Although 28 percent is the lowest rating George Bush has received in the AP-Ipsos poll, it is still remarkably high for a president whose signal accomplishments in seven years and three months in office have been turning the entire world against the United States, needlessly causing the deaths of over 4,000 U.S. troops and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens, emptying the U.S. Treasury and staving off impeachment.
With Bush’s record of zero achievements, it is a miracle that over 25 percent of Americans — 100 percent of whom are Republicans — can yet muster approval of good ol’ George. But, as is typical of the liberal media, the AP writer sees the glass half-empty for Worst President Ever:
Public approval of President Bush has reached a new low in the Associated Press-Ipsos poll, driven by dissatisfaction with his handling of the economy.
A survey released Thursday showed just 28 percent approve of the overall job he is doing. His previous record low in the poll was 30 percent last month.
In another record low, only 27 percent are happy with his job on the economy, which threatens to enter a recession.
Other presidents have had low approval ratings that were nonetheless amazingly high, of course. Richard Nixon was still garnering a 25 percent approval rating at the time of his resignation in August 1974, for example.
No need to wonder why, the majority of the American public are idiots. 25 – 30% are absolute idiots and another 25% are just your everday, average idiots. Give the “average idiot” group enough time (6 yrs give or take)to figure out that GW has been the countries worst modern day president, and eventually they come around. You can give the hardcore “absolute idiot” group 100 years and they still wont get it. This acounts for the Nixon numbers sighted in the post.
