Not according to big media who asks a small audience and uses the results from such polls as the whole, nationwide truth.\n\nHere are some samples from the biggest networks:\n\nFox News Channel:\nApprove: 39%\nDisapprove: 51%\nUndecided: 10%\nhttp://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,144315,00.html#1\n\nCNN:\nApprove: 36%\nDisapprove: 60%\nUndecided: 4%\nhttp://edition.cnn.com/interactive/allpolitics/0510/bush.approval.ratings/frameset.exclude.html\n\nABC News: \nApprove: 42%\nDisapprove: 56%\nUndecided: 2%\nhttp://edition.cnn.com/interactive/allpolitics/0510/bush.approval.ratings/frameset.exclude.html\n\nCBS News: \nApprove: 34%\nDisapprove: 59%\nUndecided: 6%\nhttp://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/02/27/opinion/polls/main1350874.shtml\n\nNETWORKS COMBINED: \nAPPROVE: 37.75%\nDISAPPROVE: 56.50%\nUNDECIDED: 5.50%\n\n\n*Note: These are the latest available polls from the networks and so are varied in results.

... the polls (even those on Fox News) are clear... around 70 or so percent don't support Bush....\n\nBush supporters say if you don't support him, you're against him and you're a liberal....\n\nThat's a lot of liberals...\n\nThe conservatives have clearly lost touch... they think that no matter what they facts say, that 75 percent of America still supports Bush and that they have a large majority, even though they barely beat Kerry... basically, many of them seem to be delusional and don't care about facts or the numbers

His last approval rating, April 2006, was a whole 22%. That means that 78% of the people DON'T love him.

His ratings were very high at the end of '01.  However, they are not currently anywhere near that level.  He may well end his tenure having experienced both the highest and lowest approval ratings in history.

I know!  I've noticed that too.  Most of the people I know HATE Bush, his ratings are low, and the Congress that supports him had a recent 16% approval rating.  I even know some moderate Republicans that voted Democrat this year.\n\nYet people still say that "liberals are idiots" and "Bush is great."  Don't they realize that most of America and practically ALL of the world disagree with them?  Yet they still act all high and mighty.\n\nQuite a god complex they have, isn't it?\n\nBUSH SUCKS!!

No - if Congress says no, Bush, with a 34% approval rating, doesn't have the strength to fight it.

Oddly enough this is NOT an easy thing to find.  I found it at only a few sites.  Eash contradicting the others.  Once I found an unbiased source, it breaks down like this..... \n\nRep-31%\nDem-29%\nIndependent  40%\n\nAs Voted on Nov 7th\n\nDemocrat 53%\nRepublican 44%\nInd 3%

I didn't vote for him, but I'm pretty sure there are a significant number of people who did and now regret it given that his approval ratings have dropped to around 38% (so about 15% of the population voted for him and no longer approves of him).

If you base it on his approval rating, then yes.  He has the worst approval rating of any President, including all war-time president's...\n\nI don't think his approval can sink much below the 30% mark, that is when you hit core republican bedrock.  Those 30% would probably still say he's doing a wonderful job even if we were paying $10 for a gallon of gas, we were in Iraq for 10 more years, unemployment sky-rocketed, minimum wage was never raised, only the wealthy could afford college education and millions of americans sank even further into poverty.  \n\nThat is pretty much true for both sides, when you hit about the 30% mark, you are hitting the core of the party.  Can't get much lower than that.

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...

blows  my   mind  that  anybody  would  approve  of  any  thing  that  mother  fucker   has   done.the  last  one  i   heard  on  the  news,  said  he  was  at  a   record  low   for  approval, it  was  37%.

he certianly did change people's opnions about him. I do belive his approval rate is at an all time low right now....hmm I wonder why.

I honestly think he doesn't have a clue how much approval ratings can make or break him. I don't see how he can have 29%- it should be 29 actual people! Hitler had 29% in 1945!\nHe is a clueless and simple minded man. Sad, really!

He has 33% approval rating.  \n\nThat's a low rating for a president.  \n\nWhen you compare his ratings to Clinton's it's laughable.

Apparently not, since President Bush's approval rating has risen to the highest level since March recently.
