GALLUP: Bush Finally Tops Nixon -- In Unpopularity -- As Call for Iraq Pullout Hits New Peak

NEW YORK For almost two years, President Bush has been threatening to unseat Richard M. Nixon as the most unpopular president in the history of the Gallup poll, and it finally happened this week.
The latest USA TODAY/Gallup survey finds Bush with a 31% approval rating -- and for the first time ever in the polling history, 50% say they "strongly disapprove" of a president.
The previous high (or low?) was a 48% strong disapproval rating for Nixon at the worst moments of Watergate in 1974.
The telephone survey of 1,024 adults was conducted last Friday through Sunday.
Meanwhile, ABC News relates today, "Recent reports of fewer casualties in Iraq haven't altered most Americans' perceptions of the war: Fifty-nine percent still don't think the United States is making significant progress restoring civil order there, and a record six in 10 want the level of U.S. forces reduced.
"Those results in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll seem to reflect a continued hardening of attitudes on Iraq. Views on progress are unchanged from early September, and they haven't been positive since December 2005, shortly after the Iraqi elections."
FOTD, how are you going to feel when Iran finally annexes Iraq, then turns it's attention to nuking Israel?
..And Ira-ah-ahn... Iran so far aw-ay-ay....

I like McCain's suggestion and song:
Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran.
Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran.
Bar-bra Ay-ann.

Thats when Bushs approval rating will be somewhere around Hitlers. Course al qaeda will be thrilled all the more.

Been working with the gold paint again.....?
Are you all suggesting that the policies the Bush administration has followed has made it LESS likely that the hardliners in Iran would or could do that?

[}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)] if I had a drink I'd be spitting it right now.
this is the post of the year.
First off, How do you know about that gold paint? And, NO, I haven't used any lately.... I try to avoid it. It gives me a heachache. I make my poor assistant paint with it whenever we have to use it anymore lol. One more jar of gold paint and my last remaining brain cell may lose its last dentritical grip on reality. "Dentritical" is that a word? [:P]
Have you found your car yet......

Well, maybe that Bush was only one letter off when he decided to invade Iraq after Saudi nationals attacked us on 9-11???
That would be my guess.
