Deepening unhappiness with President George W. Bush and the U.S. Congress soured the mood of Americans and sent Bush's approval rating to another record low this month, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

The Reuters/Zogby Index, which measures the mood of the country, also fell from 98.8 to 96 -- the second consecutive month it has dropped. The number of Americans who believe the country is on the wrong track jumped four points to 66 percent.

It could be 0 approval rating but he's still there, unfortunately!

Where the hell are they polling??
You can say anything you want with stats- his approval rating is far lower than that. If they think we're buying even 24% - the neo cons haven't even approved, but have supported anyways (save face?- idiots). glad to hear them say their looking for a new candidate- at least this one won't be hiding behind Double Speak. I prefer my enemy have the balls to verbalize his Prejudices- not try to win by the smoke & mirrors of politics - your working toward the Rapture I want to know!

IF ALL OF THE AMERICAN CITIZENS KNEW ABOUT THIS
HIS APPROVAL RATING WOULD BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS OR AT ZERO OR EVEN BELOW ZERO -- ONCE HIS FULL-BLOODED LOYALISTS REALLY UNDERSTOOD JUST WHAT IT WAS THAT HE HAS DONE - CRIMINALLY.

You've got to wonder - seriously - what threat is being held over the heads of anyone and everyone who may oppose the current administration...

The same threats that caused Gore to quietly walk away from an election that was clearly stolen from him?

What other explanation can there possibly be for, not only complete inaction on the part of the Democrats we the people voted into office, but for what amounts to outright support in most cases for the crimes being committed against us by Bushco, Inc.?!?

Lowest approval ratings since Nixon and the Dems are still too cowardly to oppose him and the Cons are still to oowardly to break ranks with him. This, is the Twilight Zone.

The 11% who approve of the job Congress is doing are the Millionaires and Libertarians who are pleased with Congress every day that they aren't raising taxes.

MissingAmerica:

What we have to do is organize and get ONE
MILLION people in front of the White House or
even hundreds of thousands of people in front
of the White House. And then on the same day,
in every city in this country thousands of
people DEMANDING THAT BUSH, CHENEY AND RICE
BE REMOVED. THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL THE CONGRESS
DO SOMETHING. THIS MORON/WAR CRIMINAL IS 24%
IN THE POLLS - AND THE DEMOCRATS DO NOTHING TO
REMOVE THIS SOB. WE ARE THE REAL "DECIDERS"
AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE LOOKING THE OTHER

Thistle: we need to organize, but not in the streets...on Wall Street.

EVERY small investor, from individual traders to the 401K contributors,
SELL, SELL, SELL, all of your US holdings.
Drive the value of US stocks DOWN.
BUY international/Chinese equities.
Buy ETF's that short US markets.

You can win and be rich, and tell your foucktard redneck Republican neighbor to go make a cardboard sign begging for food money.

Someone should try to clone chimpy and the rest of his cabal, cheney, gonzales, rove.
Have them cloned as retarded stumblebums and send them across the country, hitchhiking, wearing cheap, crumpled suits with a large yellow patch with black lettering sewn to the back of the jacket that says "KICK ME!"

Let everyone and anyone kick the clones out of sheer frustration of having to put up with the real slime balls for 7, 8 odd nightmare years.

Exciting headline, but not true... and not corrected after almost 24 hours.

It was 29 percent.

An example of Huffpo's indifference toward accuracy--despite (correctly) crusading against Fox News for exactly that.

Dearest PJQ,

Are you just plain stupid? Or is it your conservative orneryness? Or do you have a sever reading comprehension problem? In any case, the article clearly states:

"Bush's job approval rating fell to 24 percent from last month's record low for a Zogby poll of 29 percent."

Twenty four percent or, if you will, 24%

Not the fallacious number you spout. Why do you insist on lying? Why do you insist on misrepresenting the truth? Do you think it does you or your "cause" any good to be know as a blatant prevaricator? Do you like being known as a liar?

yeah, but the democratically controlled congress (both houses) have lower opinion numbers.

suffice it to say, our so-called leaders on both sides of the aisle pretty much suck.

And that's no talking point, that's just the plain and simple opinion of one ScorchedEarth.

Dearest scroched earth,

The Democratically controlled congress has lower approval poll numbers than bush because they are too cowardly to confront and stop his lawlessness. You're right. They're cowards. That's why they're at only 11% - because they don't have the guts to take down the georgie boy and the Big dick.

It was a good idea for LaFeminazi to remind us, via the excerpt from the Declaration of Independance, as to just what's wrong with the Dummycrats' captiulation on violating citizens' rights, with respect to FISA, which Ammoboy seems to embrace so easily. Ammoboy believes that his leaders are good people and have our interests at heart.

Rush Limpbowels starts off with, "Folks, I wouldn't be surprised if..." and by the time the third dittohead has called in, the surprise is gone and Rush and his minions have nonfact facts to jawbone. Don't argue with Dittoheads; read Goodnight Moon to them.

BERLIN, Germany (AP) -- The 13-nation euro jumped to a new record on Thursday against the U.S. dollar, breaking through the $1.43 mark after Washington reported a spike in jobless claims -- the latest in a spate of bad economic news from the United States.
art.euro.afp.gi.jpg

The euro was trading at $1.43 for the first time since the common European currency was introduced.

The euro rose to $1.4310 after the U.S. Labor Department reported that applications for jobless benefits hit 337,000 last week -- up 28,000 from the week before and the biggest one-week surge since claims jumped 42,000 in the week of February 10.

The euro settled back slightly to $1.4283 -- still up almost a U.S. cent from the $1.4186 it bought in late New York trading on Wednesday, and higher than its previous record of $1.4282 set October 1.

The jobless increase was more than four times the gain of 6,000 that economists had been expecting and was taken as a possible sign that the labor market is starting to weaken under the impact of a severe downturn in housing and the credit crisis that jolted financial markets i
