Why do you think George Bush's approval ratings are so low?
398996
Because he has made several huge blunders including lying to the American public, going to war over false pretenses, stripping us of our civil liberties, and now, disclosing top secret information to damage someone's career. The American people are now beginning to realize how much damage Bush has done.

Do you notice that the repuglicans have nothing good to say about him either. His approval ratting is dropping by the day, and I will be so glad when we can show him the door. His is probably the worst administration in my memory. His decisions are going to cause problems for years to come.

If you're referring to President Bush, there are a number of reasons that his numbers have fallen so low lately.\n\nThe number one reason is that he got the United States into a war that isn't ours to fight. Instead of fighting terrorism, we decided to fight a dictator in a completely different country than the one which harbored terrorists. Instead of fighting terrorism or terrorists, now we're fighting soldiers on two different sides of a civil war.\n\nInstead of helping the Iraqis get back on their feet, we aggravated the situation so much, that now the entire country has dissolved into  a civil war. Instead of instilling a new, independent government, we've put into power pawns of the US government. Instead of working for the good of mankind, where help is needed AND desired (like Darfur), we're stuck in an incredibly sticky situation in the Middle East.\n\nIn a nutshell? Because so far this "peacemaker" hasn't made any peace.

I think Bush is a great guy, just lacking the wisdom necessary for being the president.\n\nHe spends money like a teenager with her parents' credit card trying to impress her friends.\n\nHe cherry-picked info to come up with the conclusion he wanted. (WMD's)\n\nHe made very poor decision for appointments (FEMA's Brown)\n\nHis poor communication skills are no match for combatting the liberal media. (And he's has given them a lot of ammunition)\n\nHey, Shepherd - No president has much control over economics.  What little they can do has little or no immediate effect.

Are you kidding with this question?  His approval rating is 29%.  Does that tell you anything?

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....

No.  He's lost the support of fiscal conservatives with his spendthrift ways, Christian conservatives have soured on him, and others are turned off by the Iraq War.  Frankly, I don't believe it when I hear he has an approval rating around 40%.  I think it's really more like 10%.

since this year, major polling organizations have showed that george w. bush suffers from an overwhelming public disapproval rate. \n\nthe highest approval rating he received was 47% (with a disapproval rating of 50%) during the january 22 to 25 period conducted by Cook/RT Strategies. the worst rating he received so far was a 33% approval rating and a 57% disapproval rating conducted by Pew during the March 8 to 12 period, and a 60% disapproval rating (and a 37% approval rating) during the march 6-8 period conducted by AP-Ipsos and march 10-12 conducted by CNN/USA Today/Gallup (36% approval rating). you can see more trends at the pollingreport.com site.\n\nhttp://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm\n\nit is worthy to note that, except for the march 2-5 period, bush has not received an approval rating above 40% for the month of march. \n\n\nwhy did he get voted into office? methinks that the republican party is very popular in the central-midwest regions of the US, where bush focused on the issues of family values and security (antiterrorism)-- issues that strike the heart of the people there. there are more voters in those areas combined, compared the pacific and east coasts, which voted for the democratic party.\n\nbut now people are growing more aware of the unbelievable cost of the war on iraq (which is now worth $250.3 billion, as of this writing), the growing casualties, the revelation that there are no weapons of mass destruction found in iraq. hence, his popularity is sliding even among his voters.

His approval ratings hit an all time low in a poll yesterday, 29%. That is what good Americans think of Bush.

71 % of the people in the United States say no he is not doing a very good job. Around the world I bet his numbers are way lower then that.

I have problems With President Bush, but I believe that he has gotten some bad advice and has surrounded himself with people who don't have the nation's best interest at heart.  I voted for him simply because I didn't want Kerry to become leader of the free world.  As for my vote, who knows, it might count, it might not.  I still vote with high hopes and low expectations.

It's way too early to judge George W Bush but historically speaking  most rate U.S. Grant as the worst president.. Not so much because of Grant himself but because he  brought in friends and family into the executive most of which turned out to be of low character. The Grant admistration was wrackme by corruption , payoffs and scandal.\nso there YOu have it US GRANT

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!

Obviously it is declining. George Bush has the lowest poll ratings since Nixon. Largest Deficits in history, No child left behind is a failed policy, Medicare is a disaster; Scandals involving his and Cheney's chief's of staff, Illegal wire taps, outing spies, cover-ups about war in Iraq; Gas prices $3.00 and predicted to get to $5.00 per gal.. I am a democrat, but do not involve myself in name-calling. FOX NEWS always puts there SPIN MACHINE into action, as to shed the best light on the issues, and blame Bill Clinton for many of GWB's problems. After 6 years of GWB's failing policies, too many mistakes have been made. The republicans are trying to get their mojo back, who knew they had it before? Bush is doing great for the late night comics, you can't make up this ridiculous stuff.
