Latest CNN Poll: The public is not pleased with Bush
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Twenty-three percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll released Thursday say that compared to other presidents in American history, President Bush is the worst ever.

Thirty-five percent of those surveyed say that Bush is doing a poor job compared to other presidents and 40 percent said he was doing a good job compared to his predecessors. Only one percent said that Bush was the best president ever in American history.

Thirty-four percent of those surveyed approve of how Bush is handling his job as president. That’s down slightly from the 36 percent who approved of the President's job performance when we asked the same question last month.

Bush’s approval rating has consistently been below 40 percent for more than a year.

"The last president with approval ratings this low for this long was Harry Truman. Truman's approval rating dropped below 50 percent in January 1950 and stayed below that mark for the rest of his presidency, says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland, adding that “Bush won't reach that milestone for several months.”

There continues to be a partisan split regarding President Bush. Seventy-two percent of Republicans polled approve of Bush’s performance. That number drops to 12 percent among Democrats. Twenty-seven percent of independents approve of the President’s handling of his job.

The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation telephone poll of 1,024 American adults was conducted Friday through Sunday. The sampling error was plus or minus three percentage points.

1. 12% of Democrats approve of Bush's performance?
Who would that be, Lieberman's extended family?

4. LOL, hey, I want to meet the 1% who think he is the greatest president.
Would that be the freepers by any chance?

3. 72 percent of Republicans approve the Madness of King George. Bipartisanship? Hah.
Spare me the bipartisanship of the Reichstag Republicans. All that has happened, and STILL he gets the approval of 72 percent of Republicans. That's that hardcore overall 25 percent that he will never lose; he could tear the heads off small birds in the Rose Garden, shit his pants and burn a Bible at a nationally televised ceremony in the Rose Garden and he would STILL get 72 percent approval by Republicans.

There is no bipartisanship with insanity like this crew. We have to beat them, and QUIT APOLOGIZING for it.
