US President George W Bush's job rating has fallen to an all-time low of 34 per cent, according to a CBS News poll.
The results follows strong opposition to a Bush-suported plan to give control of some key US ports to a Dubai company and increasing pessimism over the war in Iraq.

Mr Bush's overall job approval fell eight points from 42 per cent last month.

Fifty-nine per cent of respondents said they disapproved of Mr Bush's performance on the job, the poll found.

Mr Bush's previous low job approval rating of 35 per cent came last October, a month after Hurricane Katrina laid waste to the Gulf Coast and shortly after the US death toll in Iraq reached the 2000 mark, CBS said.

Long among his strongest suits, ratings for Mr Bush's handling of Iraq fell to a new low of 30 per cent, down from 37 per cent in January, the poll found.


In addition, 62 per cent of Americans said they thought US efforts to bring stability and order to Iraq were going badly compared with 36 per cent who said things were going well.

In recent days, the Bush administration has faced increasing sectarian violence and fears of civil war in Iraq as well as strong bipartisan congressional opposition to a deal allowing an Arab state-owned company to operate six key US ports.

According to the poll, 70 per cent believe the Dubai Ports World transaction should not be allowed to go through while only 21 per cent did not see the ports deal as a problem.

One surprising bright spot for the administration in the polls was that Americans appeared ready to move on after Vice President Dick Cheney's hunting accident. Seventy-six per cent said it was understandable that the accident could happen.

However, media coverage of the accident might have made the public's generally negative view of Mr Cheney a bit more so, CBS said. The poll found that 46 per cent hold a negative view of Mr Cheney and 18 per cent hold a favourable view, down from a 23-per-cent favourable rating in January.

The telephone poll of 1018 adults was conducted on February 22-26 and had a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.

You don't even belong in this forum. You're a below-average FORD flunky. At least FORD has things to say that a person can actually respond to. Pretty much all of your posts directed toward me are mindless, immature drivel. But, as I said before, keep 'em coming because it is hilarious and you are making a complete fool of yourself.

Roy, when did you suddenly decide to pop up here? I thought you were at the links. I come in this forum and suddenly I see your name.
Not that that's a bad thing; I was just surprised, that's all.

I was here EONS before you even knew how to hook your big, square keyboard up to your 133 Mhz Micron jumbo-ass, off-white tower. I was here along with FORD at the near beginning. You were still trying to figure out how to use the search button on your Netscape Navigator version 1.2.

Ask FORD where I come from. Ask Hitch. Ask Sarge...especially Sarge!

I do remember you, though. Seems to me you were a bit of a troll and the subject of much scorn in the World of Hitch? Maybe I'm wrong.

I've NEVER been a regular at the links. Although I consider Brett a good guy I have never had enough stomach to make more than 10-20 posts in that place. No offense to Brett.

Honestly? I ususally don't have enough time to post as much as I'd like to. Sometimes I get into it and sometimes I get out of it if you know what I mean?

Also, just because Hardcock has a bazzillion posts doesn't mean he automatically has substance to his posts. It just means that he needs to take a break once in a while and walk up the basement stairway to visit his parents.

Yeah, NIXON was lower. But it seems that BUSH has been in the doldrums more so that any President in memory, or for longer at least...

That is not necessary.
You come from Neo-Con Fantasy Land.
It is obvious to anyone with half a brain that you wish you could suck Chimpy's Cock, but since you cannot get near him, you will gladly settle for BigBadBrucie, Elvis, or even 4MoreQueers.

You just will not be able to shut up until you have some Republidick crammed up your ass....

You are not even worthy to be in the Dump. Even Jizzystool seems like Einstein compared to your nonsensical idiocy.
If anyone is making a fool of himself here it is you. All you have done since you showed up here is cry and whimper about how fucked up this place is.

You have posted nothing constructive, and have demonstrated you possess the intellect of a lobotomized chimp.

Your pathetic temper-tantrums indicate to all that you need to go cry to your mommy that you need her to change your shitty diapers.

If you are soooo upset over the way this forum appears to you, go take your fucking sob-story to Sarge.
I am sure he would love to hear your poor-widdul-baby story about how you do not like being exposed as the asslicking moron you truly are.

Bush's approval rating falls to new low
RON FOURNIER
Associated Press

WASHINGTON - More and more people, particularly Republicans, disapprove of President Bush's performance, question his character and no longer consider him a strong leader against terrorism, according to an AP-Ipsos poll documenting one of the bleakest points of his presidency.

Nearly four out of five Americans, including 70 percent of Republicans, believe civil war will break out in Iraq - the bloody hot spot upon which Bush has staked his presidency. Nearly 70 percent of people say the U.S. is on the wrong track, a 6-point jump since February.

"I'm not happy with how things are going," said Margaret Campanelli, a retiree in Norwich, Conn., who said she tends to vote Republican. "I'm particularly not happy with Iraq, not happy with how things worked with Hurricane Katrina."

Republican Party leaders said the survey explains why GOP lawmakers are rushing to distance themselves from Bush on a range of issues - port security, immigration, spending, warrantless eavesdropping and trade, for example.

The positioning is most intense among Republicans facing election in November and those considering 2008 presidential campaigns.

"You're in the position of this cycle now that is difficult anyway. In second term off-year elections, there gets to be a familiarity factor," said Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., a potential presidential candidate.

"People have seen and heard (Bush's) ideas long enough and that enters into their thinking. People are kind of, `Well, I wonder what other people can do,'" he said.

The poll suggests that most Americans wonder whether Bush is up to the job. The survey, conducted Monday through Wednesday of 1,000 people, found that just 37 percent approve of his overall performance. That is the lowest of his presidency.

Bush's job approval among Republicans plummeted from 82 percent in February to 74 percent, a dangerous sign in a midterm election year when parties rely on enthusiasm from their most loyal voters. The biggest losses were among white males.

On issues, Bush's approval rating declined from 39 percent to 36 percent for his handling of domestic affairs and from 47 percent to 43 percent on foreign policy and terrorism. His approval ratings for dealing with the economy and Iraq held steady, but still hovered around 40 percent.

Personally, far fewer Americans consider Bush likable, honest, strong and dependable than they did just after his re-election campaign.

By comparison, Presidents Clinton and Reagan had public approval in the mid 60s at this stage of their second terms in office, while Eisenhower was close to 60 percent, according to Gallup polls. Nixon, who was increasingly tangled up in the Watergate scandal, was in the high 20s in early 1974.

The AP-Ipsos poll, which has a margin of error of 3 percentage points, gives Republicans reason to worry that they may inherit Bush's political woes. Two-thirds of the public disapproves of how the GOP-led Congress is handling its job and a surprising 53 percent of Republicans give Congress poor marks.

"Obviously, it's the winter of our discontent," said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla.

By a 47-36 margin, people favor Democrats over Republicans when they are asked who should control Congress.

While the gap worries Republicans, Cole and others said it does not automatically translate into GOP defeats in November, when voters will face a choice between local candidates rather than considering Congress as a whole.

In addition, strategists in both parties agree that a divided and undisciplined Democratic Party has failed to seize full advantage of Republican troubles.

"While I don't dispute the fact that we have challenges in the current environment politically, I also believe 2006 as a choice election offers Republicans an opportunity if we make sure the election is framed in a way that will keep our majorities in the House and the Senate," said Ken Mehlman, chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Stung by criticism, senior officials at the White House and the RNC are reminding GOP members of Congress that Bush's approval ratings may be low, but theirs is lower and have declined at the same pace as Bush's. The message to GOP lawmakers is that criticizing the president weakens him - and them - politically.

"When issue like the internal Republican debate over the ports dominates the news it puts us another day away from all of us figuring out what policies we need to win," said Terry Nelson, a Republican consultant and political director for Bush's re-election campaign in 2004.

Bowing to ferocious opposition in Congress, a Dubai-owned company on Thursday abandoned its quest to take over operations at several U.S. ports. Bush had pledged to veto any attempt to block the transaction, pitting him against Republicans in Congress and most voters.

All this has Republican voters like Walter Wright of Fairfax Station, Va., worried for their party.

"We've gotten so carried away I wouldn't be surprised to see the Democrats take it because of discontent," he said. "People vote for change and hope for the best."
