Next Time You're On The Bus . . .


. . . or at a restaurant with friends or on the subway or at Starbucks try this little expirement: ask the person next to you if they approve of the way President Bush is doing his job or disapprove. Odds are slightly less than 3 out of 4 will say they disapprove. Mr. 26% is what I'm going to start calling him.

Anyone want to take bets he can go lower?

He may end up being the first sitting President with a negative approval rating. Can someone remind me how and why more than 54 million American sheeple voted for Our Glorious and Benevolent Leader in 2004??

with Democratically controlled congress, currently at 25%, according to the same article.

I did inhale.

Approval rating. Even if only 25% of people support each party, the remaining 50% is going to be too fragmented to pose a real problem for the duopoly. What cannot happen, however, is 50% of people uniting, somehow, into a coherent third party. Then you'd see Republicans and Democrats fight back together.

The lower the cockbite gets in polling, the more "resolute" and "remember Harry Truman" he becomes...indeed, now Junior seems to draw strength from his abysmally low public approvals, if one believes the usual "WH sources say" shite. Nothing short of a well-placed sapper's charge will dislodge this pathetic wanker from his current policy trajectory.
