11/10 Faux News shows 36% approve of Dubya's job performance http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob1.htm \_ Didn't we already go over this whole thing? What happens if his ratings drop to 0? Nothing. What does it mean? Nothing. I guess if it amuses you, whatever, it's harmless but you seem really hung up on it. \_ yes, we did, but it appears that you didn't actually learn anything. \_ I learned too many people are obsessed with the wrong things and think random numbers on a lame duck president matter. Politics is local. GWB didn't brain wash half the country. When he's out of office and forgotten those 51% will still vote the same way. \_ I'm hoping the 20% of people who apparently changed their minds since Bush's second election won't vote in another nation- wrecking idiot. --PeterM \_ Fat chance. their attention spans are too short to remember any of this stuff in 2008. Especially if it's vs. Hillary. \_ Yup in a few years Katrina, Plamegate, etc., will be drowned out by the usual God, Guns & Gays. \_ There's no "there" there. \_ If the president has a low approval rating it becomes a lot harder for him to convince modertate congresscritters to take his side. That matters a lot. \_ It also makes it potentially harder to keep a decisive edge in the interim elections. \_ Politics is local. If politics were national, then the whole country would be (R) since we've had more (R) years at the top level in the last 30 years than (D). |
