President slips to all-time low in the Zogby
Poll as key demographic groups jump ship


From the Zogby webpage courtesy of AlterNet:

The poll showed that Bush’s troubles clearly stem from trouble with the war in Iraq. Just 24% give him positive marks for his handling of the war, down from 39% who gave him a positive rating six months ago for his handling the way. Even among Republicans, a minority – 47% – think he has handled the war well (52% of Republicans gave him negative marks for his leadership on the war in Iraq). Not a single demographic group in the Zogby poll gave the president a majority positive rating for his handling of the war.

Asked whether the Iraq war has been worth the loss of American lives, just 34% responded positively, equally the lowest percentage recorded in a long series of Zogby polls on the question. The poll comes on the heels of the announcement that more than 2,900 Americans had been killed in the war.

Well, I suppose that definitively answers the question about whether the recent election results were about the war: apparently, only the hardcore right-wing has the stomach for this bullshit anymore. Unfortunately, the wildly unpopular and incompetent President Bush still has two more years as Commander-in-Chief, which means at least two more years of meaningless death and destruction in the Fertile Crescent.

You know, if Bush is so utterly loathed by so many Americans, why the hell are the Democrats so shy about impeachment? Damn it! I want my fucking impeachment!
