A new opinion poll contains bad news for the Bush administration. The Newsweek poll says President Bush's approval rating reached a new low of 33 percent, a 3-point drop from August. Nearly 60 percent express overall disapproval of how Bush handles his job. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's rating is worse than the president's. He gets just 30 percent approval, and 48percent say Rumsfeld should go. As for the Iraq war, 66 percent of Americans say it has not made the country safer from the threat of terrorism. Fifty-eight percent don't think the U.S. will be able to establish a stable democracy in Iraq. And for the first time, Newsweek says a majority of Americans, 58 percent, believe the Bush administration purposely misled the public about Iraq. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. http://www.kxtv.com/storyfull3.aspx?storyid=20538 ------------------------------ Very good news for everyone according to this poll. Americans are finally waking up! 58% say bush purposely misled about Iraq 66% say iraq war hasn't made us safer 58% know we can't establish democracy in iraq and 60% overall dispproval! Bush is going down as the worst president in history
Yes HE is the worst President in History and when the Next President gets in office I hope they bring him up on charges of treason
Maybe in your lifetime but I don't know about in the entire history of the U.S.A? Jimmy Carter, FDR(Comrade Roosevelt), and some other ones I can't name off the top of my head were a lot worse than him. Also, who is this a poll of? NYTimes readers?
Shouldn´t it say 58% say we can't establish democracy in iraq If you are trying to present your post as a neutral report, then do it right and pretend to be neutral.
Though most intellegent people saw what this clown of a president was about to the moment he moved into the white house, he has already done a lot of damage to our democracy and our country, so even though I am happy that FINALLY the majority of americans see the truth the damage has already been done with the thousands of innocent people that have been murdered and died as a result of his actions and miscalculations. What makes me mad is that one can lie and people die as a result and he can not be punished for it. Isn't Sadam on trial for killing his own people? Bush has done the same in a way, thousands of soldiers have died and are dying every day because of HIS choice to start a war. Bush is a war criminal and so is his sidekick buddy Rumsfeld the war monger.
Who cares what the people think? It's what IS that matters. Just more proof to show dems only care about poll results, not what is the right thing to do.
whats sad is if he was able to run for a 3rd term he would win lol.. the democrats are in that bad of shape
anyone who thinks bush and crew have done a good job have to be borderline retarded at this point its was debatable for awhile, whether what he has been doing was good or not , its past that point now
Heh, newsweek (fake qurans in the toilet) and right after the false claims from democrats against Foley. Savor the moment
We can´t turn back time and elect Gore and see what would have happened had he been in charge. Or Kerrey for that matter. So it´s easy to focus on the mistakes. Had the Democrats won any of the last 2 elections, the world would be in the deepest of shits.
Why thanks for making such an intelligent reply to this debate while keeping all the other contributors in good esteem. ... NOT. Yep, because you liberals have become so close-minded it's impossible to bang the truth into you .... via the Internet at least
