- polymath22, on 10/20/2007, -11/+52bush should do what any respectable executive would do if they lost the confidence of the shareholders; resign, and spend time with his family.
- pintomp3, on 10/20/2007, -6/+46***** that, he should be charged with violating the constitution, the geneva conventions and war crimes.
- swazo, on 10/19/2007, -5/+14uhh. he has world war 3 to start first.
- anarchyx34, on 10/19/2007, -4/+7He already did! Just you wait and see.
- domino42, on 10/20/2007, -7/+5and what exactly did he violate... hmm? what part of the convention applies to a military force that does not have a nation, uniform, etc?
- Wartyboskfapped, on 10/19/2007, -3/+3Outlining Bush's crimes would be an article demanding reply tl;dr
- swazo, on 10/19/2007, -5/+14uhh. he has world war 3 to start first.
- jtbndy, on 10/20/2007, -6/+7Who wouldnt' want to spend time with his daughter?
- weeeezzll, on 10/19/2007, -4/+3I'd hit it!
- EmoSLWarrior, on 10/19/2007, -3/+3Me, for one. She's not that attractive. At least to someone like me. She reminds me of all the girls who were mean and bitchy for no good reason when I was in high school and middle school. Not to me directly. But a lot of my friends suffered at the hands of girls like Bush's daughters. Besides if you want attractive from my perspective, I'm forever swooning for the following women:

The Bush twins can't hold a candle to any of these real women.- williamdyer, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1Yeah, but... TWINS!
- mclumber1, on 10/20/2007, -5/+7Congress should also resign, as they have an 11% approval rating.
- rthakidn, on 10/20/2007, -3/+9I agree. So should the 535 members of Congress who's approval rating is 11%.
- mistercharlie, on 10/19/2007, -4/+3He should follow the example of disgraced Japanese leaders - seppuku!
- gen0x, on 10/19/2007, -1/+0Yes, very likely to happen.
- Mechanized, on 10/20/2007, -1/+2So, the rest of congress and the senate, whom approval ratings are equally as low, should resign as well. And go spend time with their families.
- pintomp3, on 10/20/2007, -6/+46***** that, he should be charged with violating the constitution, the geneva conventions and war crimes.
- Observant1, on 10/27/2007, -11/+12survey was probably from a list of old bush supporters who are beginning to see the truth, my guess bush/cheney approval more like what congress's rating is now.. 12% ?
- jfowler27, on 10/19/2007, -5/+15Have you ever been outside and talked to people beyond your close circle of friends? Even living in a very liberal area, I see how how a 24% national approval rating makes sense. No matter what you do, there's always going to be someone who supports you for whatever reason. I know a guy who still support Bush because he hasn't taken away his right to own a *****-ton of guns. The very fact that Fox News is still being broadcast should be an indication that there's something wrong with quite a few people in this country.
- oldhick, on 10/19/2007, -1/+6The 2nd Amendment is important to people who put their faith in the Constitution. Now putting your faith in Bush is retarded. It was his administration that went door-to-door during Katrina and confiscated weapons... But that is certainly an issue that many people won't budge on, very similar to abortion.
- jfowler27, on 10/19/2007, -1/+4I'm not saying the 2nd Amendment is wrong or anything. I'm just pointing out the odd reasons that people put confidence in Bush, and that some people ignore all the bad he's actually done.
- card51short, on 10/19/2007, -1/+3exactly...like guns weren't legal before bush too

- rthakidn, on 10/19/2007, -2/+1Would that make the Congress' approval rating even lower?
- LastVisibleDog, on 10/20/2007, -2/+1Don't lie now - the Democrat-controlled congress' approval rating is at 11% (less than half of Bush's approval rating)
- LastDumbDog, on 10/20/2007, -2/+1How many times do people have to repeat things to the dog before it learns?
1. While democrats have a majority, it does not have enough for control (filibuster or veto proof)
2. Disapproval is because 70% of America do not believe Democrats are doing enough to stop this administration and its enablers.
Stupid dog. Go away.- LastVisibleDog, on 10/20/2007, -1/+1Damn you are an idiot. The Congress is completely controlled by the Democrats (both House and Senate) - the Democrats hold each and every leadership position and control what gets done - the approval ratings are based on the actions of leadership (just like the approval rating of the executive branch). What does the Democrat party do for you that makes you what to be their spin-boy. As for number two (and I mean number 2!!) - what, you think you can read minds - on what do you base this brain-fart? BTW: Number two trumps number one - you logic is totally convoluted (what should we expect from a spin-boy). So if the Democrat congress - by some miracle - gets high approval ratings you are going to scream the Republicans deserve some of the credit - get a clue little spin-boy
- Insightful, on 10/22/2007, -1/+1Approval rating is based on what they do - not what committee people chair. Polls say that people hate Republicans for who they are and hate Democrats for not doing more to get out this mess. Sorry, reality has a liberal spin too, apparently.

- RockMyMonkey, on 10/27/2007, -2/+18I have a feeling it will go down even further since he is a lame duck. Not even the Republican presidential candidates seem to want his endorsement.
- Gabberwok, on 10/19/2007, -1/+4Then again, Al Gore didn't want Bill Clinton's endorsement when his approval rating was in the 70s. (Although that probably was a mistake for him politically, whereas distancing themselves from Bush is probably the only hope any Republicans have of winning more than 30% of the vote.)
- jhshukla, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1they are dissociating from him, at least publicly, to gain people's confidence; not because they truly dislike his doings. if they were even slightest bit honest, there would have been motion for impeachment.
- empirefalling, on 10/23/2007, -20/+7Change is inevitable...
Perhaps change for the good?

THE SOCIALIST PARTY strives to establish a radical democracy that places people's lives under their own control - a non-racist, classless, feminist socialist society...where working people own and control the means of production and distribution through democratically-controlled public agencies; where full employment is realized for everyone who wants to work; where workers have the right to form unions freely, and to strike and engage in other forms of job actions; and where the production of society is used for the benefit of all humanity, not for the private profit of a few. We believe socialism and democracy are one and indivisible. The working class is in a key and central position to fight back against the ruling capitalist class and its power. The working class is the major force worldwide that can lead the way to a socialist future - to a real radical democracy from below. The Socialist Party fights for progressive changes compatible with a socialist future. We support militant working class struggles and electoral action, independent of the capitalist controlled two-party system, to present socialist alternatives. We strive for democratic revolutions - radical and fundamental changes in the structure and quality of economic, political, and personal relations - to abolish the power now exercised by the few who control great wealth and the government. The Socialist Party is a democratic, multi-tendency organization, with structure and practices visible and accessible to all members Join us today- z0zin, on 10/20/2007, -13/+5Dude! The Communist experiment failed! A Utopian society isn't possible.
- BrandonMills, on 10/20/2007, -4/+14Communism != Socialism.
- jivecjedkin, on 10/22/2007, -7/+2You != Smart just because you use !=.
Socialism is a stepping stone, the next step = communism.
It might as well be called communism, it's the same damn thing.- EmoSLWarrior, on 10/20/2007, -0/+2Yes... in the same way that capitalism leads the military-industrial complex. Next step = fascism. Blackwater...
- Wartyboskfapped, on 10/22/2007, -1/+4It's not the same thing and socialism has never been tried as a political system. Saying communism directly stems from socialism is a failure of an argument, it's not even a point, and it is without a shred of evidence. It's like saying smoking pot leads to heroin addiction. Learn something about economics and politics before you spew your *****.
- jivecjedkin, on 10/22/2007, -7/+2You != Smart just because you use !=.
- hokie47, on 10/20/2007, -7/+1Z0zin is right. Maybe when we have star trek kind of technology and all our needs are taken care of then maybe a socialist society would work. Until then I think capitalism wins every time.
- BrandonMills, on 10/20/2007, -4/+14Communism != Socialism.
- azprofessional, on 10/22/2007, -1/+5Umm no thanks, pipe dreams are not part of my political solution.
- Timetheos, on 10/22/2007, -1/+7Extreme capitalism does not work. Socialism does not work. The only way is the middle way: regulated capitalism.

- obelisky, on 10/23/2007, -19/+12if he could run again he'd still get more votes than ron paul...
- vulgrin, on 10/20/2007, -5/+7I agree, and I support Ron Paul. Too many voters are brainless idiots who can't understand logical debate, long term impacts of decisions, or anything longer than a soundbite. We are on the leading edge of the Idiocracy. That's the only way Bush got elected twice.
- SpencerMc, on 10/20/2007, -0/+4The long term impacts of Ron Paul economic policy don't look too great in my mind...
- reed311, on 10/20/2007, -1/+7Not sure why you got dugg down for that, as it's the truth. Ron is polling at about 2% in the same poll. Simple math tells you that 24% is larger than 2%.
- Bdog2g2, on 10/20/2007, -1/+1only for all positive values for x.
- vulgrin, on 10/20/2007, -5/+7I agree, and I support Ron Paul. Too many voters are brainless idiots who can't understand logical debate, long term impacts of decisions, or anything longer than a soundbite. We are on the leading edge of the Idiocracy. That's the only way Bush got elected twice.
- bjkrautk, on 10/20/2007, -2/+5Wow....with those numbers he has, like, a zero percent chance of being re-elected. [/sarcasm]
- chicofaraby, on 10/23/2007, -8/+20It's due to the complete and utter failure of the right wing's agenda. They are basically so corrput and incompetent that America is sick of them.
- skinjob1, on 10/23/2007, -3/+5I just wished they realized that in 2004. They manipulated the religious right and Hispanics so badly last election, you would figure the sheep would eventually wake up.
- LukasSmith, on 10/23/2007, -2/+1Wow you demonize and glorify hispanics and religious right in one sentence. Your a ***** genius.

- metapop, on 10/20/2007, -13/+10hmm... i bet it has something to do with destroying the world trade center and then lying about it.
- iFungus, on 10/20/2007, -3/+5Actually, no.
It has to do with a lot of real things, not conspiracy theories. - WasabiBomb, on 10/20/2007, -6/+6Wait a sec... do you seriously think that Bush could run a huge conspiracy to destroy the WTC (or even just be involved as an underling), and then be so incompetent as to completely fail to take advantage of it?
Hint: Bush just ain't that smart. - laserblazer, on 10/20/2007, -0/+1You'd have to be logical and reasonable to believe that Bush's masters planned and executed the 9/11 attacks. You'd also have to respect the laws of physics.
- iFungus, on 10/20/2007, -3/+5Actually, no.
- jakdracula, on 10/23/2007, -26/+6Still higher then the democraps!
- 30thElement, on 10/19/2007, -0/+12All of the polls showing congress with like 10% approval are very misleading. Congress is a body of over 500 people. Individually, Congress has like 94% reelection rate, which means about 47% approval, on average, at election time. 47%>>24%
- card51short, on 10/19/2007, -1/+2yeah but they all suck
- azprofessional, on 10/23/2007, -2/+7Very clever, did you come up with Democraps all by yourself? Or did some doorstop college degree produce it?
- iFungus, on 10/23/2007, -0/+5Oh, thats very clever. The use of "crap" instead of "crat" very shows a very deep understanding of the state of the Democratic Party in American today.
Shut up Troll.
- jetboyterp, on 10/23/2007, -17/+3Why not check what the Democrat-conrolled Congress approval ratings are...quite lower than for the President...the lowest in history, for that matter.
- skinjob1, on 10/19/2007, -0/+7Congress always has low ratings. What is most interesting is Bush approval rating are the same as Nixon prior to his impeachment.
- Waiting2awake, on 10/19/2007, -0/+5What are the republicans ratings in Congress? Why do you suppose the democrat congress ratings are low? Not living up to getting rid of Bush? Stopping the war? Essentially they are unpopular because they are acting like Republicans...
Wake up please. - azprofessional, on 10/19/2007, -0/+2Indicating that partisanship is no longer the proper issue to be concerned with, but rather the ENTIRE CORRUPT SYSTEM PERHAPS? Nah rightys will never believe one of their own could be part or responsible for furthering a terrible broken system. They're all Jesus as far as you're concerned right?
- kinseyincanada, on 10/19/2007, -0/+2i dont see how that is relevant does the congress sucking make Bush better or something? can everyone just agree that they both are terrible and should all be thrown out?
- gjscds, on 10/19/2007, -17/+3Did anyone read how Congress' approval rating is 11%?

- krnldmp, on 10/19/2007, -1/+2Another term of Bush and USA would wind up dominating nothing.
- Genady, on 10/20/2007, -0/+3I'd rather they amend the Constitution to let Arnie be President than extend Bush another term.
- mercano, on 10/19/2007, -1/+1Or, just do it by Executive Order. Won't be the first time he's tried to trump the Constitution.
- cocreator10, on 10/20/2007, -4/+7 Even I approve of 24% of what he's doing. The point is he LIED to the American people.He has no more credibility.We don't need him to get done what needs to be done,which if it's governing the less the better. Chow.....
- Wartyboskfapped, on 10/20/2007, -0/+2Do you mean ciao?
- reuscel, on 10/20/2007, -1/+23In a related story, 24 percent of those polled couldn't tell their ass from a hole in the ground.
- xXGeechXx, on 10/19/2007, -3/+4It really is depressing to see such a small amount of support yet still see him in power. The worst part is there is not much people can do with the exception of a full blown riot.
- Genady, on 10/20/2007, -0/+5Thankfully the architects of the constitution included the 2nd amendment for JUST such an occasion!
- tdk2fe, on 10/20/2007, -1/+2124 percent is still too high. That means 1 in 4 people approve of this lunatic - now thats madness.

- SolitaireRose, on 10/19/2007, -0/+0AND this poll was taken before he did that. Not that Bush cares what anyone thinks of him. He ran as a 50 + 1 candidate and has governed for the people who listen to right wing talk radio.

- LastVisibleDog, on 10/20/2007, -2/+1So far Bush can not go anywhere near as low as the Democrat-controlled congress
- LastDumbDog, on 10/20/2007, -2/+1Democrat is the majority but I would not call it controlling. And as have mentioned repeatedly, America wants Democrats to do more, not less. As soon as they get a spine, the congress' rating will improve.
And do not mis-underestimate your Glorious Leader. He will go lower.
Stupid dog. Go away.- LastVisibleDog, on 10/20/2007, -1/+1One more time moron - The Democrats hold ever leadership position - thus they control congress (nitwit) and it is a fact congress had higher approval ratings when the Republicans were in control - spin all you want spin-boy, those are the facts.
What you are rambling about is controlling the legislative agenda - it is clear you do not understand how government works - hopefully you will learn before you are old enough to vote.- Insightful, on 10/22/2007, -1/+1Silly dog barking at reality again. How does it feel to be so hated on Digg and in real life. Sad little dog.

- Genady, on 10/19/2007, -1/+2Fortunately for all of us the United States was founded on the concepts of Democracy AND Liberty. It's just kinda biting us in the ass on this one.
- floatingpoints, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1It is. People get confused on this issue.
The majority of people in this country are braindead stupid and too self absorbed to care about anyone but themselves and their family. The elected leadership obviously reflects this. - kertong, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1Current US Democracy is an illusion put in place by the people of power, to placate the powerless by letting them feel that they have control.
- LukasSmith, on 10/19/2007, -7/+4look at congress's approval rating today. Actually look at any presidents approval rating in the second term. Nothing to be proud of. Government approval is a fantasy. Nothing is proven by approval non existance except same old lack of love for the US gov. Not that it is singularly American. Government approval is hardly ever won unless the government happens to own the polls.
- LukasSmith, on 10/19/2007, -11/+2hahah someone dugg down a guy for saying congress approval rating is 11 %. FIgures on digg.com
- nblsavage, on 10/19/2007, -2/+5considering it is at 20% I think digging down disinformation was appropriate.
- LukasSmith, on 10/19/2007, -1/+3well obviously the guy was wrong but hey 20% isnt exactly a giant leap either
- nblsavage, on 10/20/2007, -0/+4Perhaps not but considering how thin the democrat majority is, I think the republicans are not without blame.
- LukasSmith, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1well democrats did promise big things and have failed to deliver. Dont promise what you cant give.
- gen0x, on 10/19/2007, -1/+2FTA: "Public approval for the job that Congress is performing -- 11 percent in the new survey"
- TheInformer, on 10/19/2007, -9/+1Why not change the title of this article to "Democratically controlled Congress has lowest approval ratings ever at 11%"? That's just as valid a title as the one presented by the poster. It's an obvious example of bias. If you're just reporting the news, the title would have read something like "Congress and President both have low approval ratings in newest poll".

- Vicujozobenaxod, on 10/19/2007, -1/+5Is there even a point left to prove about this? Beating a dead horse here...
- Gerz1219, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1Well, I think it's sort of like polling limbo at this point. When Bush hovered at 28% for all those months, I figured that number represented the unpersuadable granite core of the Republican party, and that the numbers couldn't possibly go any lower. So I find it extremely interesting that 4% of my fellow citizens were content with Bush's performance for the first seven years or so, and only recently encountered the final straw. I find myself wondering what that straw could possibly have been.

- buildmorerobots, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1I don't get why any members of Congress or and especially people running for office would still be supporting / voting with him. Seems like political suicide to me.
- gradkiss, on 10/20/2007, -0/+2 I Just know Bush's approval rating is more correctly given at 2 percent +or- 2 percent. "OK?"

- IslandDog, on 10/19/2007, -4/+1Too bad the record low approval ratings for Congress never seem to make the front page.
- WhyMe, on 10/19/2007, -0/+0Agreed, it's even in the article that is posted, but the headline is how Bush is getting low ratings.
"Public approval for the job that Congress is performing -- 11 percent in the new survey -- matches the all-time low that Reuters found last month."- ScornedPatriot, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1I wish Reuters/zogby did polling that mattered, similar to what Gallup does. They poll the congress rating, and then the republicans and democrats separately. Gallup's polls show that in the history of them keeping record the approval of the congress has never been lower than 18%, however it stands at 23% right now, within the margin of error for the presidents rating of 24%. The fact that Zogby and Reuters gets the same percentage in polling for the president, yet 12% apart on the congress says one or both of them in not polling properly. If they were polling properly their percentages would be within the 3.5% margin of error of each other. Gallup shows that the democrats in congress do however have ratings roughly 10% higher than the republicans, which in turn drags the average down.

- skews13, on 10/20/2007, -0/+3i have a feeling that after the next round of elections.the new president,and congress will have a much higher approval rating.i'm also guessing that their disapproval rating,will be somewhere around 24%.
- buddywlkr3, on 10/27/2007, -3/+1One thing that this article failed to mention is that the rating of the Democratic congress is now even lower than that of Bush. The Democratic congress now has an 11% approval rating. Does that mean that they should resign and go home? No, wait, maybe its those demons from Fox News that are tipping the ratings. Or maybe its just that the retards from the Move on crowd didn't know how to vote.
- Ladymongoose, on 10/27/2007, -1/+4Where is this 24% living? Under a rock? I can't believe his ratings are even that high.
- LastVisibleDog, on 10/20/2007, -3/+1Where are the 11% that approve of the Democrat congress? Why is Bush twice as approved as the Democrat-controlled Congress? Why was Congressional approval higher when Republicans were in control?
- LastDumbDog, on 10/20/2007, -1/+2How many times do people have to explain this to you dumb doggie.
Majority of America still hate the Republicans. Now they hate the Democrats too for not standing up more to the this idiotic administration. American's disapproval of the Congress does not mean approval of how your ilks are ruining America and all it stands for.
Democrat is the majority but I would not call it controlling. And as have mentioned repeatedly, America wants Democrats to do more, not less. As soon as they get a spine, the congress' rating will improve.
And do not mis-underestimate your Glorious Leader. He will go lower.
Stupid dog. Go away.- LastVisibleDog, on 10/20/2007, -1/+1Well moron that is just about exactly what I said (other than you Democrat party spin) - learn to read. I said both parties suck (idiot)
The Democrats control congress - that is a fact little spin-boy - the Democrats hold ever leadership position (do you understand what control means?) What you are rambling about is controlling the legislative agenda. BTW: do you really think you can read people's minds? (a common malady among left wing spin-boys)
BTW: it is a fact congressional approval was higher when the Republicans were in control - how would you like to spin that fact?- Insightful, on 10/22/2007, -1/+1There is this thing called election. That thing says people are sick and tired of Republican dogs like you. And there is this thing called poll which ask people things and they said they are tired of Democrats not doing more to get rid of dogs like you. I do not need to spin things. That is what silly dogs like you do.

- danuvian, on 10/27/2007, -1/+2It's absolutely amazing that he hasn't been impeached. What's wrong with this country to allow such a person to be and continue to be president? At least I write to my representatives and senators once in a while to complain about this. Come on, people, write to your representatives/senators TODAY!
- jack420, on 10/19/2007, -0/+0***** i didnt even get to vote im sure its really closer to 15% and those are the ***** that just support him for his views on abortion, Americans are ignorant idiots, we need that ***** and administration to stop arresting medical cannabis patients. Revolution in 2008 if Bush so much as thinks of staying in power.
- spavacer, on 10/27/2007, -0/+3While Congress has reached a new high of 11%

- laserblazer, on 10/20/2007, -0/+1The lowest common disgrace.
- LastVisibleDog, on 10/27/2007, -4/+2Oh no - if Bush's approval keeps dropping it might be as low as the Democrat congress - currently Bush's approval rating is over twice that of the Democrat-controlled congress. The only thing smaller than Bush supporters is Democrat-controlled congress supporters (which are over half as small, the 11%-ers). Wake up people - this is not a Republican versus Democrat issue - currently both parties suck
- LastDumbDog, on 10/20/2007, -1/+3Your rubber stamping Republican party sucks. People are mad at Democrats because they are only marginally better and are not doing enough to overturn your party's ruinous ways. When people wake up, you will have to go back to the cave where you came from.
Sorry stupid dog.- LastVisibleDog, on 10/21/2007, -2/+1I see you are stupid and you can't read - lets review my last statement (nitwit): "Wake up people - this is not a Republican versus Democrat issue - currently both parties suck" - why do you spend so much effort toward spinning for the Democrat Party - why do you parrot without thinking for yourself and doing a little research? How can you make such a brain-dead spin-boy comment when in the comment you are responding to I state "both parties suck" Are you really that stupid and manipulated ?
Are you capable of free thinking or original thought (you id is a very good example)- Insightful, on 10/23/2007, -2/+2Go away dog. People do not like you on Digg or anywhere else - maybe that is why you are spending time on Digg? People have explained for the nth time but you will not listen or read. People hate Republicans and the likes of you for who you are, what you do, and what you represent. People hate Democrats for not doing more to stop you. No need for making things up - this is what America is saying - why are you trying to say reality has a liberal bias. Go away stupid dog.
- LastVisibleDog, on 10/23/2007, -2/+1Stupid, reactionary, and anti-free-speech - you do have a lot of problems.
HINT: If you could actually read and not just parrot - you will find I clearly state: BOTH PARTIES CURRENTLY SUCK, Unlike you, I am not a party butt-buddy parrot.
Stupid, dishonest, and a parrot is no way to go through life. Think for yourself - don't let your party handlers ram their hand up your arse and move your lips.

- chase001, on 10/20/2007, -1/+2And why is Congress's approval rating so low? It wouldn't be because they don't have enough votes to overturn a veto and the Republicans in Congress still won't stand up to Dubya would it?
- LastVisibleDog, on 10/20/2007, -1/+2And on what do you base that brain-fart? Do you think you can read minds? Run along little spin-boy.

- hittnrun, on 10/21/2007, -0/+1These polls mean nothing anymore. The people doing them are manipulating them. The people responding are clueless. The rest of the media is not into reporting news anymore. They are into seeing how stupid the American Sheeple are and what they can manipulate them into believing. "Honest reporters" is now an oxymoron. Thank Dan Rueters, errrrrr Rather.

It basically comes down the protestant churches brainwashing people to vote for Bush and the republicans because of abortion and gays. Bush is no Christian - opsidian, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1Still a hell of a lot higher then the congress approval rating

The man must have principles if it consistently pisses off the same people time after time.
That's why I voted for him. Consistency!
I just wish I had the power he has over his detractors.
He has a subset of the population whipped into a frenzy of hatred.
And have you noticed that the subset that is all worked up contribute nothing to the conversation but apathy, fear and doubt. Blathering...Blind hatred!
I really feel pity for the subset.....
