President Bush Job Approval Updated Daily by Noon Eastern Bush Job Approval Strongly Approve 22% Somewhat Approve 23% Somewhat Disapprove 16% Strongly Disapprove 39% RasmussenReports.com Yeah, even your robot poll still shows nearly as many STRONGLY DISAPPROVING of President Dumfoch as those who Strongly Approve or Somewhat Approve of him. I already explained that to you. Bush had a 38% rating of "strongly disapprove" even when he won the 2004 election by 3 million votes. He's at 39% now. Big deal. It's his base that matters...the ones who elected him. Give Bush a chance...more details will be forthcoming on the Libby-Rove Scandal, and he'll drop again. Or he'll screw up the handling of another disaster. I expect an upturn this week because all the numnutsie conservatives have a stiffie over Dumbya's court announcement. The upturn occurred at the end of the week that most pundits and politicos called "the worst week of the Bush Presidency". Bush should be hovering in the 48-50% approval rating range by the end of the week. |

I'm sure someone could find something good to say about you before you turned to the dark side. I'm sure you could find someone to say something good about you even after you turned to the darker side. |

Here's where he calls in the "chips" he earned when he let the R's in the Senate kill his last nominee. Unless Bush is a dumb as he appears (could be) this is likely the move he had in mind from the beginning. Barring a successful filibuster, this guy is probably in. |

If this had been a, say, liberal appellate judge of the same name, would you think that CNN, et. al., would combine Scalia and Alito? Isn't that sort of ethnically insensitive on the part of the media? What's next - that he's the Mafia's personal appellate judge? Why not? Cuomo was all wrapped up with the mob, according to almost anyone south of Pennsylvania. ![]() |

Bull****. I saw Soledad O'Brien use it prior to any conservative commentary. It's also in today's DNC talking points: "Judge 'Scalito' Has Long History Of States Rights, Anti-Civil Rights, And Anti-Immigrant Rulings." |
