President Bush’s job-approval rating has fallen to its lowest mark of his presidency, according to a new Harris Interactive poll. Of 1,003 U.S. adults surveyed in a telephone poll, 29% think Mr. Bush is doing an “excellent or pretty good” job as president, down from 35% in April and significantly lower than 43% in January. Approval ratings for Congress overall also sank, and now stand at 18%. Roughly one-quarter of U.S. adults say “things in the country are going in the right direction,” while 69% say “things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track.” This has been the trend since January, when 33% said the nation was heading in the right direction. Iraq remains a key concern for the general public, as 28% of Americans said they consider Iraq to be one of the top two most important issues the government should address, up from 23% in April. The immigration debate also prompted 16% of Americans to consider it a top issue, down from 19% last month, but still sharply higher from 4% in March. The Harris poll comes two days after a downbeat assessement of Bush in a New York Times/CBS News poll. The Times, in analyzing the results, said “Americans have a bleaker view of the country’s direction than at any time in more than two decades.”

Bush's poll numbers are expected to rebound after the apocalypse. At least that's what his handlers say.
pandora on bartcop made an interesting point: "Along with the few looters who are profiting with the BFEE, I think the bulk of the remaining support comes from haters. Bush, like his Dad and Reagan gives people permission to HATE. (Hell, they encourage hate) No matter whether it's race, religion, nationality - these creeps live to hate someone. The best and most significant change that Clinton brought (for me) was that the HATEMONGERING index went WAAAY down." http://bartcopnation.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=2&topic_id=390614&mesg_id=390629&page=
Now exactly what was wrong with Reagan?
He worked for
what's wrong with working for GE. Especially back then. You have to admit, it was a much greater country when Reagan was the Prez.
G.E. was in large part culpable for Vietnam war, that's what's wrong.
How were they partially culbable. My dad fought in Viet Nam. He was already in the army. I used to think it was justified. Now I think it was a big waste of life.
This Welch sounds like a real asshole.

Founded by the American icon Thomas Edison, GE is now headed by Jack Welch, who has said, "Ideally you'd have every plant you own on a barge" -- ready to move if any national government tried to impose restraints on the factories' operations, or if workers demanded better wages and working conditions.
