Into the Blue
A new Washington Post poll begins to plumb the depths to which GW Bush has fallen. Almost half of the electorate strongly disapprove of his presidency. That's not just "disapprove," that's 47% strongly disapprove. Only 1/5 of those surveyed strongly approve, less than half the percentage of those utterly disgusted.
Another poll citied in this article says that 82% of those who voted for John Kerry in 2004 plan to vote for a Democrat in the 2006 elections, but only 64% of those who voted for Bush plan to vote Republican.
Why? A former Bush voter is quoted: "My husband and I think he lied to us, and he won't admit he's lied to us" about starting the war in Iraq. Another Republican: She recounted a conversation with neighbors who support Bush because of "moral issues." "I said, 'While he's not killing babies, he's killing you' " with high gasoline prices, a soaring deficit and other problems, Bruce said. "He is going to bankrupt us all."
UPDATE: a Survey USA poll puts Bush's overall disapproval at 61%, with a positive job approval rating in just four states. So here are the Red States: Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Nebraska.
