Americans are a bit dumber than others, it would seem, but finally we're waking up and smelling the turd.

What does it take to get through to some people? I could understand something less than 10%, but as high as 40? Great googly-moogly.

Bush's Popularity Reaches New Low
58 Percent in Poll Question His IntegrityBy Richard Morin and Dan Balz
Washington Post Staff Writers
Friday, November 4, 2005; A01
For the first time in his presidency a majority of Americans question the integrity of President Bush, and growing doubts about his leadership have left him with record negative ratings on the economy, Iraq and even the war on terrorism, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows.
On almost every key measure of presidential character and performance, the survey found that Bush has never been less popular with the American people. Currently 39 percent approve of the job he is doing as president, while 60 percent disapprove of his performance in office -- the highest level of disapproval ever recorded for Bush in Post-ABC polls.
Virtually the only possible bright spot for Bush in the survey was generally favorable, if not quite enthusiastic, early reaction to his latest Supreme Court nominee, Samuel A. Alito Jr. Half of Americans say Alito should be confirmed by the Senate, and less than a third view him as too conservative, the poll found.
Overall, the survey underscores how several pillars of Bush's presidency have begun to crumble under the combined weight of events and White House mistakes. Bush's approval ratings have been in decline for months, but on issues of personal trust, honesty and values, Bush has suffered some of his most notable declines. Moreover, Bush has always retained majority support on his handling of the U.S. campaign against terrorism -- until now, when 51 percent have registered disapproval.
The CIA leak case has apparently contributed to a withering decline in how Americans view Bush personally. The survey found that 40 percent now view him as honest and trustworthy -- a 13 percentage point drop in the past 18 months. Nearly 6 in 10 -- 58 percent -- said they have doubts about Bush's honesty, the first time in his presidency that more than half the country has questioned his personal integrity.
The indictment Friday of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff, in the CIA leak case added to the burden of an administration already reeling from a failed Supreme Court nomination, public dissatisfaction with the economy and continued bloodshed in Iraq. According to the survey, 52 percent say the charges against Libby signal the presence of deeper ethical wrongdoing in the administration. Half believe White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, the president's top political hand, also did something wrong in the case -- about 6 in 10 say Rove should resign.
Beyond the leak case, Americans give the administration low scores on ethics, according to the survey, with 67 percent rating the administration negatively on handling ethical matters, while just 32 percent give the administration positive marks. Four in 10 -- 43 percent -- say the level of ethics and honesty in the federal government has fallen during Bush's presidency, while 17 percent say it has risen.
Faced with its cascade of recent setbacks, the White House is hoping the latest court nomination can rally disaffected conservatives and score the president a victory akin to the one he enjoyed in the nomination of Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. Alito begins the confirmation process with the support of 49 percent of the public, while 29 percent say he should not be confirmed, the poll found. One in 5 Americans -- 22 percent -- did not yet know enough about him to make a judgment.

But I guess the democrats haven't figured that out yet.
Bush's father campaigned against the failed policies of Mondale and McGovern, neither of whom were even elected president. Got him the White House.
So, you believe it's OK for GOP candidates to run against Democrats who were never even elected to the White House, but not OK for Democrats to run against GOP presidents who are miserable failures...

What did you think that was all about, changing the color scheme in the West Wing? Even after the Bush people took over, they persisted with stories like the phony vandalism that took place in the last days of the Clinton regime.
It's common political practice--when you're in the party that's been out of power, and there's no sitting president to run against you don't run against your opponent. You run against the outgoing prez.
The Democrats will run against Bush in '08. Whoever the GOP nominee is, any Bush failure is going to be hung around his neck. That's the way it's done.

nearly a decade after Clinton's last run. If you paid attention to what your talking points actually say, instead of just repeating them, you would know that.

That stat is about the best I've heard to justify increased spending for education. The current generation may be a loss, but if act early we can still save the yutes.

good lawyering - the facts will set you free, plus the ideal woman, Marisa Tomei as Mona Lisa Vito.

the wife loves watching that scene...over and over and over...I used to think my wife was just a bit goofy...(like last night...I listened to her make closing arguments in her sleep...she does it whenever there's a big case ongoing...I'm actually getting used to it after 15 years of marriage)
but now you've confirmed...it must be some lawyer fantasy thing.
