October Bush Polls

Just when you think it couldn't sink any lower, it does. Here are the six October approval polls for Bush, from polling report:
Poll	  App	  Dis
Gallup	   39	   58
Fox	   40	   51
NBC	   39	   54
Pew	   38	   56
AP	   39	   58
CBS	   37	   58
Mean	   38.7    55.8
I believe all six of these are record lows. You know Bush is really in trouble when Fox and Gallup aren't propping him up anymore. And forget the 40% floor--the new goal is 60% disapproval.

Beyond approval polls, perhpas the most interesting poll on Bush this month comes from the netroots. Led by After Dowing Street and Democrats.com, a group of netroots activists raised $10,000 and commissioned their own poll on impeachment from AP-Ipsos. In the poll 50% said that Congress should consider impeaching Bush if Bush did not tell the truth about his reasons to go to war with Iraq. Cool stuff and well done.

Will the MSM get on this? (none / 0)

Or are they too busy covering Bush's supposed recovery in approval ratings?  Two damn polls at 45%, and it's big news of the day, six new polls in the high 30s, and I haven't seen a word outside the blogs.

It was odd (none / 0)

CNN kept fronting a headline on Bush Approval improving but never actually made it around to the story. As for me I don't take it day to day, I look to the trend lines. Your questions may be crap but as long as you have an honest sample the truth will out. Gallup and Fox always have Bush at numbers north of the rest of the polls but as Professor Pollkatz shows the graph moves in the same direction: Pollkatz Rules: Bush Drools

If lying about a blowjob counts (none / 0)

Surely lying about nuclear weapons and demcratizing the Middle East has to count.

If Bill Clinton faced articles of impeachment for a lie pertaining to a line of questioning that was immaterial to the case at hand, then surely W deserves to be impeached.

Can Bush (none / 0)

Blech, yeah I know, we are stuck with the idiot for a few more years.

No longer a Democrat, now proudly an independent voter!

AP Poll (none / 0)

It is quite sad that there haven't been articles by the AP on a poll that was performed by them.  Guess someone is surpressing something.

Look harder (none / 0)

The poll is over a week old, but a simple Google search of {ap poll bush} brings up a Yahoo story as the top result:

Stop being so paranoid.  Not everything is surpressed-not everything is a conspiracy.

Re: Look harder (none / 0)

I am far from paranoid.  I missed the yahoo article, but considering my email is SBC Yahoo and I have many different news outlets on my home page, I am surprised I missed it.  But of course the latest celebrity news is always more important.  

I can't prove it is supressed and you can't prove it isn't.  Simple made a tounge in cheek comment wondering allowed... similiar to the comments people have been making since Florida, Iraq, 2004 Election, Ohio returns, etc.  

I question if you called all the people who wondered allowed about the possibility of fraud or supression by the GOP or the corporate owners of most organizations paranoid as well?
