Bush: Mission Accomplished, I’ve Set A New Unpopularity Record
In another of President Bush’s benchmarks he’s setting for all those who come after him, he’s once again raising the bar of the “disapproval” poll. Almost as if he’s sticking a finger out and daring, just daring another President to come close to his approval ratings, he continues his descent into the annals of history.
In a recent CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released today, it indicates that 71% of Americans disapprove of how Bush is handling his job as president. 71%, now that’s a record! No other president in history has ever gotten lower ratings than 70%.
CNN political analyst Bill Schneider sums it all up with one word,”bad.”
“Support for the war, the assessment of the economy and approval of Mr. Bush are all about the same — bad.”
I just wonder if every night, after his bedtime story and glass of warm milk, Laura tucks him in and whispers “Don’t worry George, you’re doin’ a heckuva job. How else could this man continue to want to show his face in public?

It’s good news that 71% think he’s doing a bad job. But still, that leaves 29%, close to 100 million Americans, who don’t think he’s doing a bad job. Are they crazy or just stupid?
I’ve wondered about that 29% percent group as well, and I can’t come up with a good reason why so many people would think, or approve of how he is handling his job. Missing link stuff I’m thinking!
