[QUOTE=Jammer]You're right it's 33% - 35% of the country. Please refer to the link of all the approval rating polls. He sits at an average low to mid 60% disaproval. So they actually do mean something. I think that he continuely has the worst approval ratings of any other president mean even more.

Bottom line is the vast majority of the country thinks he is doing a bad job.

 

[QUOTE=obsolete346]You liberals live and die by them poll numbers. This is like the third time you've brought that poll up lol. I seem to remember in Oct '04 the polls that said Kerry was going to win. Afterwards you got real quiet, didn't you? If you are telling yourself that 60 some odd percent wish they had voted for that douchebag today, you're sadly mistaken. If you ask someone how their life has become worse due to decisions by the current administration, most cannot give an answer. You are wrong. Polls mean nothing. What you should be doing if finding out what is wrong with your own party. They got issues.

 

Funny I didn't vote for Kerry and you don't even know my party, so please stop rambling about what you know nothing about. I can give you quite a list of answers and I can also let you know of a few thousand that you can't even ask.

Polls mean that percent of people are unhappy with his desicisons. The reason the Republicans don't live and die by the polls is because, for the Repubs, there is no living by them.

...and you've studied this?

 

I dont get why Liberals hate the first picture in this thread. Can someone explain that?

Also I think everyone agrees (liberal and conservatives) the two main reasons the current administrations perception/ratings are so bad are the failure to succeed by now in Iraq (caused by poor planning and failure to adapt/change tactics) and failure to respond to Katrina properly. If we would have achieved a stable self governing Iraq by now and there would have been immediate/proper response to help Americans in trouble things would be alot different now. The last election would have been a whole different story. Less important are the reduction of the trade deficeit, illegal immigration and tremendous federal deficeit...these alone really are only going to help shape the next election...if I was a betting man I dont think a Republican stands a chance. The quality of candidates is much better this time...on both sides.

Everyone can be a monday morning quarterback but when you ARE the quarterback you are judged by successes and more importantly failures.

 

I actually think the Republicans have a much better chance. If they can be a little more moderate they'll take the whole middle ground. The Dems are fighting over who can become a communist first and it will only hurt them. I think if Obama would stay more centered he be in the top slot, but that won't happen.

 

Never have I seen the people so divided by a guy that calls himself a uniter!

 

obama doesnt have a snowballs chance... no matter what he does. thats all media hype

 

It's always interesting to hear people say that.

Fact: The Democrats were in charge of that election! That's what is so funny!!

 

Polls are worthless. Especially when they are given to less than 1/2 of 1% of the citizens. The polls in the voting booths are the only accurate ones, as proven in November 2004 when the pre-election polls were pretty much owned. History has proven them wrong time and time again. And I have studied them at A&M. If the average person knew exactly how these media polls are selectively given in most cases, they would understand what I'm talking about.

 

Yes, of course the "I'm more informed and I say so" proven with the old "cause I say so".
