Hmm, condencing the entirety of Bush's tenure into a simple yes-or-no state isn't an ideal way to guage it but if I have to consider the overall effects I'd have to say no. I agree with AgnosticAngel, I can't say the other candidates were much better so it made little difference overall. Although they may have gone down different routes I suspect they'd be equally as disasterous as his have been. |

This isn't personal, just something I'd like to share with you. 85% of statistics are made up (think about that one), and statistics is the only science where you can prove yourself right and wrong simultaneously with the same numbers. Just something to chew on. ![]() As for my opinion, I don't necessarily agree with some things that he has done, but riddle-me-this:
I could go on and on but I know I have better things to do tonight, so I leave you with this: Would John Kerry or Al Gore have done a better job than him? No. That said, as much as people may disagree with him, because of political staticness that only democrats and republicans are dominant enough to receive the votes of the uniformed we had no better choice. |

Interesting. My parents weren't asked of their opinion. Neither were any of the neighbors I've asked. My grandparents? No. Great Grandparents? You're kidding. Helping to prove Kyle's point: Stats are bull****. |

The poll doesn't ask everybody, obviously. So that number isn't exactly correct, but it is a close estimate, as the polls are given to certain people in different backgrounds. This works the same way as the exit polls do. How do you think they can declare a winner in an election with 1% of the polls reporting? This poll is just like almost all polls where they try to get a general consensus of America. While the number isn't going to be exactly correct, it is going to be close. EDIT: Source- I couldn't find the original one where it said today's approval rating was 39%, but this one is as recent as December 11th. |

If I could sum my words and thoughts up in a yes or no I would lol. Where is the politics sucks option. You got kids formulating opinions on what their bias friend told them at school about this and that. I don't think he's the best president we've had by any means, but hey, this is a serious matter and I really wonder just how much thought is actually put into this opinion. I don't think I pay enough attention to politics to really give a non bias opinion about this and quite franctly I don't think half the people here do too. Can't I just be moderate on this, do I really need to pick a side? |

that means nothing, at least wait untill 500-1000 people vote before you ever think about comparing polls. No one here knows anything about anything sadly. |

I know, which is why I already said that even though it is a small sample so far, I wanted to see the similarities. I am hoping this poll reaches 500 votes. |

No. I think most of his actions reguardless of reason, be it religious or not, were over the top. The War in Iraq was just plain stupid in my opinion, I'd rather he step up security in the United States only, and just leave Iraq well alone. War should be a last resort when another nation attacks us consistently. If the he spent the money he spent on the war on security here in the US, we wouldnt have to worry about attacks anymore. I wont even bother with his other stuff, or I will be at it all night. ~ Crimson |

So basically what you are saying is everytime we are attacked for no reason, all we should do is raise our security measures? No. We needed to defend ourselves, and the war was 100% the right thing to do, just not to the extent that we are involved in now. |

And in turn it entirely misrepresents and misleads people. Doing that relies on people being uniformed, that people of x background with y lifestyle must all be the same. It only says that 39% of people consulted approve of Bush. That's not different to the fact that the numbers you see in this poll in no way reflect the feelings of the Skin Zone majority. It may well come close in theory - maybe the majority don't like Bush - but without at least 3/4 of those who are active voting it's not possible to claim it's an accurate estimate. It's just a controlled statistic which, on its own, stands for nothing. Ever seen those "9/10 people prefer Yakkity Yak to Smakkity Smak" in adverts? It's all lies. Chances are only 5/5 people prefer one above the other because the "poll" is held in favour of the product; it seeks to ask regular users above all else naturally creating extreme bias. This is evident in the fact that apparently 9/10 people like all products above all other products, which seems to suggest either everyone buys every product and they lied in the questionnaire, or the company is only taking the target audience into consideration, a logical but flawed method. |

Yes, to simplify my answer. Looks like the media didn't sway my thinking to their liking, Astheria. |
