Bush now has a mere 24% approval rating, congress has 11%, and Cheney is the least popular presidential vice in history. So Bush's approval is lower than Carter's lowest (28%), and glory haleleujah if he isn't closing in on Nixon's all-time RECORD low of 23%! By some accounts, he's already there.
A blast from the past via The American Prospect, April 2006:
The Question: Nixon's Approval Rating Hit 24 Percent. How Low Can W's Go?
“Keep praying, but it's unlikely. Bush's ratings among Republicans would not only have to dip below 70 percent -- where they've never been -- but below 60 percent.”
--Ruy Teixeira, writer/blogger
“Bush's situation is more like Truman's during the ‘Communism, Corruption, and Korea' days. I say he stays in the 30s through '06.”
--Pat Buchanan, American Conservative magazine
“Theoretically, he can go down to zero. But that would assume that he lost his family. Frankly, I think he may have already lost Neil.”
--Al Franken, Air America host
Doesn't it seem like everyone knows? Almost everyone?
And for all the Rufus fans out there:
And yet, the neocon agenda advances unabated as if they had any political capital whatsoever. So, here's what I wonder...
Does it make any difference if everyone knows, and what do you think will stop it in the end?
Open thread with question. Indulge me.
