Fox reports the lowest poll numbers yet for Bush: only 33% approval ratings.

Yes and No-- Yes because it is quite clear that the number of soon-to-be contested seats in the House and Senate races will be filled by many Democrats, thus bringing an end to GOP majority in either chamber.  No for the reason that George W. Bush IS and WILL BE our President for the next 2+ years, so it's not like their aspirations won't at least be acknowledged by those in the White House.  Bush's approval ratings aren't enough to gauge how many seats will "go blue" in November, so we'll all just have to wait and see...

Welcome to the Information age. Media coverage of every thing around the clock, non stop...along with Natalie Halloway, and Lacy Peterson, the coverage of this administration has made the media (US media) the largest, most impecable beast of broadcasting journalism out there in the modern world.\n\nNow your question: Why George Bush II? \na.) He's the president\nb.) He's been very rude, secretive and of late rather hasty towards any sort of critisim of his cabinet members or his policies...\n(you can do that, but don't try to tell the media not to do that, it appears to be erasing 1st amendment rights)\nc.) He's had quite a few mistakes, and a much greater impact on internal as well as external well being as a result of his mistakes.\n\nLastly, the media realizes they were pestering Clinton and feeding into the Congressional Republicans bigotry, they were trying to impeach Clinton because he lied about a BLOW JOB. Why? \n\nNow, there's Bush who wasn't legit' elected the first time, started two wars, one's in ruins, he's got corruption traced to the heart of his administration, he's got the third worst 2nd term approval rating of any president, he's got ties to Abramoff, he screwed us up at Orleans...\n\nApparently, they've learned their lesson. The media isn't going to suck up to the Congress anymore, but then again why would they, the Republican held Houses have a overall approval rating of only 32%!!!!

He is the Worse president ever~! \nHere is 25 reasons for ya. \n\n25 REASONS TO FEEL BAD ABOUT BUSH\n\nEconomic Indicators\n\n1. The unemployment rate averaged 4.1 percent in 2000 and reached a 30 year low of 3.9 percent in October 2000. Today, the unemployment rate has increased to 5.7 percent. There are presently 8.1 million unemployed Americans, an increase of 2.5 million compared to 2000\n\n2. The number of Americans experiencing long-term unemployment-over 27 weeks-has almost doubled in the last year.\n\n3. Job creation has reversed. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the economy created 1.7 million new jobs. This trend has been reversed, and the economy has lost almost 1.5 million jobs since President Bush took office in January 2001.\n\n4. Poverty is increasing. After decreasing for eight straight years and reaching its lowest level in 25 years, the poverty rate increased from 11.3 percent in 2000 to 11.7 percent in 2001. In the first year of the Bush administration, 1.3 million Americans slipped back into poverty, with a total of 32.9 million Americans living in poverty in 2001.\n\n5. Incomes are falling. After increasing every year since 1991, and reaching an all time high in 2000, median household income in the United States fell 2.2 percent in 2001. Median incomes fell for households in every income group in the country except for those earning over $150,000.\n\n6. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are filing for bankruptcy. Almost 800,000 Americans filed for bankruptcy in the first half of 2002. In the second quarter of 2002, over 400,000 bankruptcies were filed in the United States, an all-time record.\n\n7. Mortgage foreclosures are at record highs. In the second quarter of 2002, 1.23 percent of home loans were in the foreclosure process, a record level. Over this same time period, almost 5 percent of mortgage loans were delinquent, up almost 20 percent from the average delinquency rate in 2000.\n\n8. The federal budget deficit is increasing. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the federal budget, excluding Social Security, showed a surplus of $86.6 billion. The most recent figures from the Congressional Budget Office indicate that for FY 2002, the federal budget, excluding Social Security, will show a deficit of $314 billion.\n\n9. This represents the largest budget decline in U.S. history, and it is the third-largest on-budget deficit in history, exceeded in size only by the deficits of 1991 and 1992 under the first President Bush. Health Care Indicators\n\n10.The number of Americans without health insurance is increasing. Between 1999 and 2000, the number of uninsured Americans fell by 600,000.\n\n11. But this trend has reversed itself and in 2001 the number of uninsured Americans increased by 1.4 million.\n\n12. Over 41 million Americans — 14.6 percent of the population — had no health insurance coverage in 2001.\n\n13. The percentage of small businesses offering insurance to their employees fell by 10 percent between 2000 and 2002.\n\n14. Insurance costs increased by 12.7 percent in 2002, the second consecutive year of double-digit increases and the largest annual increase in costs since 1990.\n\n15. Prescription drug prices increased by almost twice the rate of inflation in 2001.\n\n16. For seniors, who use the most prescription drugs, cost increases were even higher. The cost of the 50 most popular drugs for seniors increased by 7.8 percent in 2001, over three times the rate of inflation. The price of Prilosec, the most popular drug for seniors, increased at over four times the rate of inflation.\n\nCrime and Drug Use Indicators\n\n17.The crime rate is increasing. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the crime rate reached its lowest level since 1972. This represented the culmination of a 22 percent decrease in crime during the 1990s.\n\n18. But in 2001, the crime rate increased by 2.2 percent. The murder rate increased by 3.1 percent, the robbery rat

They bring Michael J Fox and others in for the pity vote because their message was weak.\nWe need a CHANGE - okay - to what?\nThey did not have an answer to "what".

They will never accept reality, there will always be at least 20% that will support Bush no matter what he does and they will find a way to blame it on Clinton's penis.\n\nThe Republicans in congress are ALMOST as low as Bush. 36%\n\n\nUnlike the poster below me, I have a source for that claim.\n\n\n\n\nWASHINGTON - In an ominous election-year sign for Republicans, Americans are leaning sharply toward giving Democrats control of Congress, an AP-Ipsos poll finds. Democrats are favored 49 percent to 36 percent.

You're kidding, right???\nTime to get outside the Fox bubble.\nLet's see....Krauthammer thought Cheney "did the manly thing" in withholding information shooting his hunting partner.\nOr, how about "everyone looked at the same intelligence and came to the same conclusions?" Really? Bush doesn't have access to more info than the rest of us?\nMaybe you prefer his claim that "Bush is probably the least poll-driven president in history?" Read Woodward for a contrary view.\nEven better, his claim that the Iraq war has not boosted recruiting for Al-Queda, despite numerous reports to the contrary, including the national intelligence council & other intelligence reports. \nOn the other hand, I agree that he has no schmaltz and that his comments are well thought-out. Unfortunately, they are not necessarily based on evidence or fact, but are calculated to put the administration in the best light possible and the "liberals" in the worst light.\nI'll even concede that, given a choice of O'reilly, Hannity, and Krauthammer, I'll take the latter most any day. Fortunately, I don't have to take any of them.

How fickle people are, these polls out today are a joke. I would like to see this question posed...what don't you like about Bush, factually, not just off the cuff running your mouth...give me facts.\n\nIsn't it interesting that some 96% of the US population approved of the war in Iraq 4 years ago?  Yet, they don't approve now, sorry folks, you don't just change your mind about war in midstream.  It doesn't work that way.  We didn't have it easy during many wars, and didn't give up and pull out, eventually the tables turned and we were very successful.  I think of the Revolutionary war, WW1 and  WWII.  People seem to forget that we activly fought WWII for 4 years (after it was already in progress for 3 years).  It was awful, it was tough, but we got dragged into it by Japan, just like the terrorists draged us into this one.\n\nSo why is Bush great?  Number one, he has named his priorities and goals and stuck with them.  The economy is very strong, growing so fast the Feds can't raise interest rates fast enough.  I can't see what it is that Americans can blame Bush for when it comes to the economy, most of the damage was done by the terrorists on 9/11.  Bush said he belived in tax cuts, he didn't want new taxes and he wanted Americans to have more money in their pockets so they spent more.  All of the above happened.  I didn't see anyone complaining when they got their $300.00 a few years ago.  The democrats are dying to use taxes to lower the deficit...okay, that means our money folks, you okay with that?\nThere is a time a place for everything, raising taxes during war is not the way to go.\n\nWe have not had another attack on American soil.  If you want to keep the terrorists from attacking innocent Americans, send the military to the terrorists, keep them occupied and kick their asses somewhere else.  The men in the military are all for being out there kicking terrorism in the butt.  That is their job, they signed up for it and trained for it.  They don't just want Americans support they want success, that means letting them finish the job.  Some of these men and women are on their 4th and 5th tours, and wanting to go back for more.\n\nBush tells it like it is.  If he screws up he acknowledges it.  He doesn't mess around with anything.  He gets to the point and moves on.  You can tell how much he learned from his dad and President Regan.  Sometimes he so reminds me of Regan it's astonishing.  \n\nI'm sorry but when Hurricane Katrina came and Bush got the report on the dykes a few days before landfall..what was he going to do about them?  Send peple out to dump dirt on them?  It was too late to rebuild, it was not feasable to get everyone out of the City, hell that shouldn't even be the governments job to do that.  We have been through 3 direct Hurricane landfalls in 2 years where I live in Ft. Pierce, FL (not to mention the 4 indirect storms and depressions) and we took care of ourselves.  This is the land of the elderly.  If we had waited for the government we would have been standing in waist deep water for weeks.   Bush came and saw us, he gave us support, it's more emotional than anything else.  That is what we needed, when you dont' have TV, radio, phone, you feel very isolated.  Having your President come to see you is a great moral booster.  He is very good at that.\n\nBush has reached the point where he really doesn't care what everyone thinks about him.  He is out for doing what he thinks is best for America, not whats best for the social circle.  So if the other countries don't like it well, I'm sorry, but that is the way it is.  As soon as everyone begins to wake up and realize that we are all targets, we will be better off as a nation and a world.  If your President doesn't look after you first, then what good is he?  It's like having a dead beat dad...no thanks, I'll take GW!

While this poll is not scientific, so the results will be tainted as it is not a random test, or a cross section,but just for the heck of it put me in the I hate Bush category and lets see if it comes out any where near the scientific polls of 29% to 71%.\n\nI DO NOT SUPPORT GEORGE BUSH.

It just shows how low Republicans are willing to stoop.

They're afraid of being seen as responsible for putting the worst president ever into the White House.  The fact that they feel such guilt now is a very good sign.  Maybe even those who voted for Bush recognize that the country is headed in the wrong direction.

You're right about it not meaning 60% approval for Democrats.  That is very true and people need to remember that.\n\nYou have to remember, though, that the rating Bush has right now is bad and it shows that the majority of hte country DOESN'T approve of him, right?\n\nDemocrats have lots of problems but their problems (for the most part) aren't hindering Bush.  His choices are his own and therefore his rating is his own too.  He's earned all this that he's caused.  The question is, have our soldiers?\n\nIn all truth, if what Bush said was 100% true all the time then of course I'd get behind him.  We'd already have gotten Bin Laden and stabalized Iraq, but they've miscalculated and mistakes happened.  I know all presidents do it, but it doesn't mean we can forget Bush's failures.\n\nDon't worry, it's not like I like Clinton either.  You can't support a leader 100% all the time.  That's just not American.

Yeah, back when the office of President meant something and not getting every nation to hate USA. Bush will go down as the most hated person in the world...his job approval rating is now only 29%...lets see how LOW he can go! \n(Clinton still has a HIGH approval rating!) \n\nCheney has 19% rating...\nBush is competitive...\nwill he beat Cheney \nand go even lower???
31258
No one likes him...that's why he has the lowest approval ratings of any president in history!!!

Pretty friggin dense. How dense exactly? Well, just look at the answers of the Bush supporters on here.\nThose 28% who still support him are either blinded by conservative propaganda from FoxNews or they are just uneducated, unsmart or simply do not care. There is hope though, many of these people are finally seeing the light. His approval rating keeps dropping, someday soon it will be at 2% (only the filthy rich and Haliburton employees)\nLike you stated: all you have to do is compare 2000-2006 to 1992-2000. What a difference!\n\nI also must mention how hilarious "Rock Hunter's" answer is. False surplus? LOL.
