New lows for President Bush.

By Amanda Terkel on Jun 13th, 2007 at 1:19 pm

New lows for President Bush.

Bush’s approval ratings hit all-time lows in two polls. At 28 percent, Bush’s approval rating is the “lowest score ever in a Quinnipiac University national poll.”

    I’m high on Bush’s new lows!


  2. Tom3 says:

    This is the third poll in three months to go below 30%.

    Chimpy is crashing and burning. Good.


  3. RoboTroll 3100 says:

    RoboTroll3100 reports:

    Bush doesn’t pay attention to polls.

    Bush is not running for reelection.

    What about Nancy Pelosi’s poll numbers?

    Look over there! Iran is a bad guy!


  4. spit take says:

    Cue someone complaining about how “every day there’s a new low, and some of them aren’t as low as earlier numbers” in 3-2-1…


  5. Kilo says:

    Was it also his highest ever in a “Quinnipiac University national poll” ?
    Because nobody’s pretending they’ve ever heard of this bunch.


  6. RUCerious says:

    Just looked at the LA Times/Bloomberg that had him at 34/62/4, but then looked at the previous LAT/B and it was 36/62/2, so 2% who used to approve now aren’t sure.
    Back to the good old 28% now.
    I wonder where the chymp plans on spending his political capital nickel now.


  7. RUCerious says:

    Kilo, you are truly moronic. Every political statistician is familiar with Q and it has a good reputation for accuracy, so stop projecting your moronity.


  8. Tom3 says:

    I’ve heard of that bunch. They’re up in Maine.

    Dumbass Repuke troll. Pay attention, moron.


  9. War4Sale says:

    “Bush’s approval rating is the “lowest score ever in a Quinnipiac University national poll.”

    The RNC trolls must be so proud today! Bush has finally found something he’s the best at!

  11. hil says:

    28%… who ARE these people?!


  12. Tom3 says:

    Chimpy is bottoming out in ALL the polls.

    But then, he’s a bottom boy.

    He likes being on bottom, ask Jeffy Lube Gannon.


  13. RoboTroll 3100 says:

    RoboTroll 3100 reports:

    Additional Report:

    This polling outfit is irrelevant.

    Polls are irrelevant.

    You guys are all irrelevant!

    Elections have consequences. (Note — outdated talking point. Stop using.)

    Um… Clinton Did It Too.â„¢


  14. Badmoodman says:

    Great. And how, exactly, has Bush’s 28% approval rating gotten our troops out of that hellhole in Iraq?


  15. Tom3 says:

    “28%… who ARE these people?!”

    Illiterate, inbred redneck fundies.


  16. Kilo says:

    Kilo, you are truly moronic. Every political statistician is familiar with Q

    Er… okay.
    I say again… nobody has heard of this bunch.

    and it has a good reputation for accuracy, so stop projecting your moronity.

    That’ll be why they arrived at the same poll result that’s already been reported as a record low 3 times in the past month.


  17. RUCerious says:

    Yes, Kilo, you are a nobody.


  18. Redneck, Redsate says:

    The 28% are Diebold bits and bites.


  19. Kilo says:

    Yes, Kilo, you are a nobody.

    That’s an interesting statement considering the topic of this article.

    What do you think you count when posting in yet another article about a President and his war with their Nixon-level approval ratings ?

    When his approval ratings drop to single digits will you still type “impeach” and “stop the war” just as you did when his approval ratings were in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s ?

    Maintained the idea that you were somebody who’s opinion counted throughout have you ? How bizarre.


  20. Kriss says:

    My rusted trailer neighbor down the road still has his faded W ‘04 sticker on his mailbox, his truck, and his lawnjockey.


  21. Kay says:

    Well, it’s about time.

    I.Q. meet Rating.


  22. WH Dress Secretary says:

    Mr. Indigent, sir?
    Any comments, sir?
    Sir?


  23. Tobey Tall says:

    how low can you go – Bush has 9% support in the UK


  24. Sharon says:

    Frankly speaking I don’t give a good happy crap about his poll number’s..The only number I would be happy with concerning bull shit bush is the one they issue and put over the pocket on an orange jump suit in the joint….Blessings


  25. Kay says:

    The 28% :

    deluded rednecks that think there actually is a “war on terror”, isolated christian right, rich bastards that don’t a rat’s ass about anyone else and trolls.


  26. heyzeus says:

    “My rusted trailer neighbor down the road still has his faded W ‘04 sticker on his mailbox, his truck, and his lawnjockey.”

    I’ve been noticing many vehicles with these same stickers poorly scraped off, enough is left that they can still be identified………….


  27. freedomrings says:

    Imagine that; 28% of the nation has 78% of the nation held hostage! With statistics like that it will be a one day civil war for the majority to regain control.


  28. Kay says:

  29. Chris L says:

    I just hope he starts campaigning with whoever wins the republican primary. I would love for Bush to be at every speech, photo op, and fundraiser.


  30. Damian says:

    Bush in his last throes?


  31. Zooey says:

    Comment by heyzeus

    Heh. I’ve been noticing more Kerry/Edwards bumperstickers — suspiciously new looking. :D


  32. HeckuvahJob Brownie says:

    Any new droppages in polls are probably a consequence of rising oil prices. The MURDER toll in Iraq doesn’t seem to bother the Base.


  33. dlet says:

    Funny thing is the only people that love him in this world are in Albania and even there someone stole his watch. Soory can’t post links but go to BBC’s Americas section and look on the right for the video.


  34. rf7777 says:

    I am not sure any further drop in the polls is a good thing.

    Any lower and he will surely become a complete pariah and the republicans can actually use it to their advantage by campaigning AGAINST Bush.


  35. Marie says:

    Lower! Lower! How low can he go!
    It makes no matter though,
    because he refuses to go.
    His friends won’t impeach him, they defend him. They cover for him.
    Despite this, if he manages to be ousted, we will get Cheney. Status quo.
    We need a very large broom to sweep the whole lot of them out of the White House.
    I don’t see it happening.

    My car is adorned with several bumper stickers: anti war and anti Bush — the number of people who pull up along side of me and offer support and agreement is very gratifying.


  36. Marie says:

    Sharon, your comment at #24 is perfect!!


  37. brando says:

    What a horrid farce we have for a president.

    Did you guys know that the W04 logo was stolen? Yeah, this Bush supporter came up with the W “waving falg” thing and sent it to the RNC. They told him they weren’t interested. Couple of weeks later, he sues the RNC to get his graphic arts fees for creating the logo.

    Republicans, they even steal from their own.


  39. Spudge_Boy says:

    Funny thing is the only people that love him in this world are in Albania and even there someone stole his watch.

    dlet,

    The people in Albania are cheering for the US President. THey are happy about what Clinton did for them. Bush hasn’t done sh!t. I wonder what it would be like if Clinton, their true hero went there?

    “It is not uncommon to see on Albanian beaches many American Flag motif bikinis and speedos. The autobiography of Bill Clinton is one of the highest-selling books in the country, and The West Wing with Albanian subtitles is a very popular television show.”


  40. powkat says:

    SERIOUS Nixon territory!


  41. powkat says:

    Clinton’s numbers on leaving office were higher than when he was first elected. Only president in 50+ years to do so.

    You live for those, don’t you?
    I understand though, it’s tough to come here and post after the Tigers beat the living snot out of your beloved Mets.
    I’m just kidding of course. I’ve been so busy (had to golf in a charitable event Monday) that I didn’t have time to rub it in!
    Oh well, at least the Mets were able to hit!


  51. Badmoodman says:

    “Funny thing is the only people that love him in this world are in Albania and even there someone stole his watch.” – - Ummm, nope, not so much, they didn’t.


  52. VerbalKint says:

    28%… who ARE these people?!
    Comment by hil — June 13, 2007 @ 1:33 pm

    Kilo, for one. I expect Kilo to be a 15 percenter soon enough.


  53. Tom3 says:

    Whenever I see a W sticker, I don’t wait for them to scrape it off.

    I give them a little help with my keys.

    Scraping a swastika into the W sticker, down to the paint and primer underneath, makes that sticker much more easier to remove.

    I’d rather shoot them, but that’s a felony.


  54. Ben Dover says:

    This is great news. Only…when are we going to break the “all time low” barrier of 28 percent that has now been reached in at least 3 polls with which I’m familiar? Can Chimpy McAWOL sill hold that much sway with the neanderthal segment of the Reich wing nuts? At least at 28 percent that tells us that a few Repugnicans have seen the light also. Maybe there’s hope for a 2 point 8 percent approval rating by the time he is supposed to leave office.


  55. Tom3 says:

    JIMBO DUDE HAS THE BEST WEED IN TOWN.


  56. ct says:

    pelosi and reid’s numbers are even lower. as they should be.


  57. Exley says:

    DRxJ,

    Feel free to mock the Mets….They deserve it. They have been playing terribly lately. A true “June Swoon.”


  58. Tom3 says:

    The 28%ers would continue to support Chimpy even if he screwed a Boy Scout on the White House lawn on live TV.

    Actually, it would be the Boy Scout humping Chimpy. Chimpy is a bottom boy. He loves the cock.


  59. Tom3 says:

    “Do you approve or disapprove of the way Nancy Pelosi is handling her job as speaker of the House?”

    36% Approve
    39% Disapprove
    25% Unsure

    LA Times/Bloomberg Poll 6/7-10/07


  60. jim prendergast says:

    the reason that thte albanians liked bush was because rove told the crowd it was steve martins wild and crazy guy visiting them


  61. Jackie says:

    Now worries Bush’s rating could be zero and nothing will happen. If American Idol is on TV on election day Bush could be the President for another 4 years. Now it was a good pay day in Albania as Bush was greeted like a Rock Star. Maybe they should have the drunk dummy as their President and watch their country sink to it’s lowest. Bush isn’t concerned about the rating because Karl Rove has the American people in check. Just use God’s name or put the fear of 9/11 back on TV and Americans will cow to King George. Lott is bringing back those Black/White signs and needs people to freshen up the paint job. Now there’s employment for you non Republicans. Hourly rate is 3 dollars plus taxes are taken out with a Republican surcharge and your balance is twenty five cents an hour folks.


  62. Tom3 says:

    The Albanians loved Chimpy so much, they stole his watch.

    With friends like this, Chimpy needs more enemas.


  63. Dale says:

    #57, that doesn’t matter, the objective is to find something, *anything* to bash Pres. Bush. Quit trying to obscure things with facts.

    #63, it’s been proved his watch wasn’t stolen… try to keep up, will you?


  64. dlet says:

    Ummm, nope, not so much, they didn’t.

    Comment by Badmoodman

    Why, because the Secret Service said so? Um yeah okay…sure.


  65. JTitor says:

    Have you ever noticed that Bush doesn’t really care how low his poll numbers are? He just keeps fu@king us in the ass all the way to the end.


  66. heyzeus says:

    #64….
    yeah, proved by Bushco, like:
    WMDs,
    Saddam and El Cracko,
    uranium from Niger,
    and on and on ad nauseum….


  67. Dale says:

    #67, no, proved by NBC…

    Considering you and I have shown the same level of support for the President but only you are able to be part of these %, I think you’re projecting there.


  69. SKdeA says:

    Heh. I’ve been noticing more Kerry/Edwards bumperstickers — suspiciously new looking. :D

  72. Harry Truman says:

    Good News Harry Reid is about the least popular man in America right now. His approval ratings are at an astounding 19%. Too bad, Harry. Maybe it’s because you supported “the President’s bill.”
