The President's Approval Rating On The Economy
- Filed under: President Bush
- Date: Oct 1,2008
22% Approve - 74% Disapprove
ABC News/Washington Post Poll. Sept. 27-29, 2008. N=1,271 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.
It is likely that most incumbents are paying a price in the eyes of the public over the past couple weeks. These numbers from an ABC News poll released indicate that President Bush is taking a hit. His overall approval ratings have been hovering at 30% for a long time and those voters are considered by many to be the firewall base of the Republican Party. No matter what happens, it seems President Bush's numbers don't drop below that average overall. The President's 22% approval on the economy shows even the core of the President's support is crumbling. So the question becomes whether voters pin this problem on President Bush or the entire Republican Party? We'll see.

Congress has it even lower. 10% approval. That means 90% disapproval rating.
Tuesday was a tough day for the Democratic Dow Jones Industrial Average (DDJIA). I saw it lost around 485! Maybe Speaker Pelosi can call another vote doomed to fail sometime this week so the DDJIA can get back some of today's losses!
Hey I dissaprove of the Bush-Paulson-Pelosi bailout plan.
McCain missed an opportunity to side with the people on this one and instead sides with Obama/Bush/Paulson/Pelsoi et al.
M. McNally is right. McCain could have distanced himself from Bush and it would have given him better leverage in criticizing Obama's dreams of spending the country into bankruptcy. Last Friday was his big chance.
American families were rocked by the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. But with John McCain and his lobbyists in charge, it could have been even worse.
In a recent interview, McCain suggested deregulating health insurance companies and handing them an unsupervised blank check in his own words just "as we have done over the last decade in banking."
His policies have made taxpayers responsible for the largest federal bailout in history we can't let John McCain and his Washington cronies sell out American health care. McCain advisers Phil Gramm and Rick Davis, lobbyists for the banking and home mortgage industries, got rich off of peddling these disastrous policies. Can American families really afford more of the same?
McCain may call himself a "reformer," but there's nothing maverick about handing taxpayers the bill for the mess his policies made.
For your consideration.
The fact that the American economy is collapsing should be examined from the perspective of historic tax cutting policies.
We were told, as we were also told during Reagan's tenure, that deep cuts in tax rates, specifically for the richest in our society, would create a positive 'trickle down' effect benefitting all.
How's that workin' out?
Kyle: My question is….who in the hell are the 22%?

FiFi,
Your cut and paste talking points do not explain why buying health isnurance across state lines would be a bad thing. It wouldn't.
Ya'll don't think this stuff thru.
