a DOUBLE digit negative (diff bt. approve and disapprove)! Yea, Bush really won all these states in '04...

(Where are those early exit polls? Oh right, they didn't match the pre-determined results so they were quashed.)

38. we MUST make this count -- paper ballots! now, dammit
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4369575&mesg_id=4369575

... it was only in precincts where there were no paper trails on the voting machines that the exit polls ended up being different from the final count. According to Dr. Steve Freeman, a statistician at the University of Pennsylvania, the odds are 250 million to one that the exit polls were wrong by chance. In fact, where the exit polls disagreed with the computerized outcomes the results always favored Bush - another statistical impossibility. .

Dennis Loo writes, "A team at the University of California at Berkeley, headed by sociology professor Michael Hout, found a highly suspicious pattern in which Bush received 260,000 more votes in those Florida precincts that used electronic voting machines than past voting patterns would indicate compared to those precincts that used optical scan read votes where past voting patterns held."

44. Wow!
52% disapprove in my state! I'm in Tennessee! In 2000 Gore only lost the state by four percent. This past election it was Bush 57% and Kerry 43%. Not too bad for Kerry. I'm happy about this though! Hopefully all these people will go out and vote and vote democratic. If this is the case things could be so different next year. I'm so happy about this! The only good thing about Kerry "losing" is this news. :D

in the disaproving category. That means that I am bordered by three anti-Bush states in Tennessee, Florida, and Georgia. :P

No, seriously, its good to see you guys returning to your Democratic roots. If you keep it up, Tennessee's 11 electoral votes may be going to the Democratic nominee. Wouldn't that be awesome to watch the entire South evaporate from their column?!?!

We have a really great democratic governor Phil Bredesen. Besides all the health care problems he got dealt with he's been doing pretty good. I'm surprised really. I hope in 2006 I can have a democratic Senator. I'm happy with either Ford or Kurita. Just a democrat! And I would love to kick out Zach Wamp and have John Wolfe.

46. Notice that OHIO
is 63% disapprove to 37% approve??

That seems a little FISHY, since he "won" Ohio last November. That's quite a fall from grace, don't you think?

What changed their minds in Ohio is such a big way in such a few months time?
