Democrat-Controlled Congress Now Polling At 11% Approval

Ken McCracken • October 18, 2007

Which, interestingly enough, is less than half of where the Nazis are polling in Germany today.
Ok, that was a little unfair, but still. 11%.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Deepening unhappiness with President George W. Bush and the U.S. Congress soured the mood of Americans and sent Bush’s approval rating to another record low this month, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.
The Reuters/Zogby Index, which measures the mood of the country, also fell from 98.8 to 96 — the second consecutive month it has dropped. The number of Americans who believe the country is on the wrong track jumped four points to 66 percent.
Bush’s job approval rating fell to 24 percent from last month’s record low for a Zogby poll of 29 percent. A paltry 11 percent gave Congress a positive grade, tying last month’s record low.

So now that poll after poll has shown that almost nobody in America is happy with Democrat leadership in Congress, where’s the endless articles from the media about changing policy direction? The ones calling on the Democrats to stop trying to lose the war and shove socialized medicine down our throats?
Those are on their way, right?

I didn’t get the part where I compared the 25% of the german population who were apparently ok with the Nazi as Rob wrote and the recent Bush favorability (sic) numbers at 24%. How’s that for math, you flunk!

Let’s compare this argument with the sentence fragment you started off with!

Almost matches Bush’s numbers, Rob!

I appreciate your attempts at fiction, but I commented on your asinine sentence fragment which seemed to imply 11 was almost 24.

If you also have ADD, scroll up to your comment of 8:03 PM Puzzleflunk.

Learn to communicate in complete cogent sentences and perhaps you won’t be taken for a fool quite as often!

Rob, long past Bush leaving. How do think the Rs are going to persuade the independents to come back, they can barely keep their own Rs in line. It’s not just about the Ds and Rs, Rob. Look at the next few polls and see where the indies are. That’s gonna be your problem. Look at the party id numbers already.

Guttermouth, here piggy, piggy, piggy!!

Proof, Bush is also a point in the article and if you used your little finger to click on the highlighted section you would have easily made the connection,

Puzz: Bush is a minor point in the article, the major thrust of which is Congressional approval ratings. Contrary to your ass-umption, I did read the entire article.
Your subject-less (dare I say pointless?) comment may have been crystal clear in your tiny, Bush-hating mind, but what you typed was in apparent contradiction to common math skills and common sense. (Both of which you appear to lack!)
The onus is upon you to make whatever comment you make clear to others. Again, I know what you wish you’d said, but, to anyone who reads the exchange, it is clear YOU DID NOT SAY IT!
Perhaps if you removed your little finger from your nose or ass, you might be able to comprehend a simple logical argument?

A simple click of the mouse, o lazy one and the connection would have been made…
Not blaming anyone just pointing out your ineptness to make a simple connection with a highlighted article within the article.

Simple? Ja! It would have to be for you to comprehend it! Unfortunately, your comment did not reference anything within the article. Because you, (how should I put this?) were too LAZY to write a complete sentence…a few simple keystrokes…to write a complete and cogent sentence!
Please stop blaming others for your lack of communication skills and ineptness. You’re only digging the hole deeper as you go!

Proof,
Come on, you got suckered-in, you know the left can’t acknowledge their constant failings – they have to change the subject.

Look at the next few polls and see where the indies are.

Because we all know voter-identity polls (and polls in general, election polls in particular) have been dead-solid, on-the-money, right.

Oh yeah, that’s right, they’ve been horribly off the mark.

Perhaps is (sic) you could read a sentence and make the connection,

Perhaps is??? I realize you’re a victim of government schools, but there is always remedial reading!

I responded writing that it’s about the same as Bush’s numbers

You responded in an incomplete sentence with NO subject! Only the voices in your head will know for certain what the subject is unless you write it down! ( DUH! )
You can give lame excuse and explanations for what you meant all day long. I commented on what you said contrasted to the material that immediately preceded it.

You blew it, Puzzled One. And you’re too small to admit it. Pathetic.

Oh yeah, Proof, any questions? Duh!

Yeah! What part of “math impaired” didn’t you understand?

work you haven’t done!

Sorry! Should have been “work you didn’t do!”

See! Admitting you made a mistake isn’t all that hard! You should try it sometime! (You should be good at it by now!)

11 Unionscum think Congress is doing a good job. We get it. Unionscum are stupid. You don’t have to rub your own nose in it, we will gladly do it for you.

Let’s review: Headline:

Democrat-Controlled Congress Now Polling At 11% Approval

First comment:

Almost matches Bush’s numbers (24%), Rob!

Apply Occam’s razor. Discuss.

Or must one be a mind reader to complete your incomplete arguments??

Puzzlefraud: I’m going to assume for the moment that you are an adult, and not a child or developmentally disabled. (Though there is not sufficient evidence to differentiate the difference here.) In the real world, adults take responsibility for what they actually say, not what they wished they’d said!

The subject of the post was the approval rating of Congress. In your BDS fever wracked mind, you saw the chance to equate “Bush” with “Nazis”. And in your gleeful haste, you made a remark that something “Almost matches Bush’s numbers”, didn’t say what that something was and now you want to blame everyone who didn’t understand your incomplete argument for what you wished you said!

Instead of calling people names, you should attempt to clarify your muddled thoughts and try to communicate that mush that passes for your thinking more clearly.

Hey Puzzled, Bush is out of the White House in a little over a year. How long do you think Reid/Pelosi are going to stay in charge of Congress?

If these two boobs Reid and Pelosi keep up there present pace, I would think they are going to be on their way to being a minority party again. Heard on the radio the other day that Reid is very unpopular in Nevada.

Almost matches Bush’s numbers, Rob!

For the math impaired:

Bush’s job approval rating fell to 24 percent

A paltry 11 percent gave Congress a positive grade

In Puzz’s world (dominated by government schools, no doubt!), 11 almost matches 24.

Any questions?

Doubt it. The reason for the plummeting polls is the disfavor amongst democratic voters.

If this was true, it would clearly indicate that the “promise ‘em anything to get elected” Democrats have been systematically unable to back up those promises with action.

Not only can the Congressional Democrats not deliver on what they’re supposed to do, they can’t deliver on what they’ve promised to do either.
Puzzlefeet

Proof, Bush is also a point in the article and if you used your little finger to click on the highlighted section you would have easily made the connection, but since you are apparently unable or unwilling for whatever reason to check out the article,then I am way to advanced for your little mind to catch up with so take a break and hopefully you can restart your little engine.

A simple click of the mouse, o lazy one and the connection would have been made. Not too tough even for you I would hope. Not blaming anyone just pointing out your ineptness to make a simple connection with a highlighted article within the article.

Democrat Party controlled Congress is a complete failure, just as I told you it would be last November. Remember that, sweety? Remember how you told us in several different threads that they would sweep away all corruption and pass all their motions and bills in the first 100 days? We remember.

Now, why don’t you and the other 10 Unionscum morons tell how great the Democrat Party is? We never get tired of laughing at your stupid asses.
Puzzlefeet

Whoa there Proof and guttermouth, how about taking a look at the article then come back and talk? You shoot from the hip before you even know what you are talking about. So typical! What a hoot! Bwaaahhhhhaaaaaaa!!!

Doubt it. The reason for the plummeting polls is the disfavor amongst democratic voters. Republican voters will never approve. Those numbers have stayed the same. However, Dem voters haven’t gotten a single thing that they were promised… hence the low numbers. The only numbers that will EVER rebound are those from the left. To think any other way is backwards.

In other words, unless those in Congress press HARDER on the issues that got them there in the first place…ie. accountability, iraq, health care… they’ll stay where they are.

BTW, Puzz: This isn’t your union. You don’t get credit for work you haven’t done!

…..where the Nazis are polling in Germany today.

I responded writing that it’s about the same as Bush’s numbers. thus the comment. Just a bit too fast for ya.

Just because you won’t read the corresponding highlighted article referred to is your problem not mine.

Guttermouth, here piggy, piggy piggy!!!

No, we won’t see any articles about a “Change in Political Direction”.

Here’s the headlines we will be seeing side by side until election day.

“Democrat Congress at All-Time Low Approval Rating!”

“Republicans Depressed as Democrats Look for Huge Sweep in Up-coming Elections!”

Oxymoron anyone?

You see, the MSM Media would have us believe America doesn’t LOVE Congress ONLY because the dirst Republicans are blocking all the Democrats great ideas – not because in a year the Democrats have accomplished nothing.

See, sweety! I told you we would gladly rub your nose in it.
Bill Mitchell

P.S., Rasmussen has Bush at 37% Approval today. A poll by Reuters? Talk about the fox in the hen house!

I’d love to see their sample. I am guessing 18 to 25 point advantage given to Dems in the sample. That is the technique they prefer.

Oh, almost forgot. As of the close of the last fiscal quarter Union membership is down another 100,000. How is that bill of your’s doing in Congress? Thats right! It got flushed down the toilet just like your Union.
2Hotel9

Wow. 11 idiots think Congress is doing a good job. Thats frightening. Bet they are Union members.
Bat One

Perhaps if congressional Democrats started doing the people’s business every once in a while… one day a week, perhaps?

Then, maybe, they could find the time to pass a couple appropriations bills, and even work on some of those “promises” made by the Dowager Pelosi. Something to do with the first 100 days in office, I believe.

Not long, I think, because the last election victory wasn’t a win for Democrats. It was Republicans shooting themselves in the foot.

Not that they’ve done much to recover.

Riiiiiggghhhhtt. Keep telling yourself that. It’s sort of like the “it was all IRAQ!” fable Republicans have been telling themselves.
