Bush: Unpopular All Across America
A new poll show's America's Decider-in-Chief is almost universally disliked across America, with the exceptions of Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Nebraska approving of Bush.
Big surprise, eh? Not really. Get ready for a shakeup this fall in the midterm elections. Another poll shows that, if the elections were held today, Democrats would not only take the House, but quite possibly the Senate, according to the most recent Harris poll (via PR Newswire). 41% of respondents said they would vote for the Democratic candidate if the election were held today.
Bush's approval rating is only 35%. 27% of respondents said the country was headed in the right direction. Even with Republicans, Bush's approval rating is only 71%. Shouldn't it be higher?
In other news, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan announced his resignation, and Karl Rove was moved from policy advisor to political advisor. Apparently the Bushies think Rove would be more effective in rallying the troops for the November elections. Good luck on that, Karl. You've quite the job ahead of you.
Republicans think that we liberals hate George W. Bush irrationally. That might be true for some. But I think it's safe to say most of us also do not respect the man, for what he has done to the country, for his many, many lies, and for the 2378 dead in Iraq. Bush may also be ready to launch nuclear weapons against Iran. That'll be a good thing for the region. Imagine how nuking Iraq will be a boon for Al-Qaeda recruitment. And all of those terrorists will be looking for American or European targets. Israel, too. On second thought, hating Bush isn't such a bad thing, after all.
