More bad polls for Dubya

This time from Time Magazine:
A spate of good news at home and abroad has so far failed to boost how Americans feel about President Bush's job performance. Bush's approval rating slipped to 35% in a TIME poll taken this week, down from 37% in March (and 53% in early 2005). Only 33% of Americans in the survey said they approved of Bush's handling of the situation in Iraq, vs. 35% in March, and 47% in March 2005. His management of the U.S. economy lost supporters, too, as 36% approved, compared with 39% three months earlier. Bush's handling of the war on terror saw a slight gain in support, from 44% to 45%.
I want to be completely honest and point out the good news for Bush. There was a gain in support for Dubya's handling on his war on terror - 44 to 45%, though I'd guess that a 1% change is within the margin of error.

There's more.
In the TIME survey, 66% said the country is on the wrong track, vs. 28% who said it's going in the right direction. Those numbers have worsened since March, when the poll recorded a 60% to 34% split.
For the mathematically challenged, 66% = 2/3.

So two thirds of the country thinks that the country is headed in the wrong direction.

As Fred Honsberger says, these are the facts and they are irrefutable.

  1. Nothing like gloating about poll results David.

    If you want something to gloat about, how about losing about 100 lbs., and then gloating, you overgrown frumpy blimp.

  3. That's just our troll.

    Not much of a deep thinker, whenever he's faced with an argument he can't deal with, he goes personal.

    Typical rightwing nutcase.

  4. You claim me as a nutcase. Hey man, look in the mirror. What normal person makes it his practical "career" to take delight in god damn poll results? And yet, you make sorry ass attempts at trying to be some type of Pittsburgh based political analyst. Hey David, I got news for you. Political analyst you are not. The only thing you are capable of analyzing is the menu. Really, how often do you think about pudding per day?

    When you start offering a true non-partisan political analysis, I'll then start taking you seriously. Until then, you're just an overweight joke.

  5. See what I mean?

    Our troll has nothing intelligent to say so he's left with nothing more than ad hominem attacks.

    In the end, it only shows how shallow and irrelevant he really is.

  6. That's right Dave.......until you are as non-partisan as Braden is on his blog you cannot expect Braden posing as 'anonymous' to take you seriously!

    Back here is reality where the rest of us live...I feel truly grateful to be on of the 66% who aren't brainwashed.

  7. This just goes to show everyone else who reads this blog that you are truly stupid, not to mention your obvious biased comments are insignificant. Like, what do you really care what "Dubya's" poll results are. He cannot run again, so who cares. Are you that obsessed with him "stealing" the 2000 election, David? bwahahaha!

    *sniff sniff* Do I smell some sour grapes?

  8. The only thing on this blog that smells is the giant wave of bullshit wafting 'newspeak' from Braden.
    "This just goes to show everyone else who reads this blog that you are truly stupid, not to mention your obvious biased comments are insignificant.'
    Hmmm, 'everyone else who reads this blog is stupid'

    Me thinks thou do protest too much Mr. Parker.
