A new American Research Group Poll finds that President Bush's job approval has dropped 15 points in a month to 19%. This may be the lowest approval rating for an American President during the last half-century (Richard Nixon had a 24% approval rating before he resigned in 1974).
Among Republicans, 41% approve of the way Bush is handling the economy and 54% disapprove. Among Democrats, 93% disapprove of the way Bush is handling the economy and 1% approve. Among independents, 8% approve and 83% disapprove of the way Bush is handling the economy.
What are Americans optimistic about? Only 334 days until the next President is sworn in.
Obama is the natural result of having a bad prez!
Sometimes history produces the right man -- or woman -- at the right time.
The way things are going, there's a very good chance he's going to be swept into office on a tsunami of a mandate. In the sharpest contrast possible to the loser-in-chief in 2004, here's to Obama using what could be an enormous amount of political capital to turn this nation around. It's a time for big steps, giant steps, not itty-bitty centrist ones.
I agree, 19 percent is still too high; Bush is now so far down it's as if he's a bankrupt stock, so look out for a dead cat bounce.
HE'S THE MOST HATED PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY
HE'S THE BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT AMERICA HAS EVER HAD TO ENDURE
HE'S CLEARLY GUILTY OF NUMEROUS CRIMES RANGING FROM DOCUMENTED LIES ABOUT IRAQ THROUGH THE DESTRUCTION OF MILLIONS OF PROTECTED EMAILS THOUGH THE OVERT POLITICIZATION OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD CAN'T WE JUST IMPEACH HIM!!!??
and if he's not impeached, what precedent does it set for future presidents? Nixon wasn't half the criminal Bush is, but because he wasn't impeached we got Bush.
Could America survive the ideological heir and criminal superior of Bush?
the whole thing just has to make you sick
Among the items Bush's GOP congressional allies want to work on this month: continuing his tax cuts and extending the controversial No Child Left Behind Act. As for the war, they say, the news has been good, and Bushies believe that their guy will eventually get credit for opening the war on terrorism. But more immediately, they are predicting a remarkable poll shift to about 45 percent favorable by the time he leaves office next year.

Which raises the question...what sort of rabbit are they expecting to be pulled from the WH magic hat- or is the talk more "puffery and bluffery" ?
And more importantly, he is trying to remake his image as a "peace" president.
The poetic punishment for his acts is that he is smart enough to understand that he failed as a president. Unfortunately it seems that this will be the only punishment that he gets.
I'm not really one for retribution, but I sincerely hope that this man doesn't go to his grave until he understands and feels the sheer weight of what he's done.
I think that his understanding is closer to that of a little kid who burned up the tool shed, feels bad about, but doesn't understand the deep implications of arson.
