Bush boy's poll rating below 30%
 
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060512...NlYwMlJVRPUCUl

Only 29 percent of Americans now believe President George W. Bush is doing a good job, according recent poll

The poll, conducted by the Wall Street Journal, is the latest to indicate a slump in public support for the US leader as his Republican party heads into the campaign for mid-term elections in November.

In the poll, released in the newspaper's online edition, Bush has lost six percentage points in a month.

Iraq remains the main concern. Twenty-eight percent of Americans say it is one of the two most important topics, up from 23 percent in April, followed by immigration (16 percent) and the price of petrol (gasoline) (14 percent).

Only 24 percent of the 1,003 people asked between May 3-8 said they believed the United States was "heading in the right direction". According to the Journal, 69 percent said "things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track".

Bush is closing in on the unpopularity level of President Richard Nixon (24 percent) at the moment of his resignation in 1974 over the Watergate scandal.



Oh gosh, I don't know whether to feel happy or scared about this. He can do a lot worse now to raise his poll numbers in desperation.

I know, I can't believe anyone would think the man's doing a good job.

He is on his last term. Does it really matter anymore? I just wish he'd get a blowjob already and we can impeach.

Don't be surprised if he invades Iran now to boost his ratings. Oh, I'm going to be sick.

Sad thing is 29% could still win him an election.

The repub operatives are planning on bringing out their favorite punching bags - homos and abortion - to try and get some traction for the mid term elections. Add another invasion, and the numbers might go up.

I think another invasion would be the death knell.
