The Gallup Organization has been tracking the ebb and flow of presidential popularity for decades. And in a survey it conducted Friday through Sunday (teamed with USA Today), here's the negative news for Bush: his job approval rating puts him in the bottom 3% of more than 1,300 Gallup polls since 1938. Bush got positive marks from 29% of those interviewed, a new low for him. As detailed by Gallup on its web page he now joins four other presidents since World War II whose job approval figure dipped below 30%: his father, George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon and Harry Truman. The other number was 28% I believe it was on CNN and they pulled it. this one was on the LA times..... I copied and posted each.

Has an approval rating for a President ever been so low. And coming from Lou, well, you know. Really, my wife being a conservative doesn't really come into play. At some point we pretty much agreed not to discuss politics. What is sometimes funny, is that our neighborhood and school tend to be of a liberal vent, and sometimes the kids come home with decidedly "liberal" ideas. She never tries to squash them. Just talk about it from both points of view. Here's my dilemma. As owner of a small business I am not in a position to offer health insurance to all my employees. Nor do many of them even want it, especially if it meant that they might no longer have a job, or that we could even remain in business. Perhaps there would be an exemption for companies with less than 12 employees. I just gotta be careful with what the Dems may want to put on shoulders of business. Big business can handle anything. It's just us small guys that don't have much margin for error, or additional responsibilities. --- In [email protected], Sal Sunshine wrote: > > On Apr 12, 2008, at 8:39 AM, lurkernomore20002000 wrote: > > > --- In [email protected], Louis McKenzie > > wrote: > >> The latest Gallup poll shows the president's approval > >> dropped to 28 percent, the lowest of his eight years > >> in office. > > > > Please cite the poll. > > It's all over the news, lurk, a Zogby poll, I think.
