Bush Rating Drops To Lowest Rating Ever

Post-9/11 Era Forum

Bush Numbers Hit New Low; Dean Tops List of Democratic Presidential Contenders, New Zogby America Poll Reveals

President George W. Bush’s job performance ratings have reached the lowest point since his pre-Inauguration days, continuing a steady decline since a post-9/11 peak, according to a new Zogby America poll.

Less than half (45%) of the respondents said they rated his job performance good or excellent, while a majority (54%) said it was fair or poor. In August Zogby International polling, his rating was 52% positive, 48% negative. Today’s results mark the first time a majority of likely voters have given the president an unfavorable job performance rating since he took office.

A majority (52%) said it’s time for someone new in the White House, while just two in five (40%) said the president deserves to be re-elected. Last month, 45% said re-election was in order, and 48% said it was time for someone new.

A like number (52%) said the country is heading in the wrong direction, while 40% said it is the right direction.

Overall opinion of President Bush has also slipped to 54% favorable – 45% unfavorable, compared to August polling which indicated 58% favorable, 40% unfavorable.

Just two in five (40%) said they would choose Bush if the election were held today, while 47% said they would elect a Democratic candidate. In August polling, respondents were split (43% each) over President Bush or any Democratic challenger.

In the same poll, likely Democratic primary voters give a plurality of their support to former Vermont Governor Dr. Howard Dean (16%), whose campaign has been gathering support in recent polling. He is followed by Massachusetts Senator John Kerry (13%), Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman (12%), and Missouri Congressman Richard Gephardt (8%). No other candidate polled more than 3%.

Nearly two-thirds (63%) of the likely Democratic primary voters said it is somewhat or very likely that President Bush will be re-elected in November 2004, regardless of how they intend to vote.

The Zogby America poll involved 1,013 likely voters selected randomly from throughout the 48 contiguous states using listed residential telephone numbers. Polling was conducted from Zogby International’s Call Center in Utica, NY. The poll has a margin of sampling error of +/- 3.2%. The Democratic candidates’ portion of the poll involved 507 respondents, and has a margin of error of +/- 4.5%.

WTF is zogby? "listed residential telephone numbers" (from the -- lol -- 'zogby' international's call center in Utoca, NY)...

So 40% (according to "zogby") want Bush back in office, and the remaining 60% (Of zogby's poll) are divided amongst the other candidates? Bush will get re-elected, sounds good to me!

Imagine what the other polls will say...

It also dropped in the TIME/CNN poll.....that will shut you up

You pro-bush/anti-american.....thats what I will refer to you guys from now on

lol -- why would that shut me (or anyone) up? I didn't say his ratings weren't going down some! Show me where I disputed that. Of course ratings will flux when it's quiet, or when one side is "louder" than the other! People are like that. But, the way that artical is worded is SO biased (in my OPINION) that I had to mock it's credablility. 40% of American's want Bush re-elected. "Where as the remaing 60% (of that poll) all want a democrat to replace him." -- which means Bush wins in a landslide anyway. hehe.

I can't wait to see the actual statistics on voting day. "40% bush, 10% some guy, 10% some guy, 5%, 5%, 5%, 3%, 3%, etc etc etc..." see what I'm saying! If it's worded differently it could be GREAT news or TERRIBLE news! 300% more American's voted for Bush than any other candidate.

The anti-American, Euro-appeasement-monkeys just don't get it, sayzak21:

"We will do what is necessary, we will spend what is necessary, to achieve this essential victory in the war on terror, to promote freedom, and to make our own Nation more secure."

Lemme add two more :

It's very interesting when you think about it, the slaves who left here to go to America, because of their steadfast and their religion and their belief in freedom, helped change America.

Fight the war on terror but remain allies with the country that financed 9/11, and where 15 of the 19 hijackers were from


HYPOCRITES!

search- sure am glad you are still looking for the truth as your name implies, cuz otherwise i'd think you thought you knew everything by your posts! never be so certain of your words as you search, for you may end up chewing on them someday!

Curley joe, my answer to ur post is WDUFH NGHADSB!

Try to think out of the box. There are traditions, religions and nations which are more superior in terms of ancestry and heritage outside US, India being one.

If you slammed my post, I DONT MIND!
But if you slammed my tagline, it means truth is eternal and beautiful, to say the least! It is sanskrit, a language whcih traces its roots back into 5000 years back, and is still alive and kickin today!

BTW here is another one (my fav)

The war on terror involves Saddam Hussein because of the nature of Saddam Hussein, the history of Saddam Hussein, and his willingness to terrorize himself.

Nice to see you in pink! You look really pretty!

If you dont have anything to post, Please dont post! Dont quote others and write some crazy stuff.

Its not just that I hate Dubya, its us developing nations who take most of the brunt of this man's stupid, quixotic outpourings. I have said earlier, ad I repeat, I respect the feelings of all Americans, indeed I am a fan of Clinton. But this man, he has really made most american-haters than any other prez.

Take another one from him. Oh God!

The most important job is not to be governor, or first lady in my case.
