Source & rest of story:President Bush would not get re-elected if an election were held this year, according to a CNN poll.
(CNN) -- A majority would vote for a Democrat over President Bush if an election were held this year, according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll released Tuesday.
In the latest poll, 55 percent of the respondents said that they would vote for the Democratic candidate if Bush were again running for the presidency this year.
Thirty-nine percent of those interviewed said they would vote for Bush in the hypothetical election.
The latest poll results, released Tuesday, were based on interviews with 1,008 adults conducted by telephone October 21-23.
In the poll, 42 percent of those interviewed approved of the way the president is handling his job and 55 percent disapproved. In the previous poll, released October 17, 39 percent approved of Bush's job performance -- the lowest number of his presidency -- and 58 percent disapproved.
However, all the numbers are within the poll's sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, so it's possible that the public's opinion has not changed at all.
More than half, 57 percent, said they don't agree with the president's views on issues that are important to them, while 41 percent said their views are in alignment with those of Bush on important issues.
Democrats preferred on issues
On separate issues, a majority of those questioned felt the Democrats could do a better job than Republicans at handling health care (59 percent to 30 percent), Social Security (56 percent to 33 percent), gasoline prices (51 percent to 31 percent) and the economy (50 percent to 38 percent).
Forty-six percent also believed Democrats could do better at handling Iraq, while 40 percent said the GOP would do better.
In 2003, 53 percent said Republicans would better handle Iraq and only 29 percent believed the Democrats would do better.

I'm sorry that you misunderstood my point! I'm happy that the country has realized that Bush's policies have created huge problems for all of us and that the tide is turning away from those disgusting decisions and America is ready to turn back to Deomcratic ideals.akyron said:I have a problem with this type of sentiment.
This part about you/democrats being so happy 2000 of our young men and women are dead stopped me dead right there.
26 X World Champs said:To even suggest that anyone rejoices in the death of our soldiers is insulting and based in misunderstanding or ignorance.
It's almost like you cannot accept the results of the poll so you have to retort with a mad stab at Democrats, trying to twist it into something really evil. It's a bit hard for me to understand you, to be frank.

Well since thats exactly what you said and that is the way you act it is easy to misunderstand your agenda. I dont care who is president as long as our ***** is working. Things are not so great now and instead of offering to work together or offer solutions all you have to offer is a b*tchfest.

Bush's ratings are not unlike many other presidents that came before him, even your beloved clinton-man-whore
HE WON THE ELECTION
Suck it up loser
I guess for you DeeJay the answer is a resounding YES!Are you going to blame Bill Clinton for this too?
No problem! I think we just misunderstood each other.akyron said:I didnt mean to stab anybody.
Sorry if you felt stabbed champ.
26 X World Champs said:Are you troubled that strong majorities now favor Democrats? Is it eating away at you? Do you sense that the worm has turned and that America is sick and tired of Bush's bullshit? Who ever heard of a spend and spend Republican before George?
November 2006 is only a year away...the next 12 months should be quite interesting around here...

DeeJayH said:Dems dont currently have solutions to anything
as a result, they lost the executive branch, the legislative branch and the gubernatorial positions
and now bush is moving the Judicial to the right
The right was put into power because america was fed up with the left
26 X World Champs said:I eagerly await the Republican response to this poll. Please let the CNN bashing begin. The funny thing is that Bush's numbers will continue to get worse, especially on 10-26-05 when members of his inner circle could be indicted, not to mention 2000 Americans now dead in Iraq....Read this my dear friends and smile if you're a Democrat and start making excuses if you're not....Are you going to blame Bill Clinton for this too?

My oh my.....what will happen to the smugness of Republicans if the 2006 elections take away Republican majorities in the Congress?
The numbers are really interesting. Health care, Social Security, Gas prices, the Economy all would be done better by Democrats! Not only that, but it's a clear, clear majority that feels this way.
What did Bob Dylan say? "The times they are a changing." (We Democrats love Bob Dylan).

I agree, sincerely! It's been a long time since poll numbers were so pro-Democrat and I confess it does cause me to have hope for our future again. 2008 is a lifetime away so who knows what will happen.Middleground said:As much as I relish the Bush Administration losing face, I wouldn't be celebrating too much, Champ. It's just a poll and opinion changes faster than hell. Should the Republicans nominate a strong candidate and divorce themselves from the current neocon Administration, then they can very well take it in 2008.
The Dems need to get their act together and come up with a strategic plan and solid party policies that fit the needs of the American public. The core is solid... it just need some polishing and rejuvination, I think.

Stu Ghatze said:Okay democrat, here is your answer from me. Number one, Bush is not running for anything; I sometimes think you democrats have forgotten that!
Number two....right now the media piling on has put you in orgasmic joy. Enjoy it, as orgasms are very fleeting, & do not last long.
IF & when Cheney, & Rove...or any of them are indicted, they will THEN have an opportunity to defend themselves in a COURT OF LAW in this disingenuine so called hunt for truth in the Valeri Plame/CIA case.
Fitzgerald CANNOT prove who the first person was that outed Valeri Plame out, ..so that intent is now lost, & they are following a new script which is to link the Iraqi war to being based on a lie, all hatched with the help of Plames piece of crap husband, Joe Wilson who from the very begining was nothing more than a political hack "positioned" to go to Niger & report that Sadaam did not recieve uranium from Niger!
Fact is, even British intel said that Sadaam DID try to obtain it, ..that fact was conveniently LEFT OUT by Wilson & why not;.. both he & his wife Plame were ardent Kerry supporters.
Wilson has been caught in absolute untruths, & out & out lies that even The New York Times has NOT even reported on,... over this so called outing of his wife, & even his fact finding trip to Niger.
I'm simply waiting in HOPE that indictments come if they actually come at all, so Wilson can be torn apart by even the most average defense attorney that represent Rove, & or Cheney because Wilson's LIES will be exposed then just as his disingenuine trip to Niger was as nothing more than a lame as.s attempt to discredit the whole Bush administration with the approval of some in the democratic party!
Enjoy your orgasm now, ..true euphoria will come when Cheney, & Rove & company are exhonerated IF it goes to trial, because there is NO way in hell Fitzgerald can actually prove that Bush & company deliberatley "outed" Plame as a form of payback. (non-sense)
As a matter of fact, ...many people knew of Plames CIA connections long before Rove, or Cheney did; ...so WHY isn't Fitzgerald huntinfg for them???
That is obvious, as long as he can "manufacture" something ELSE to charge Cheney, Rove or Libby with, ..he will!
Something that the democrats always wanted done in the first place. This is NO longer about Valeri PLame. No, this is about destroying the Bush presidency, & using lies & trying to tie it into the whole war in Iraq, & by wishfully hoping this investigation snowballs into something much bigger as did the Watergate scandal in a vain attempt to destyroy the presidency.
This whole investigation is BOGUS, ..most reasonable people can conclude EXACTLY what is happening by the medias own behavior in this whole shoddy affair just by the way the media is reporting things as is their talking points!

akyron said:While all of that may or may not be true. Republicans dont seem to be doing that much better at the moment. I am not sure if its the politics or the politicians that are more corrupt and either way they are not helping Americans right now.
