Bush's Approval Rating Rising
The Associated Press
March 9, 2007


CBNNews.com -- WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush, in a bitter showdown with Congress over Iraq, has crept up a speck from an all-time low in his job approval rating. But his standing is the weakest of any second-term president at this point in 56 years.

The numbers in the latest AP-Ipsos poll gave the White House little reason for cheer as Bush opened a weeklong visit to Latin America to bolster U.S. influence in the face of rising anti-American sentiment.

Weighed down by the unpopular war in Iraq, which is about to begin its fifth year, and opposition to his decision to send more troops into combat, Bush had an approval rating of 35 percent in early March. Still, that was up from 32 percent in February when his rating was tied for an all time low in AP-Ipsos polling.

Answer 1

AP-IPSOS is usually a very good poll, ask of a cross section of the U.S. not people for their political interest. I would trust those figures to be within the built in margin of error.

Answer 2

It's obvious that this president doesn't give a damn about what the American people think. His ratings keep dropping and he still doesn't care and thinks he can bully congress into anything he wants.

At 30 percent, President Bush's approval ratings remain stuck where they have been since the GOP lost control of Congress in November. The president's approval rating for his handling of the Iraq war remains unchanged from the last NEWSWEEK Poll at 27 percent, despite an uptick in the public’s positive feelings about the situation in Iraq—up 5 points to 29 percent since January. However, that slight recovery does not translate into greater support for the president’s decision to send more troops to Iraq. Just 32 percent support the president’s approach, while 59 percent support Democratic legislation to require the withdrawal of U.S. troops by the fall of next year.

Answer 3

Are you you kidding me? A pattern length of 1100 people? Randomly chosen or no longer, that's thoroughly bogus. i think of that's risk-free to assume that there are a minimum of 1100 people who help Bush and 1100 who do no longer. What if in yet another random determination achieved, 990 have been bush supporters and one hundred ten have been against his administration? Wow ninety%, the super help a president has ever recieved. Now if that ballot grow to be over a million million people which encompassed each and every substantial demographic, i might lend some credibility to the score. however the numbers consistent with this ballot could be inconsistent if 3 hundred million people have been asked those comparable questions. If he has such low help, why hasn't he been impeached yet? i do no longer believe all of his procedures of working this us of a, yet I help his politics. i think of the errors he has made are because of loss of adventure. yet untill I see a ballot of important numbers, i'm going to offer noe value to scores. Semper Fi, Viva Le Liberty

Answer 4

His average, across a number of polls and over a number of months, has been in the mid 30's. That hasn't changed. Any change that's less than the margin of error is meaningless.

Answer 5

Good thing about Bush is that he governs based on what he believes is best for the country, not what opinion polls say. But alas, liberals love Billy and often thrust out that fact he was a "popular" President based on polls, but that doesn't mean he was a good leader.

Be honest, if Bush was polling at 70% approval, you folks would be saying polls don't matter.

My opinion would remain the same. You can't judge the mettle of a leader based on polls.

Answer 6

I disapprove of Bush and no one asked me.

It is obvious that lord Limbaugh and False News have a deeply embedded right wing bias and will say anything to make Bush look better than he truly is.

I wouldn't mind False News bias if they were honest about it versus claiming to be "balanced".

Answer 7

ZERO , 00000000000000000, NADA, ZIP, ZILCH. NONE, he will go down as THE WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. they assasinated kennedy, probably the most liked, they impeached clinton for a blowj-b, but you let this guy run your country. he's killed over 3000 americans, in iraq. more than the 9/11 attacks. now that's a terrorist.

Answer 8

It could be 1% and he'd still be the president until his term is up. It really doesn't matter one way or the other.

Answer 9

Do you believe Bush cares about his approval rating?

Really. Does it matter at all? Is he up for re-election?

Answer 10

Do you believe 64% are disappointed with the left controlled congress.......Hmmm, If polls are now important I like Gallop.
