- TheRealToma, on 10/10/2007, -65/+393Would be nice to see a graph that ends in 100.... and maybe even starts at 0.
- Fascist, on 10/10/2007, -28/+287Why isn't he at 0 yet?
- bjgpp, on 10/10/2007, -19/+205Believe it or not, Congress' is even lower...
- carpespasm, on 10/10/2007, -11/+190because they aren't doing ***** about bush.
- duggtodeath, on 10/10/2007, -45/+173Achtung, after the next false flag terror attack, our Fuhrer's popularity will skyrocket, jawohl!
- Rabid_Llama, on 10/10/2007, -10/+121You know a conservative republican president is doing bad when he's scoring about 25% approval on Fox News' poll.
- AlphaEta, on 10/10/2007, -11/+120Good question. 1 in 4 people still approve of what this numb nuts is doing... what the hell?
- skizzabadoo, on 10/10/2007, -39/+147Why? It would be blank and wasted space since his ratings have never been that high or low respectively. Why do we need more white space when most of us understand why the scale is the range it is?
- kutza, on 10/10/2007, -4/+91Nice job forgetting to strip out the REDDIT referral in the URL.
- geeker819, on 10/10/2007, -10/+80Because some people are still gullible enough to watch FOX News.
- hipnerd, on 10/10/2007, -8/+76By that logic, they also made it look like he had a 100% approveal ratings when he did not.
Not eveything is the result of hidden bias. Narrowing of the range of your x-axis to focus on the significant numbers is a relatively comon practice and it does not require a conspiracy by the liberal media to explain it. - natch, on 10/10/2007, -21/+84The sad thing is how many people, in red states at least, still have W stickers on their cars.
Goes to show that the problem is not just with Bush, the problem is with Republicans, who pretend corporate welfare is more important than college aid, protecting the Bible is more important than leaving a clean planet for future generations, and keeping stem cells alive for a few more hours before they are thrown in the garbage anyway is more important than saving dying children. - Joe_rigby, on 10/10/2007, -27/+85If you can't properly read a graph, then don't bitch about it on digg.com
- DeadlyBrad42, on 10/10/2007, -0/+48Did you fail high school?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -14/+62Will Congress do their ***** job and impeach him and Cheney and stop voting on bills that give him more powers!
- Jacob, on 10/10/2007, -52/+95but it makes the results seem different then they really are, it makes it look like he has 0% approval when it's over 25%. It's just one of those things graph makers do to show you what they want you to see.
- Nick22, on 10/10/2007, -8/+44I think this proves South Parks theory that 1/4th of the world is retarded. 25% of the populous approve of bush.
- ghostlywind, on 10/10/2007, -20/+55Christians
- philippbock, on 10/10/2007, -3/+34I might be a bit late now, but I made a fixed version (yeah, I was bored…) Notice a difference?
http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/1640/fixedqb4.gif - OneAndOnlySnob, on 10/10/2007, -1/+32Believe it or not, it's not simply a Democratic Congress.
Believe it or not, the House is 47% Republican.
Believe it or not, the Senate is 49% Republican (50% democrat. With the two independents, I'll count Bernie Sanders as a Democrat, but I'm not counting Lieberman. He even nearly caucused with the republicans.)
Believe it or not, the Democrats might not be the sole reason Congress is unpopular. They don't have unquestioned authority there. Congress is pretty split right now. That said, I'm happy with my Representative. I approve of him. I have mixed feelings about one of my Senators, and I don't really like the other. On the whole, Congress sucks. - RocketGib, on 10/10/2007, -6/+36Notice how FOX tends to stay above the line?
- Pake, on 10/10/2007, -2/+31The problem is idiots who keep voting for Democraps and Republicunts, rather than voting in people who they trust and agree with. "Oh look! His name has a (D) after it. He's my type of person!" "Oh look! His name has a (R) after it. He's my type of person!"
- batshitcrazy, on 10/10/2007, -7/+28i'm kinda scared by this actually... seems like we're due for a popularity spike
- natch, on 10/10/2007, -11/+31One word: Republicans.
- hmunkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Speechless.
Digg gave you a spellchecker, use it. - 15charmaxwtf, on 10/10/2007, -9/+29Wow things like 9/11 really cloud the peoples' judgement!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22That's because one forth of Americans are retarded.
"Let's take a test sample, there's four of us, you're retarded, that's one forth!" - TygerrTygerr, on 10/10/2007, -11/+28So 9/11 was the best thing that happened in his presidential career. Funny old world isn't it.
- mace2, on 10/10/2007, -5/+21This is very ignorant. There have been many documented false flag attacks in history. Go do some research.
- DocHoliday22, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20The graph was done using a spreadsheet software and if you have ever used one they try to conserve space by removing axis values that are not needed so that the graph can be maximised for page height and width. There is no conspiracy here unless these spreadsheet packages were coded in to create conspiracy and bias - but that's just stupid now isn't it?
Also note that Fox viewers ratings are always significantly higher than other news channels... There's no conspiracy there - they're just dumb. - carpespasm, on 10/10/2007, -9/+24interesting how the different news outlets show their viewership in their stats.
- directedition, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Except he's not a conservative. Conservatives tend to avoid spending tons of money.
- a12k, on 10/10/2007, -11/+26the monster.com commercial with the 'monkeys at work' comes to mind where they rotate the graph to make it look positive.. I can see Bush doing that...
- kufu91, on 10/10/2007, -13/+2876% of america, why do you hate america?
- Fordi, on 10/10/2007, -8/+22Congress' approval rating is comparable, but a bit higher, at an average of 27% over the five major polling sources.
If you're going to sling *****, please sling it responsibly. - PixelVision, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Eskimos
- UtopiaInTheSky, on 10/10/2007, -3/+17They're mad at Bush for sucking, and they're even more mad at Congress for not stopping Bush's sucking. Understand yet?
- ozzum, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16It just goes to prove that if you want to be popular then you have to create a catastrophe as in the book "1984".
What's next????? - Stormflux, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Bush isn't liberal or conservative. He quite literally takes the worst aspects of both schools of thought and rolls them into a giant tarball of bad governance.
- Genius16, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15he made our people feel frightened and insecure
- oMeSSiaHo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Imagine if 75% of your bosses didnt approve of what you were doing. Imagine if 85% didnt approve. I know it isnt that simple but logically he and congress should be "fired". I sorta feel like Jefferson Smith, why is the system so convoluted and difficult?!
- j.carcinogen, on 10/10/2007, -5/+17Bankers and the people who control money actually are doing excellent with Bush's administration. Keep in mind they also rule our government with the central bank that is not a part of the government: the Federal Reserve.
- Fordi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Congress is at 27%; that's slightly more than 1 in 4, and quite a bit more than 1 in 5.
- Firehed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12I'm glad to see there's at least one other person out there that realizes that political parties don't mean *****.
- crispee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11you're right. I wouldn't hate Bush if he was doing his job well. Too bad there's an insurgency, civil war and a country on the brink of chaos. What does that have to do with supporting or not supporting a democrat?
Who's disillusioned by the way? - gwolf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11People are mad at congress for not getting these idiots under control.
- adrenaline33, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11He is viewed as incompetent because of how bad he ***** things up after 9/11 but I doubt he was the reason for 9/11 in his less than eight months in office.
- Frnnkdlxx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Cheney is somewhere between a black hole and another universe.
- duggtodeath, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9"you're"
- blackjack75, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Hum, why would anyone like congress? There are people from both parties, so each half is bound to be hated by the other half.
