New poll numbers show bad news for president Bush.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - A new poll suggests that George W. Bush is the most
unpopular president in modern American history.

A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Thursday indicates that
71 percent of the American public disapprove of how Bush his handling his
job as president.

"No president has ever had a higher disapproval rating in any CNN or Gallup
poll; in fact, this is the first time that any president's disapproval
rating has cracked the 70 percent mark," said CNN Polling Director Keating
Holland.

"Bush's approval rating, which stands at 28 percent in our new poll, remains
better than the all-time lows set by Harry Truman and Richard Nixon (22
percent and 24 percent, respectively) but even those two presidents never
got a disapproval rating in the 70s," Holland added. "The previous all-time
record in CNN or Gallup polling was set by Truman, 66 percent disapproval in
January 1952."

Good riddance asshole. I hope his successor has the brains to begin
to wind down our disastrous occupation of Iraq. Juan McCain certainly
won't, and Battleax and Toots are both giving evasive plans to make
a half-assed withdrawal but with lots of wiggle room for them to use to
weasel out of their promises.
