The average approval rating for George W. Bush in nine nationwide polls taken this month is only 41 percent. The average disapproval rating for Bush in the polls is 54 percent.
Bush's support down to his base
of money-grubbers and wingnuts
Several polls taken nationwide this month show George W. Bush's approval rating at an average of only 41 percent and his average disapproval rating at 54 percent.
Hurricane Katrina has moved the Bush regime's immoral, illegal, unjustified and imperialist occupation of Iraq to the back burner, but here's what Americans think of Vietraq:
According to an ABC News/Washington Post nationwide poll taken Sept. 8-11, only 38 percent of Americans approve of how Bush is handling the situation in Iraq, while 62 percent disapprove.
A CBS News/New York Times nationwide poll taken Sept. 9-13 mirrors those poll results, with only 36 percent of Americans approving of how Bush is handling the situation in Iraq and 59 percent disapproving. In that poll, only 44 percent think that the Bush regime's March 2003 invasion and subsequent invasion of Iraq was a good idea, while 50 percent think the United States should have stayed out of Iraq.
In the same poll, 32 percent support removing all U.S. troops from Iraq; 27 percent support decreasing the number of U.S. troops in Iraq; 26 percent support keeping the number of U.S. troops in Iraq at its current level; and 10 percent support sending more troops to Iraq. (I invite those 10 percent to board the next plane for Iraq.)
When asked, "Should the United States troops stay in Iraq as long as it takes to make sure Iraq is a stable democracy, even if it takes a long time, or should U.S. troops leave Iraq as soon as possible, even if Iraq is not completely stable?" 52 percent said that the U.S. troops should leave ASAP and 42 percent said the troops should stay as long as it takes. Fifty percent said that Iraq will never become a stable democracy, while 47 percent said that it will.
Ninety percent oppose cutting domestic spending, such as on health care and education, to pay for the ongoing U.S. occupation of Iraq, while only 7 percent -- Repugnicans all, I'm sure -- support cutting domestic spending to pay for the quagmire in Vietraq.
All in all, it looks like less than a year into his second term, George W. Bush has alienated all but about 40 percent of the nation.
These roughly 40 percent of Americans are the money-grubbers and the morons who would support Bush no matter what the fuck he did or did not do.
A good chunk of that 40 percent are the money-grubbing weasels who profit from Bush's tax cuts for the rich, his war on the environment for corporate profits, his war on Iraq for the war-profiteering of Dick Cheney's Halliburton and other subsidiaries of BushCheneyCorp, and his other pro-rich policies. The plutocrats don't want their gravy train stop chugging along, even though that train is headed off the tracks. (Speaking of tracks, in three nationwide polls taken this month, an average of only 31 percent of Americans think that the nation is on the right track, while an average of a whopping 63 percent think that the nation is on the wrong track.)
The rest of the roughly 40 percent of Americans who are supporters of Bush are dumbfuck red-staters (well, most of them live in the red states) who are too fucking stupid to vote in their own best fucking interests. When the Repugnicans in power tell the red-staters how much they wuv them, the red-staters believe it -- even though the poverty rate in the United States has increased every year since Bush stole office in late 2000.
Yup, this graphic from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that the U.S. poverty rate increased each year of the reign of King George I in the late 1980s and early 1990s, declined (or at least remained steady) each year that Bill Clinton was in office, and has increased each year of the reign of King George II.
Here are some of the Census Bureau's highlights of its report on poverty in the United States in 2004:
I have to wonder if Americans (those who aren't filthy rich, I mean) will be stupid enough to ever allow another Bush into the White House. You gotta be pretty fucking stupid to not be able to tell your friends from your enemies and to support your enemies.
More good news in addition to Bush's political free fall: As there is nothing in the foreseeable future to turn around the Repugnicans' political fortunes, the Democrats should take back the U.S. House of Representatives in 2006.
A Newsweek poll taken nationwide Sept. 8 and 9 indicates that 50 percent of Americans plan to vote for a Democratic representative in November 2006, that only 38 percent plan to vote for a Repugnican representative, and that 12 percent aren't sure.
A Pew Research Center poll taken nationwide Sept. 8-11 indicates that 52 percent of Americans plan to vote for a Democratic representative in November 2006, that only 40 percent plan to vote for a Repugnican, and that 8 percent aren't sure:

Also in November 2006, Repugnican California Gov. Ahhhnuld Schwarzenegger should find himself out of a job. His approval ratings are even worse than Gee Dubya's -- they're in the mid-30s.
Ironically, what got Schwarzy into office -- the shitty economy that was caused by King George II but Californian voters stupidly misidentified (they bought the Repugnican propaganda) as the fault of then-Democratic Gov. Gray Davis -- is what is going to be his downfall.
During the bogus 2003 California gubernatorial recall, Ahhhnuld promised Californians that he'd improve the state's economy, but of course as long as there was a Bush in the White House that would be Mission Impossible.
The next governor of California will be Democrat Phil Angelides, who has the support of California Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. An easy call.
