Historic Disapproval: Bush Hits All-Time Low Amid Economic Meltdown

...With the current economic situation, a record 70 percent of Americans disapprove of George W. Bush's job performance; a career-low 26 percent approve.
Bush's Disapproval Rating Highest in History

Just two presidents have had lower approval (Richard Nixon and Harry Truman) than President Bush, and none has had higher disapproval in polls since 1938.
McCain's problem: Fifty-three percent of registered voters think he'd lead the country in the same direction as Bush, inching back up over a majority.

Forty-eight percent of registered voters are uncomfortable about McCain's age, a new high. And while Obama has advanced since mid-June in the sense that he's a "safe" choice for president, to 55 percent, McCain has lost ground on this measure; 51 percent now see him as safe, down 6 points.
Obama continues to trounce McCain on enthusiasm. Sixty-one percent of Obama's supporters are very enthusiastic about their choice, vs. 38 percent of McCain's.

George Bush: proof there is life on Mars

THURSDAY, 25 SEPTEMBER 2008

Jeff Sparrow, editor of Overland writes:

This afternoon, President Bush will address Americans and urge them to support his gazillion dollar economic bailout.

It’s a strange decision.

The latest survey shows that nineteen per cent of Americans approve of Bush’s efforts as president. On economic management, the figure drops to seventeen per cent.

To put that in perspective, eighteen per cent of Americans think that the sun revolves around the Earth. (If you were wondering, it doesn’t.)

Sixty-four per cent of people in the USA feel that aliens have made contact with humanity, fifty per cent think that UFOs regularly abduct people, and thirty-seven per cent think the Little Green Men are already in touch with the White House.


A third believe in ghosts, twenty-five per cent in reincarnation and twenty-four per cent in witches.

In fact, Americans (twenty per cent) are more convinced that communication with the dead is possible than that Bush is doing a good job; they consider it more likely (nineteen per cent) that Bigfoot will be discovered than that W will successfully steward their economy.

In other words, there’s whacked out people across the USA, folks prepared to swallow the most preposterous nonsense -- but they draw the line at George Bush. The Republicans would do better to find a witch prepared to speak up for their bailout.

All this raises the question: what kind of flakes are the nineteen per cent of Bush believers?

Well, there’s Greg Sheridan at The Australian:

Let me be the first to offer a bold, revisionist view. George W. Bush may well be judged, ultimately, a great president, especially in foreign policy, especially in the war on terror.

To be fair, Sheridan thinks that a recognition of Bush’s true greatness might take twenty or thirty years. Perhaps by then Bigfoot will be president.
