I think Bush's support is still strong regardless of the polls because all the haters are online voicing their opinions which is where the results come from but the supporters are still out there just not fooling around on the web as much.\nLet's hear some random comments for 10 points.

I support the President, too. He has attemtped pretty silly things (like giving away our ports to arabs) but he is a great leader and he still has my approval. He has given freedom to thousands of Iraqis and my answer to all who believe that this is 'not our war', take into account: 'With great power comes great responsibility.' America has the power to defend the weak and we have done just that. \n  If he could be elected again, he would have my vote. :)

It is only 29% of the people in America that still support him and most of the reason is because of the war in Iraq. Most people are waking up to the fact that there was no weapons of mass destruction, that it isn't about freedom for the Iraqi people and it was probably more about the price of oil. \n   I think that the 29% that still support him must be the more mentally deficient of the population of the United States. They just do not want to believe that they elected and reelected a crook.

I wouldn't doubt that his approval rating would go up? Maybe the damn liberals are finally happy... which is quite rare! Or maybe they are finally realizing that they are wrong and that Bush is really doing a great job as the President of the U.S....

Here comes the dictator comments again {rolling eyes}... and the claims of criminality without one shred of proof of any criminal act. Repeating the same unfounded spew, does not make it truth. No matter how many times we can show these uber-libs the factual circumstances and documentation behind things, they keep going right down the same path. Unbleievable.\n\nBush, like every other person or president, makes decisions that are not necessarily in line with the popular consensus. He also makes mistakes. He's also in the last term of a presidency that is continually under attack from the left wing of the Democratic party and the media. With that kind of continual influence, popularity numbers will fall.\n\nThe weird thing is that just a bit ago it was in the 60's (negative reaction), yet with this apparent mistake with the control of American ports, the pols show a slight increase in popularity. It goes to show, yet again, that these small polls are not exactly what we would call accurate or something to be taken as an absolute truth.\n\nWhile I am sure he will continue to be very unpopular with the uber-libs, and will have a good amount of opposition with many other Dems, I don't really read a ton into it. Look, Clinton was a popular President, who really did not do much of a good job with anything at all, was caught perjuring, and was even more scandalous than the uber-libs think Bush is. Popularity polls mean about as much in terms of the truth as the most popular baseball player inherently being the best baseball player.

Because of people like Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi , Hillary& Reid the liberals are lieing low until arter the election. GW fears no one & he is out there fighting for his idears (right or wrong) I like some one who holds on to his idears no matter how some people feel about them. At least he is not wishey/ washey like some people. What he said yesterday he will say tomorrow.The polls do not change his mind.

It's certainly easy to believe that people don't know how (or want to truly debate) when you read the Yahoo discussions and watch a lot of the media. Frankly, I think many people are intellectually lazy. They don't want to take the time to provide defendable reasons why they believe a certain way, so they resort to vitriole and name-calling.\n\nI too believe that Bush is a good man and was right about Iraq, but he is a horrible communicator. That was Clinton's strong-point. Right or wrong, he knew how to get the American people to buy whatever he was selling.

it's not bush that i'm concerned about it's the people who voted for him once, then twice, then still defend him and support his policies that truly worry me...\n\nso i guess yes this world has gone mad!!!!!!

A lot of people don't watch the news... a lot of people are pissed when the President's comments come on during their tv show... \n\nthe majority of these people clearly don't care...they just think it's their duty to vote and they don't want to vote for a "flip-flopper"... and that's about as far into the issues that they go... name calling works with these people and it's a major reason that Bush won in the first place...\n\nYou only have two reasons that you support Bush right now if you ask me... ignorance or you're wealthy... if you voted for him based on morals and you still support him.. hahaha... you haven't been paying attention\n\nYou also have a small contingent that only listens to conservative news stations that are clearly slanted... apparently they believe what they hear is the truth, as long as it supports what they think? It's really sad if you ask me... there is 10 times more opinion in fox news stories and interviews than any other station out there... it's a joke...

I've always fully supported President Bush.  I'm a Soldier and I'm proud to have served in Operation Iraqi Freedom.\n\nOh yeah,  BantamRooster68 you're absolutely right man, the liberals don't have the integrity to admit that they were wrong.  Sad that you can't instill some moral values in people like that.

jason- are you kidding? Bush has the lowest approval rating among latin americans of any president in history. I sure hope someone does something about the current administration. Legal immigrants---get out there and vote!

I really like President Bush. I don't agree with all of his decisions, but I think he is a wise, Godly man who is a good leader. People claim that he is an awful president, but no one ever likes the president. People had problems with Clinton and every president before him. I am sure if some of these people who criticize Bush would have people that didn't like them if they ran the country. Electing a president is more or less electing the person who will get the blame. Running the most powerful nation in the world can't be a day at the beach....

Sadly, most of the people critical of the US don't understand that very few of us are as liberal or conservative as the extremeists they see on T.V.  And they also look at their country's reporting of the President, and assume what he things completely and absolutely reflects what the American people believe.\n\nNatually, this is 100% false.  First off, only 1/2 of the country votes for the President who wins, and then he can lose popularity over time.  Right now, only 32% (roughly) support the President, and also everybody disagrees with the President on at least one issue, and a slew of people don't argee with him on Iraq.\n\nUnfortunately, that's what almost everybody else is judging us on.  They look at the failures of Iraq, look at the President, then assume we're all JUST like him, when we're not.  In fact, most of the people who voted for him aren't even like him.  There are all different types of people in the U.S., but those critical can only go by what their eyes and ears recieve.\n\nI wish all these people would go to some of our news sites, as well as many of the political blogs found in this country, then come here and read the questions, beforew finally coming here and spending a week in the U.S., just to see how much we all differ from each other.\n\nI, nor anyone else, like to be stereotyped.  It's never a good thing, and can often hurt a country in it's world standing.\n\nSimple fact: those who aren't here, just don't know.

Approval Ratings polls should be taken with a grain of salt for two reasons. First, people are essentially like lemmings adopting the flavor of the day in opinions. Secondly, these polls are based on interviewing 1000 people. In my opinion, this is way too small a sample to get an accurate picture of the nation.\n\nThe simple fact is that every issue is exploited to an extent by both sides for political gain. This is the sad truth, and I am afraid not much can be done about it. All in all, I think a 36% approval rating is lower than he deserves. \nWar is never popular, but his handling of Katrina is being twisted by the left for political gain. He spoke with Gov. Blanco before and during the heighth of the storm, asking her repetitively to declare a disaster. This would allow the Federal Gov't to take over, but she refused. Your president is not a First Responder. The blame belongs on the state and local governments.\n\nThe ports deal is another example, although I am increasingly of the position that it was a very clever smokescreen by the administration designed primarily to secure an easy passage of the Patriot Act renewal.

Popularity definately changes over time. While Clinton was president, he was greatly favored. He was intelligent and a wonderful speaker. Now, the majority [but not all] of society looks down upon the years of his presidency. In this sense, I think Bush will be praised in the future for his contribution to the American society. He DID quickly retaliate after 9/11 occurred, much like FDR did after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Within 6 months, troops were sent overseas. He has made foolish decisions, but he also has made intelligent ones. Because of this, I think Bush will be viewed as a good president in the future.

I've noticed that any time I do try to say something positive about the president or Republicans, I get nailed with down thumbs. It's almost like you can't be sincere about anything unless it's clearly backing one side or the other. This site does not cater to Moderate voices, that's for sure.

Shoot man, I coulda told ya that! Go into the Politics section of yahoo answers. Bush has got his spies laying all kinds of questions in there, posing as normal users to find out exactly what people think of Bushy.
