Bush Disapproval Rating Only One Side of the Story

POSTED BY: CubbyChaser

Sure, we all know that George W. Bush's 28% approval rating has failed to bet all time lows set by luminary presidents Harry Truman (22%) and Richard Nixon (24%), but there's one area in which our current president reigns supreme.

According to a new Gallup Poll, Bush's disapproval rating is now at 71% -- setting the record for the highest disapproval rating of any modern President.

"No president has ever had a higher disapproval rating in any CNN or Gallup Poll; in fact, this is the first time that any president's disapproval rating has cracked the 70 percent mark," said Keating Holland, CNN's polling director.

Nevertheless, some White House insiders claim that Bush is nevertheless emboldened by a recent favorable review in Apocalypse Magazine which gave his presidency 3 and 1/2 Horsemen.

  1. Why is everyone concerned over George Ws' numbers? He has a plan everyone will gain from. First we invade Iran (Gotta do it to stabilize the region), use the Patriot act to declare a National energency, thus Marshall Law, then suspend the elections and appoint Cheney as "National Protector "and then retire to Crawfod with his Lego Blocks, choo-choo train collection and build a merry-go-round. As he believes, if I am happy everyone else must be.

  3. Who does these poles? No one asked me. We should be out of Iraq; Its like keeping your finger in the hole of a damn. But who is to say what history books will say about him in the future. Everyone wanted to go to war with Iraq when they were in discordance with the treaty from the first Golf War, but no one wants our troops to stay and protect the innocent and weak, and help rebuild their country. Everyone is stuck on the fact that we never found WMDs, but no one cares that we found factories capable of mass producing WMDs within five days (along with the materials).
    Why is it one person's fault that our economy is not doing well? We are in an economic war with the rest of the world where everyone is trying to lower the value of the dollar. Why are people still buying foreign cars and deadly products made in China? Support your country and only buy American made products. How are US citizens suppose to compete with workers who live in sheds and get paid little to nothing? How are we suppose to compete with countries who don't have the same standards as us.

  4. Dubya apparently believes that "bigger is better" in all things. He must excel in"algerbreeze"(my submission in Addictionary's There Oughta Be A Word) as the new math in the "No Child Left Behind" program!

  9. Maybe someone told him that the prefix "dis" appearing before the word "approval" means "really approves".
