Record 90 percent of voters say country is seriously off track.
Record 90 percent of voters say country is seriously off track.
According to a new ABC poll, 90 percent of registered voters say the country is going in the wrong direction. Only 23 percent approve of President Bush:
Given the global economic crisis, a record 90 percent of registered voters say the country is seriously off on the wrong track, the most since this question first was asked in 1973. At 23 percent, Bush’s job approval rating has fallen below Nixon’s lowest; it’s a point away from the lowest in 70 years of polling, set by Harry Truman in early 1952. Bush’s disapproval, meanwhile, is at an all-time record — 73 percent. … Reflecting these economic worries, just 44 percent of Americans are confident they’ll have enough money to carry them through retirement.
In August, a USA Today/Gallup poll found that 80 percent of the electorate said the country is headed in the wrong direction.

October 13th, 2008 at 4:02 pmThe latest from Noam Chomsky regarding the Financial crisis:
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article20992.htm
(I had actually never heard of Bretton Woods before this.)
October 13th, 2008 at 4:06 pmbush has going against the wishes of the majority of Americans since he took office with the complicity of the gop. They are getting a strong message now.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:06 pm90% say the country is going in the wrong direction, yet only 73% disapprove of Bush. Now we know the number of complete dumbasses in this country is 17%.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:10 pmAnd the 10% are at the McPalin rallies.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:10 pmIf our country is akin to a train, and the train is off the track, and 90% of the people think so, then why do 41% of the same people think a new conductor who agreed with the old conductor 90% of the time will ever get us back on the right track?
We need a new conductor. Not a remake of the old conductor with fresh overalls and gray hair.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:14 pmNow, the question to ask is, of those 90% who feel this country is heading in the wrong direction, how many will still vote for McSame because the other candidate is a socialist. An elitist socialist at that?
Or, how many refuse to break from the (R) party affiliation, even though 4 more years means “heading down the same path of deterioration, destruction, and debt”?
October 13th, 2008 at 4:15 pmThere are some dumb people in America….how can Bush’s approval rating still be at 23%…? Mind boggling.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:16 pm#6, actually it’s worse than that. The Bushies and their cronys have torn up the tracks. We need to build new ones.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:17 pmoh, thats just a focus group.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:18 pmEven assuming that every one of the 10% who believe this country isn’t going in the wrong direction is a Bush supporter, this still leaves 13% who support Bush but believe the country is seriously off track.
Who are they blaming? Oh, right. That razor-thin majority of Dems in Congress are to blame for all our ills and Bush is doing the best he can despite those evil liberals.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:18 pmAwfully hard for McCain to overcome this emotional panic. Ignoring the economy in favor of touting his “underdog” status also hurts…

In the debate the other night McCain blamed Herbert Hoover.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:21 pmI guess we’ve hit the pain threshold for the trolls, huh?
October 13th, 2008 at 4:23 pmI can’t understand why anyone would vote for more of the same. I wish the MSM would talk about the fact that McCain would be the OLDEST president ever elected. The “OLDEST and the “DUMBEST” on th same ticket. Scares me to death.

It reflects ACCURATELY the ratio of Democratic voters to Republican voters these days, moron.

Where are the Exleys of the past to defend McCain’s campaign?
And the JMH’s to proudly antagonize us as why the left is always wrong?
Perhaps their cajones are not as large as they like us to believe.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:37 pmMaybe, with the inevitable defeat, they scurry away like bugs to light, never to defend their stance, or accept the loss and offer congratulations.
That’s what I call true cowardice, just like Oxy-breath, who stated, after the Dems took control (albeit not a majority), that he was tired of being the water carrier for the CONservatives.
And um, Johnny…?
While you’re busy congratulating GeeDumbya, you might reflect a moment on how he did it: by having the feds buy the banks.
In other words —- SOCIALISM.

You didn’t mention John McCain. That means you have no confidence in the GOP ticket.

Now that’s the kind of entrepreneurism, this country needs!
Way to go, John!
October 13th, 2008 at 4:40 pmI’m certain that the chymp will figure out some way to get his approval rating in the teens before he leaves.
Maybe taking a dump in the Rose Garden, or drop kicking the dog, bombing Iran, you know, just fratboy fun…
October 13th, 2008 at 4:40 pmWhoops.

October 13th, 2008 at 4:40 pmJK, tell me how you infer that from the methodologdy for the poll. According to what I read at the end of the article, there were 1,000+ people polled. It was proportional to state populations and overweighted only for African Americans (150) and 18-29 year olds (201).
October 13th, 2008 at 4:41 pmThats right! I have to remind myself that facts just get in the way of your wingnut fantasies. Never mind.
Hey, KerryPhony ~ how about you pony up the difference in my 401k for the last two weeks, if your guy is so great!
October 13th, 2008 at 4:42 pmThat’ll be $43,000, please.

Another flat out lie from the loser troll. Listen, dimwit, over 1000 people were polled, including 766 likely voters, so obviously you pulled your numbers out of your ass.
Pathetic.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:51 pmIts called fearmongering Scalcar. Its all the Rethuglicans have left. Won’t work this time though. I think everyone has wised up.

And, before we give anyone too much credit for today’s spike in the Dow, please be reminded that after the biggest one day jump in history it’s still more than a thousand points down from the day Chimpy was inaugurated.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:56 pmAh, gotta love those 10%-ers.
Well, not really.

Oh by the way, let’s all thank the great George Bush for getting the DOW up almost 1000 (that’s ONE THOUSAND!!) points today! Hey, if the great man can bring it down we all know he can bring it up…AS HE DID!! Congratulations W!
Hey, John, Perhaps you could tell us precisely on what page of the PDF with the poll information that indicates that 400 of the 600 polled were Democrats? (actually, it was 1,101 at selected at random that were polled). The poll, however, did seem to indicate a “flight” from the Republican party. And as Bush “bringing up the DOW,” I give a good deal more credit to the Europeans who led with direct capital infusion with equity as payment, and that the Bush administration has only accepted reluctantly since their first (as usual “free-market solutions) obviously were not increasing confidence….the real driver of economics today. You are completely deluded.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:00 pmMore than that Pete is the fact that we still don’t know if what the EU, Britain and the US is doing will actually work. There is still a lot of fear out there and as I posted in another thread, One Day Does Not A Trend Change Make.

Even I know the futility of trying to reason with someone who’s hopped up on hallucinogens, but it’s a slow afternoon.
First, you allege that two thirds of the people polled are Democrats. These appear to be numbers you just pulled out of your butt, because ABC polled 1,101 people, not 600. They polled more Democrats than Republicans because there ARE more Democrats than there are Republicans, and their poll sampling is designed to be proportional to the general population. I can find no evidence anywhere in their full report that their sample of Democrats made up two thirds of all polled.
Second, you credit Bush with the stock market rally today. If Bush was capable of doing this all by himself, why didn’t he do it earlier? Why is it that after he addressed the nation, the market plummeted further? Why is it that even after his bailout package was approved, it still went down? Most conventional wisdom points to the meetings this past weekend of the G-7 with today’s rise — and the same conventional wisdom cautions that we may not be out of the woods yet.
Third — will you grace us with your presence on November 5? You’ve been showing more cowardice than usual lately — drive-by posting instead of hanging around — so I doubt we’ll hear a peep from you after Election Day.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:04 pmThis little old lady actually believes what she’s been told and is truly scared. She has been so flooded with lies she terrified that the US will be taken over by terrorists, that her and her families lives will be at risk, and that America will cease to exist.
I’m sure she loves and believes ,whether they be family, friends, radio and tv personalities or politicians, these horror stories they tell her. There are thousands just like them who are tricked into a state of fear. That is truly abuse and that’s shameful.
Fear has been used to manipulate the American people on many issues, with Iraq and the Patriot Act being among the most notable. Reactionary right wing radio and FOX news have participated with the government and corporate interests in getting a message out benefiting them, without regard to what’s best for the United States.
This is what propaganda is.
It’s illegal in this country.
It’s also why Rush, Sean and the rest of hate radio and FOX news are guilty of crimes against the American people along with complacency in war crimes.

October 7 – McCain had a small lead
October 13 – Obama now leads by 8 biggies!
Looks like their hate agenda has backfired totally and they are now suffering the “hate fallout”. People remember the problems of the 60’s in this country – that’s the last thing we need now and, if were up to these two war-mongering, hate fanatics, we’d be regressed right back there again.
Honestly, this had everything to do with the economy melting down and nothing to do with tactics of either man. Hell, McCain is getting booed at his own rallies by his own supporters for not being mean enough.
A month ago gas prices and Iraq were going to decide the election and McCain was up. Now…pure economy. And the worst thing is, no matter who wins I see no cavalry riding to the rescue on that one.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:08 pmShoeless, I’ve suspended my contributions to my 401(K) for now. No sense in throwing good money after bad. I’m paying down debt with it. When the Market decides that enough is enough then I’ll get back in.

October 13th, 2008 at 5:14 pmI didn’t mean to suggest a trend, Jim. And the “gains” look a little empty when one considers the trillions of dollars/euros/yen etc that have been pumped into the accounts of speculative bankers. Then one factors in the plunging price of oil and we have already seen a 20%-25% fall in the value of the world’s currencies. Unfortunately, much of that loss is gone for good regardless of what occurs on Wall Street.

So Nettles, you believe the country is seriously off track and your answer is (drum roll please) to vote Republican and continue to not hold the Republicans accountable! Yay!
October 13th, 2008 at 5:23 pmIt is not JuST the fact that the Economy has Severely deteriorated in the past weeks, that has sent
Sen. McCain’s poll numbers down.
It Is Sen. McCAins Erratic and Confused REACTION to this situation that has Sealed McCains Fate.
Voters are contrasting McCain’s Style of Crisis Management with Sen. Obama’s Calm, Thoughtfull, and Practical Demeanor.
A majority of Voters Now want Sen. Obama to be in Charge, during a crisis.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:26 pmOh, I know Pete. I was just expanding on what you wrote in your post with what I see out there right now. And I agree with you on what you’ve said. Especially in your last post. The damage that has been done is very pervasive and is going to be very difficult to fix. If we can.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:29 pmThe GOP has held the White House for 20 of the last 28 years. They have had a majority in the House and/or Senate for 22 of those years. Add a dollop of control of the Supreme Court and one is left with the inescapable conclusion that the GOP has driven policy for most of the last three decades.
Oddly enough, many of the best times our country has enjoyed in those decades occurred when the GOP held one or less of the “big three”. And the GOP is squarely to blame for, arguably, the biggest blunders in U.S. history. No internal force has damaged our country so much since the Civil War.
Politics, philosophy, and ideology need not be considered. The horrendous results of the GOP, combined with the blind faith adherence to failed policy, disqualifies them from serious consideration as “leaders”.
And until such time as the keynote speaker at their National Convention says, “we’re sorry about the Bush Administration, the guilty have been purged and it won’t happen again” they are worthy of nothing but our contempt and derision.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:38 pmWTF do the “shady Loan practices by Maxine Waters, Barney Frank, Pat Kennedy, and other House Democrats.” have to do with the economy melting down under the gentle hand of deregulation? Accountability means if they break the law, they go to jail. Why isn’t Bush in jail at Den Hague?
October 13th, 2008 at 6:09 pmSince when did Maxine Waters and Barney Frank dabble in “shady loan practices”?
When did House Democrats open their own mortgage brokerage?
Nettles ain’t much as trolls go, but it looks like he’s all we got. Still, you gotta admire the balls it takes to blame this economic mess on the party that has been utterly shut out of power virtually since the turn of the century.

Seriously, if “the dems” managed to gut the economy while the GOP was in charge? It’s time to disband the GOP. Effing moron.
October 13th, 2008 at 6:45 pmJust saw on CNN.com that Treasury has settled on a $250 Billion Plan to take an equity stake in Banks. The devil is in the details (none yet, the news just broke) but hopefully its a step in the right direction.
October 13th, 2008 at 6:51 pmLike Paul Krugman wrote this morning we have wasted precious time. Hopfully its not too late.
Anything “good” that has happened under W only looks good compared to the depths to which he took it. This is true when he brags about cutting unemployment, reducing the budget deficit, and certainly with today’s increase in the Dow. The Dow increased 350% under Bill Clinton. Dubya inherited it at 10,700. Do the math, John Kerry.
These trillions of dollars for the wars and for the finanacial bailouts—–we do not have this money. It is just piled onto a mountain of debt that can only be paid off by raising taxes. And the Repubs say we can never do that!
October 13th, 2008 at 9:00 pmOMG!!! If that many people say the country’s in ruins, then it must be true!!! The sky is falling, the sky is falling!
I can only presume that a significant majority of these same people get their “news” from CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, PMSNBC ad nauseum. Garbage in – garbage out, as they say.
Here’s a newsflash for you doom and gloomers – the U.S. ECONOMY was doing pretty good up until the recent financial crisis. Remember, the economy and the financial sector, while linked are NOT the same thing.
You ought to be asking yourselves this: Who benefits politically at this particular moment in history if the economy tanks?
Obama is actually about to gget his third strike, then he’s OUTTA there! Her’s how it may go for him:
STRIKE 1 – Obama railed against the war in Iraq and eclared the surge could not work. He was counting on the U.S. to fail and fail miserably, then he could coast to victory in November. TOO BAD! this didn’t come to pass as we all know.
STRIKE 2 – Obama was more than happy to see the surge in gasoline prices work! His only regret was that it HAPPENED TOO FAST! He and his allies cried hallelujah, because the increases looked like they would go on forever! People would be mad and blame the Republicans, and Obama could cruise to victory. NOT! How’s that workin for ya, Obama?
STRIKE 3 – The stock market would not start recovering from it’s worst week in history for months and certainly AFTER Nov. 4th! After two disappointing swings of the bat, here was the home run just sailing across home plate! It’s, it’s… Ah Nooooo, the stock market had it’s biggest one day gain in HISTORY today. The polls are starting to tighten again!
He’s outta there!
October 13th, 2008 at 9:59 pmTim Vacuous,
If you could comprehend this study, you could realize that 90% of Americans think you are wrong. That puts you in the lunatic fringe.
Here’s a newsflash for you doom and gloomers – the U.S. ECONOMY was doing pretty good up until the recent financial crisis.
22 million jobs created under Clinton. 4 million created under Bush. Middle class wages have dropped the past eight years when adjusted for inflation. First time that has happened since the Great Depression. Clinton did it while going from record deficits to record surpluses. Dubya did it while going from record surpluses to new record deficits.
Nobel-winning economist Krugman was warning about a coming financial crisis for at least two years. It was caused by conservative de-regulation.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:13 pmOnly drones want to go round and round upon a predetermined track.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:16 pm(via Sadly, No!)
“While all the polls suggest that Obama could win the election, I’ve interviewed several GOP operatives who shockingly say that he’s going to lose big-time.”
Karl Rove resigned from the Bush administration for a reason…to go undercover before this presidential election, keeping his extensive travels off the public records, while he scurries around our nation in the shadows, working on “the math,” which is Republican “code” for trying to steal another election, by whatever means possible.
Which means that if Rove’s “math” involves gaming the electoral college in some way, disenfranchising enough Democratic Party-leaning voters and “fixing” enough electronic voting machines, then McCain and Palin will win by a landslide…and civil war will break out in America the day after the election in November…especially if Obama and Biden enter election day with a commanding lead in the polls…and if exit polling indicates that they won handily.
Which may explain why the Bush/Cheney administration has been putting a police state in place, in preparation for the outrage of American citizens at so blatant a stealing of the White House occurring.
Hopefully, I’m wrong, but since Karl Rove and so many other “non-reality based community” Republicans are certifiably insane, I wouldn’t put anything past these corrupt, anti-American election stealers and neo-fascist police state pushers.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:22 pmwizard, if that happens, they wil say it was due to “the Bradley effect”. They are already talking this up. I believe that the opposite might be true: a lot of conservative rednecks who would never admit to voting for an African-American might vote for Obama because the Democrats are so obviously better on the economy.
Elections were stolen in 2000, ‘02, ‘04, and ‘06 (knocked down from a 11% margin to a 7% margin). I’m sure it will be attempted again.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:45 pmdamn pesky facts never stop these people.
October 13th, 2008 at 11:49 pmoooops. wrong thread.
October 13th, 2008 at 11:52 pmKeith,,Wake up! The only people trying to swing the election are Democrats, specifically ACORN and it’s blatant attempts at voter fraud.
Unlike the unfounded and bogus accusations you throw out, ACORN is actually under criminal investigation in a number of states as we speak.
October 14th, 2008 at 12:09 amT.V.—ACORN reported the discrepancies themselves. And McDepends was a supporter of ACORN.
The only ones who pulled voter fraud in the past were the GOP, how else could Gore have anegative count in that county in Florida?

Nothing worth the wast of life it takes to read. So you dont like the mainstream non Fox propaganda news? I suppose you would prefer everybody got their news, sorry propaganda from Rush, Hannity and the Fox propaganda network? No the economy was NOT doing pretty well at least not for the working class. Sure it was good if you owned an oil company but the median wage had barely risen at ALL since Bush took office and wages were no where NEAR keeping up with costs.
Obama railed against the useless waste of lives in Iraq and was RIGHT the surge did NOT work not according to the very 18 benchmarks Bush set up only a few of which were reached the rest was smoke and mirrors sure we paid off the Iraqi militias to stop killing each other and leave us alone but how long is THAT going to last? There STILL isnt much political legitimacy in Iraq and they are just holding till we leave. Your delusions do not define reality. Strike ONE
Got some evidence that Obama was HAPPY gas prices soared or is that you using those amazing mind reading powers that dont exist to just assign a venal motive. The rock bottom stupid in debate. Let ME do that I think YOU post as a conservative because you HATE America and want to see it destroyed economically. Wow thats easy just pick a motive out of thin air and claim its yours let me try again I think you hate Obama because you are a homosexual that has a crush on McThusela having a THING for older men. Yeah its stupid and worthless just like YOUR stupid worthless jibe. Stike TWO
The stock market went up because of the bailout that Obama voted for and that is a bad thing for Obama because you are a moron and just said it is. No one wants this financial crisis to go on any longer than it has to. Again you just assign a venal motive to Obama because you are too stupid to make an ACTUAL argument or because this is what you were instruted to say by those who pay you to troll here or because it is in the interest of your masters from Zeta Reticuli its all so stupid pretty much like YOU. Strike three I would say you are out of here but you were never in the reality based universe to begin with so its more like you are STILL out of here.

Keith,,Wake up! The only people trying to swing the election are Democrats, specifically ACORN and it’s blatant attempts at voter fraud.
Unlike the unfounded and bogus accusations you throw out, ACORN is actually under criminal investigation in a number of states as we speak.

October 14th, 2008 at 1:25 amHey EugeneDebs-come play on the top link, that’s where everyone else seems to be and you’re a lot of fun and everyone else seems to be in bed now :)
October 14th, 2008 at 1:31 amWe’re paying a horrendous price for allowing the idiot’s rise to power. Bush turned out to be way too costly for America. We simply can’t afford the luxury of letting a despot run this country. As we speak this country is teetering on the edge of fascism.
A ruler that rises to power by stealing elections and denying voters their right to vote is a failed ruler. 8yrs of failure have been hard to endure.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:31 amThe GOP has taken a step backwards (or a back flip) to the racist mindset of the fifties, DaTruth, that is, if they were ever out of that infantile stage. I think it started with the McCarthy-ist phrase “If you’re not with us you’re with the terrorists”.
I wish you guys would go to the Kristol link-I’m skipping back and forth a lot here and pretty soon I’ve got to get to bed.

Apparently there has been some ficticious registrations turned in by some working for ACORN—because workers get paid by how many new registrations they turn in. But ficticious people DO NOT VOTE. Mary Poppins does not vote.
US Attorney David Iglesias was fired for not prosecuting a crime that did not exist. Greg Palast asked for info on fradulent voting in New Mexico. He was given only six names and all six were legal voters.

Only someone totally divorced from reality would say that the surge in Iraq didn’t work! What an astoundingly ignorant statement.
You’re gonna have to come to table with a better argument than that!
October 14th, 2008 at 8:13 pmEugeneDebs,
I guess you don’t care how pathetic you look trying to counter a well-made argument with gutter talk.
Get a life.
