Bush Job Approval

Thursday May 18, 2006 --Thirty-six percent (36%) of Americans Approve of
the way that George W. Bush is performing his role as President. Just 15%
Strongly Approve. Those are the lowest levels ever measured by Rasmussen
Reports. Just 65% of Republicans approve of the President's Job
Performance, also a new low.

This data is based upon nightly telephone surveys and reported on a
three-day rolling average basis. For today's update, more than 75% of
respondents were interviewed after the President Bush's speech on
immigration.

Just 39% of voters agree with the President's approach on immigration.
Most consider the issue very important and believe that strict enforcement
of immigration laws will help the economy.

Democrats now hold a 15-percentage point lead over Republicans on the
Generic Congressional Ballot. Before the President's speech, they had a
10-point lead. Just 27% of Americans believe the country is now heading in
the right direction.

It seems that some folks *can* discuss politics politely as you and others
have done in this thread.

The thread started going into the gutter though once JohnH rode up on his
trusty steed, showed his shiny badge and began making demands. A real
shame.
