Toilet bowl: Latest Zogby Poll has Bu$h at 30%.
Edited on Fri Dec-08-06 07:43 PM by DemoTex
Released: December 08, 2006
Bush Job Approval: 30%

President slips to all-time low in the Zogby Poll as key demographic groups jump ship


The national job approval rating of President Bush has plummeted to 30%, an all–time low in the latest Zogby International telephone poll, sinking below the 31% approval rating he dropped to in early June.


The President’s positive job rating is down from 36% in late October, in the weeks heading into the congressional midterm elections. Since then, the Democrats swept to control of both houses of Congress, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld resigned and was replaced by Robert Gates, who said the U.S. is not winning the war in Iraq. Release of the Iraq Study Group’s report calling for significant change in the way the U.S. is conducting the Iraq war came as this latest Zogby poll was in the field.


Sixty–eight percent said they believe Bush is doing only a fair or poor job leading the nation.


Support for the President waned in key demographic groups, the Zogby poll shows. Among all Republicans, just 60% gave him a positive job rating, while 39% gave him negative marks. Just 9% of Democrats and 22% of political independents gave him good marks for his work. Among married respondents – typically a group who favors Republicans – just 35% said Bush was doing a positive job. Among men, another favorable GOP demographic, just 31% gave him positive marks, while 69% gave him a negative rating. Even among stalwart Born Again respondents, just 43% had positive ratings for the President on his overall job performance.


The survey of 982 likely voters nationwide was conducted Dec. 5–8, 2006, and carries a margin of error of +/– 3.2 percentage points.

3. That was my first reaction, too
They call themselves Democrats and they gave him a favorable rating? Makes no sense to me. It should be a big fat zero.

11. 60% of Republicans gave him favorable ratings?
What's wrong with Republicans? If this was a Democratic President who had done exactly what W has done, I'd bet he'd be well under 30% by Democratic voters....just goes to show you who are the 'bots when it comes to politics.
