Based on the current AP-Ipsos poll, even Bush's supporters must agree that he's not getting the job done, and citizens are not happy with the direction of our country (yes, even liberals are part of the USA).

Results of Poll on Public Attitude on Bush By The Associated Press
Fri Feb 10, 4:35 AM ET



The Associated Press-Ipsos poll on public attitudes about President Bush and Congress, conducted Feb. 6-8, is based on telephone interviews with 1,000 adults from all states except Alaska and Hawaii.

Results were weighted to represent the population by demographic factors such as age, sex, region, race and income.

No more than one time in 20 should chance variations in the sample cause the results to vary by more than plus or minus 3 percentage points from the answers that would be obtained if all Americans were polled.

There are other sources of potential error in polls, including the wording and order of questions. Results may not total 100 percent because of rounding. An X signifies less than 1 percent.

steven, all you are going to hear is that his numbers are way up since january

IMO, Bush failed when he went to war with the wrong country. All down hill from there. 'Nuff said.

Another totally bias post by Steve

I am really interested to know who exactly they poll. I have never been polled, neither has anyone that I know. How about you?

I have been polled.

Why is Steve biased for stating his opinion, but the conservatives aren't biased when they state theirs?

I know this poll is in some way false. In January Bush's approval rating went back over 50%.

Different people were polled. Why don't you assume his approval rating is false?

Stevie Boy this is your buddy from San Francisco. I agree with your post 100%. We are both from San Fran, The San Francisco Treat.

I always assume that approval ratings a false. Frankly I really don't care how everyone else thinks that the President is doing. I only worry about how I feel he is doing.

Ok it is a Poll! Who is it a poll of? Certainly not me or anyone I know
