Interesting Polls
 
I just read a Newsweek article that said that Bush' approval rating is 31% right now. I know how wildly these polls can swing. At one time, his approval rating was 90%.

Anyway, this is the lowest his approval rating his been but it's not unusual for a President's approval rating to be this low at some point. When you look at all the Presidents of the last 40 years, they all had extremely low approval ratings at some point during their Presidency. Clinton's approval rating was as low as 36%, George Bush Senior's approval rating was as low as 29%, Reagan's was 35%, Jimmy Carter's was 28%, and Nixon's was 23%.

I didn't realize that every single President the last 40 years had numbers so low at some point during their Presidency.

Wow, I just noticed that Nancy Pelosi's approval rating is almost as low as the President. Pelosi's approval rating is 34%.

Line graph...
Nancy's going up, Dubbya's going down.

Looks like this: Nancy P = ^
Dubbya = down, lame, spinning....err, um, uh what's a spiral?

the good thing is that 98% of the population don't really know a thing about Nancy Pelosi, other than that she's pretty liberal. We'll see where she stands in a year or so.

I was surprised to read that earlier today as well --always thought approval numbers were a waste of time anyway.

I doubt Bush or Pelosi's can go down any further. I don't know where you see Nancy Pelosi's approval rating going up. If anything it will go down when people get to know her politics.


The greatest thing in that poll is that 45% of people will not vote for Hillary Clinton for President under any circumstances, which means she is done. :p

Has anyone else noticed that Hillary is distancing herself from Pelosi and the other liberals? On a side note, Saturday Night Live has got Pelosi down pat. I'm not sure who it was imitating her but it was a riot!
