Bush Approval Rating Dips Below 40%
For the first time in Bush’s presidential history, his approval rating has dipped below 40%. Last week the AP-Ipsos poll found that only 39% of Americans approve of Bush’s job handling. A poll by Newsweek found only 38% approving.
On another interesting note, last week a Zogby poll found for the first time more people having an unfavorable view on Bush than favorable. 49% think favorably of Bush while 50% think unfavorably. This poll looks more at Bush’s character as a human being and statistically he’s always had above a 50% favorable view. Not anymore…
Bush’s ratings have been dropping dramatically since spring but it seems his 5-week vacation and delayed (even non-existent) reaction to Hurricane Katrina is really hurting him. Oprah Winfrey is speaking out against him, and her views are deeply respected by many conservative women across America. Insane gas prices and a falling economy probably aren’t helping him either. I wonder…when is he going to do something about it? Whether we like it or not we’ve got 3.5 more years of him and if he keeps doing nothing to help America it’s not going to be pleasant.
Does anyone know if the Constitution provides for removal of a president who has been found to be too incompetent and inexperienced to do the job of leader of the country? It seems to me that there is such a provision, but I have no idea where I read it. Maybe as details of more and more outright incompetence and corruption keep rolling out the public would like to know their options. Seems to me this is the rallying call the non-GOP could use to unify the Democrats, Independants, Greens, all the others to dilute the power of this awful and destructive one party control and to regain a Democratic majority in at least one House next midterms. I don’t have time right now to go read the Constitution, so thought I’d ask. Thanks. Flashydane
the problem is, the people who voted him in don’t care that hes incompetent and stupid. That’s what is really sad with the country.
