Bush’s Approval Rating Drops
President Bush’s job-approval rating has fallen to its lowest mark of his presidency, according to a new Harris Interactive poll. Of 1,003 U.S. adults surveyed in a telephone poll, 29% think Mr. Bush is doing an “excellent or pretty good” job as president, down from 35% in April and significantly lower than 43% in January.
Roughly one-quarter of U.S. adults say “things in the country are going in the right direction,” while 69% say “things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track.” This trend has declined every month since January, when 33% said the nation was heading in the right direction. Iraq remains a key concern for the general public, as 28% of Americans said they consider Iraq to be one of the top two most important issues the government should address, up from 23% in April. The immigration debate also prompted 16% of Americans to consider it a top issue, down from 19% last month, but still sharply higher from 4% in March.
The Harris poll comes two days after a downbeat assessement of Bush in a New York Times/CBS News poll. The Times, in analyzing the results, said “Americans have a bleaker view of the country’s direction than at any time in more than two decades.”

Between Rove's indictment and all this phone hacking bullshit, he should break the record within the next two weeks......

Being Canadian, you should be more worried about what Little Stevie Wonderbush does ;)

You know what, Tony Blair is about as unpoular as ever at the moment as well.
Don't want to get preachy, but it seems they have both reaped what they sowed.
But is there an alternative?

Didn't Tony just lose a lot of seats to the Tories in a recent election?
Of course the outcome there might even be worse, depending on what type of "conservatives" they are.

I know that Canadians traditionally tire of the idiot Cons quickly enough...and we will see a non-confidence vote knock them out of office soon enough.

I suppose it might matter to me if I felt that the opposing political party would actually institute changes that would have a fundamental and lasting impact, but it really doesn't make much difference.
Has a lot to do with why the 2000 race was so close, and why 2004 wasn't exactly a landslide, either: there really isn't much difference between any of them anymore.
Manufacturing and industry is vanishing from the country, leaving non-college eductaed laborers more and more at ends with the work force. Even those with degrees are no longer assured of not being 'downsized'. The US is still trying to force its values on the rest of the world by force as it has been for years. Our news media outlets in this country are, by and large, a joke; if they spent half as much time focusing on substantial topics as they did on the Runaway Bride, we might have an educated poplace. There's a lack of seriousness in this country coupled with a really unattractive streak of greed and confusing how much a person makes with the content of their character. These underlying issues were present before W took office, and will be there after he's gone.
D.C. isn't gonna solve anything for us. If anyone's looking to our politicians to take care of our problems, well, you may as well turn to the Easter Bunny; you're gonna have the same success rate.

tell you what, a riot that ended with the lynching of a few big oil robber barons would lower gas prices in a hurry. fuck of a lot quicker than dragging them in front of Congress will.
Let's start with that quadruple-chinned son of a bitch who just got a half a billion dollar retirement package from Exxon.

and then has his toadies make the cable-news show rounds, telling people with a straight face that soaring gas company profits have nothing to do with rising prices at the pump...

Exactly. That's why people need to start thinking outside of the box instead of just being sheep. A handful of people now run the corporations, both political parties, the media, and the public schools.
The system still exists to take back power from these people but people in the US are too apethetic to do so. Therefore, the big big big money buys all the choices in the system and then controls the system.
We can fight back in numbers if we refuse to do business with large multinational corporations if at all possible. Support your local business owners and not the Home Depots and Wal-Marts. Vote for an independant candidate instead of supporting the corrupt Republicans and Democrats. Grow your own food if you can. Start your own schools.
Nothing scares the current people in power more than independant people who can do things on their own. They want us dependant on their food supply, their stores, their politicians, and their schools. Fuck Em!

Actually, GW went back up a couple when he endorsed border control.
He nearly lost nomination 2000 for opposing DNA legislation, long due.
His geeks waver, since no Democrats or other media REALLY oppose the dude with issues, shot like Sarges all know how to shoot 'em.

With the Bilderbergers buying up all the mainstream media you aren't going to see any mainstream hardcore opposition to Bush. You have to dig. Thank God they don't control the internet. But they want the Google search database don't they? These people are so fixated on controling everything and spying on us it's unreal.

That's my understanding of the situation too.
You have to wonder how the US expects to compete economically whilst pissing away ten times as much of her GDP on 'defence' as her compeditors.
I'm no economist but to me that seems unsustainable. Other Empire builders(and don't kid yourself that's what the US government is trying to do) like the Romans, the Spanish or the British managed to get big economic benefits from raping the countries they took over.
Apart from the $20 billion that Paul Bremmer stole from Iraq I don't see that happening. Instead you have people lining their own pockets stealing some money from the invaded countries through Haliburton but without an overall gain for the US. And that's ignoring the whole morality of killing tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians and American kids who just want an education paid for through military service.
Cheers!
