Seahawks Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 If the President feels bad about the nation's opinion of him—a meager 25% of those surveyed in a June Gallup poll approve of Bush's performance—all he needs to do is pick up that same poll and keep reading. According to Gallup, just 14% of people express confidence in the current Congress. That's the lowest measure in the 34 years Gallup has been tracking government institutions. http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1640263,00.html?xid=site-cnn-partner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal_Con Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 These kinds of polls are very misleading. People will say they are against congress but they do not vote for "congress". They vote for a specific representative. When asked if they support their congressperson they will usually say yes. The vast majorities of incumbents from both parties do do a good job of being responsive to their constituents they answer their mail etc. This is the big advantage of incumbency. The next most important factor is party here all polls still show a big advantage for the dems although this was stuck at the end of the article. Finally, the 85% includes those who think congress is not doing enough to end the war impeach Bush etc. and are very unlikely to vote for the GOP or even an Ind if that would give the GOP the seat.

kevbone Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Nearly half of the US public wants President George W. Bush to face impeachment, and even more favor that fate for Vice President Dick Cheney, according to a poll out Friday. I dont even know anyone who supports the Bush crime family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underworld Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 rewriting your quote: "more than half (or nearly) wants prez to NOT face impeachment..." of course you don't... you like to stick around like-minded thinkers. or as you might put it - diverse visit other parts of the country d00d.

No. 13 Baby Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Funny how people who get their news from Fox and Rush don't realize 49% of Senators and 46% of Representatives are republicans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
