By Nadine Elsibai Jan. 22 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush's approval ratings are now the lowest for any president the day before a State of the Union speech since Richard Nixon in 1974, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll. Sixty-five percent of those surveyed said they disapprove of how Bush is handling his job as president while 33 percent approve. The rating matches Bush's career low in a May 2006 poll. Seventy-one percent of Americans said the country is on the wrong track, up from 46 percent in an April 2003 poll, the month after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. A majority of those polled this month don't approve of how Bush is handling the Iraq war, terrorism or the economy. Bush, who addresses the nation before a joint session of Congress tomorrow, will face many members of his own party who blame him for Republicans' losing majority control of the House and Senate in the November 2006 midterm elections. White House spokesman Tony Snow said Bush's State of the Union speech will focus on issues including the Iraq war, energy independence, health-care, immigration and education. Bush also received career-low approval ratings in a new CNN poll. Sixty-three percent of those surveyed said they disapprove of how Bush has handled his presidency and 34 percent said they approve. Sixty percent disapproved and 38 percent approved of Bush's performance in a March 2006 CNN poll. CBS, NBC Polls Bush reached an all-time low 28 percent approval rating in a CBS poll released today. Sixty-six percent of those surveyed in the CBS poll said they opposed Bush's sending 20,000 additional troops to Iraq, and 75 percent said the war there is going badly. Fifty percent said Congress shouldn't provide money for the 20,000 additional troops. The CBS poll surveyed 1,168 adults nationwide by telephone from Jan. 18 to 21. The poll has a sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points. Almost two-thirds of people in the U.S. don't support a troop increase in Iraq if Congress passes a resolution opposing it, and don't believe the war can succeed, according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Investigators questioned 1,007 adults from Jan. 17 to Jan. 20, and the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. Giuliani, Clinton Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani led among Republicans and New York Senator Hillary Clinton paced Democrats in a CNN poll on potential 2008 presidential candidates. Giuliani received support from 32 percent of Republicans surveyed; Arizona Senator John McCain followed with 26 percent; and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was third at 9 percent. Giuliani and McCain have both formed presidential exploratory committees. Gingrich has yet to say whether he will seek the party's nomination for president. Support for Clinton dropped to 34 percent from 37 percent a month earlier, the poll found. Illinois Senator Barack Obama followed with 18 percent, up 3 percentage points from a December 2006 poll. Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards was third at 15 percent. Clinton, Obama and Edwards have each filed papers allowing them to raise and spend money through a presidential exploratory committee. Of the 1,008 adults in the CNN poll, 365 were asked about the Republican nomination and 467 were asked about the Democratic candidates. The margin of error for Republicans was plus or minus 5 percentage points, and plus or minus 4.5 percentage points for Democrats. The Washington Post-ABC News telephone poll of 1,000 adults nationwide was conducted Jan. 16-19. Opinion Research Corporation conducted the CNN telephone poll of 1,008 Americans Jan. 19-21. Both surveys had a 3 percentage point margin of error overall. quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20670001&refer=&sid=a.aveoiqdgBU |

Impeachment isn't an issue of popularity, rather of law. On what grounds could Bush be inpeached?

wtf: on the grounds that he took us to war for nothing... So did a lot of the stiff suits inside the beltway, many of which are still in office. Bush wasn't the only factor here. None of them could wait to expand government in some way shape or form using 09-11. wtf: I say we impeach his ass, take him to court for his behavior then perform an iraqi style execution on him, I'm not being to harsh am I? LMAO Lmao, you think!  I don't know. I think we ought to impeach all of the bastards, then sodomize the using shark sticks. After that we should hang them by their testicle hairs(Yes, even Barbra Boxer) over Baghdad and let the natives have their day with them. |

We made an example of Clintoon, what did that get us? We'd have to throw out more than Dubya. And it has to be at the Ballot Box.
The 2006 election could be a small step. It's clear America wants change.
Isn't it funny that since the Demo's took Congress, the anti war edge in the mainstream media has lost it's luster?

Clintoon was impeached. The Senate didn't vote to convict and remove, but Clintoon was impeached.
You implication that it wasn't much of an example is well taken however. There was some political embarsssment, the impeachment itself was a black mark. But other than that, Clintoon suffered no other ill effects. I think the same scenario would play out with a hypothetical Bush impeachment. You nail Bush, and several others politicos, then you might get some attention.

I wouldn't cry if Bush were tossed right out of the White House on his bare fanny in disgrace.
I still maintain it wouldn't change anything to inpeach just Bush. Bush is only a small part of the problem. Just Bush would be easily explained away as simply more partisanship. The real reason behind our motives for Bush impeachment would be lost in the same bi-polar politics we saw with Clintoon.
If we sent 10 or 20 politicos of both parties to find a real job, we might get some attention.

Yes, we can. If a member of Congress get's caught, they can be impeached, tried, and removed from office is found guilty. The easiest way to get rid of the parasite is via the Ballot Box.
Me, in politics? Lol, yeah - uh huh. My political career would last as long as I don't make statements like these people who victimize themselves over 09-11 are self indulging in hollow symbolism. Or calling Bush supporters "Republican Mouthsluts". Or, by saying I think Bubba Clintoon is a rapist. The list is endless. There are examples of all I cited in this forum. Thank God Cliintoonite took care of my worst behavior. I'd best stay away from entering the rat race. I make a better pundit.

At this point, I think the ballot box is our best option. How to get people off the Republican or Democrat teat is a challenge, but sooner or later people will get tired of all this government we have to deal with.
Right now people don't like honesty. They'd rather take cover under poltical correctness.
