I mean who gives a shit? Does it matter if we hate him or love him? I am not to concern about the Pres but Congress that hasn't done shit except take long vacations.

I am truly worried about this country. Does it mean we should elect our next president based on his "likeness" or "personality" ?

It wasn't a popularity poll - the question was "do you approve of the President's job performance?"

And the answer to your question is yes, we should elect a President we would approve of.

Ok I guess all americans should chose a president over personality and not over competence.

Also, please post the poll that questions " do you approve of congress job performance?"

What are you talking about? Job approval has nothing to do with personality. Bush has consistently polled better in likeability than job approval - this poll questioned whether or not Americans believe Bush has done a good job as President - only 19% do believe so.

And since you asked for them, here are the Feb. 1st Congressional approval ratings from the Washington Post:

ABC News/Wash Post 01/30 - 02/01 33% Approve 59% Disapprove

So yes, Congress is still considerably more competent than the White House in the eyes of the public.

Excuse me? You asked for a poll, I went to the Washington Post's website and gave you their most recent one.

Ok, now you're just babbling. You don't think the GOP brought up Clinton's fall in approval during the Lewinsky scandal? The point is, this President's policies are the most unpopular of all-time. The reason this is significant is that it bodes very badly for the GOP in 2008, and marks a significant disillusionment with this Administration in particular.

Ummm... says the guy who just posts news articles from the AP newsfeed.

This news is significant because it is five points below the lowest presidential approval rating of all-time. And I would argue that you did learn something - since you obviously did not know what an approval rating actually measures.

Oh its a fucking coincidence you went right to the source that gives the highest rating to congress

WTF are you talking about. Bill Clinton was caught getting head from one of his assistance and you expect America to react to it positively? If you hold the highest office of your country and you use it to get head do you expect your approval ratings to go up? Yes the GOP was responsible for that scandal. Karl Rove hired Monica to give Bill head and then sabotage how this scandal was going to be brought to the public

Im not going to say I post the best threads... but what you post imo is sh*t. i mean how many threads have there been of Bushs approval rating? thought so!

Furthermore, Latin, your insinuations about the relative unpopularity of Congress being blamed on Democrats is somewhat faulty. Take a look at SurveyUSA's approval rating rankings for all 100 Senators:

http://www.surveyusa.com/50State200...roval061122.htm

Regrettably their most recent aggregate numbers are from Nov. 2006, but you can see a clear trend - count how many Democrats and how many Republicans fall in the top 50 approval rating.

Eight of the top 10 most approved Senators in the US Senate are Democrats, and eight of the bottom 10 least approved Senators in the US Senate are Republicans.

Did they give the highest numbers? Coincidence I guess. I just happened to know that WashPo catalogues such things - I almost went to CQ but didn't think it would be up to date. I'm sure you would have found something wrong with those numbers too. And in any case, every one of the polls listed at PollingReport are higher than 19%... so what's your point?

I didn't say the GOP manufactured the scandal... I'm merely refuting that publicizing relatively low approval ratings are the domain of the Democratic Party. But feel free to leap to all the conclusions you'd like.

One? I apologize for not submitting this for your approval (lol) before posting it. I will go back to re-reading old (and not particularly interesting) news articles that you copy and paste for my enjoyment.
