Bush Approval Rating Falls to 28%, Lowest Level So Far, in Harris Poll

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL ONLINE
April 26, 2007

President Bush's approval rating slipped to new lows in the most recent Harris Interactive survey, but he's not alone: For the first time since the series began, all of the political figures and institutions included in the survey have negative performance ratings.

Of the 1,001 American adults polled online April 20-23, only 28% had a positive view of Mr. Bush's job performance, down from 32% in February and from a high of 88% in the aftermath of the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The current rating is his weakest showing since his inauguration.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice garnered the approval of 45% of those surveyed, down from 46% in February, and approval of Defense Secretary Robert Gates slid to 29% in the latest poll, from 32% in February.

Among other individuals included in the poll, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) saw her approval rating fall to 30% in April from 38% in February, shortly after her swearing-in as the first female House speaker. Approval for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) slipped to 22%, from 23% in February but up from 19% a year ago.

Those polled gave Congress an approval rating of 27%, with the Democrats as a group pulling in 35% approval, compared with 22% for Republicans.

When asked which two issues the government should address first, 30% of poll respondents said the war and 13% said Iraq. Domestic concerns rounded out the top spots, with 15% of those polled mentioning health care and 10% pointing to the economy.

Here are full results of the poll:

Dear President Bush

You are fired.

We demand a refund.

Believe it or not, there are thousands if not millions of Americans who would be glad to vote for Bush again, if they could. Their main objective is to solely kill A-rabs (revenge for 911)

Rev, are you from PCF ? Laughing

You'll have to guess who i am... ha ha

Evangelicals in the US believe there is a Biblical basis for opposing the Middle East.

Evangelical Christians are believed to represent the single largest religious group in the U.S, and as their numbers have grown (281 million), there are signs of increasing activism in U.S. foreign policy.

Evangelicals generally view the Middle East through a biblical prism and thus are staunch supporters of Israel.

What is the view of evangelicals toward Muslims?

"Surveys taken by the Pew Forum (PDF) show that of all Americans, evangelicals have the most negative views of Islam and Muslims. "

That would certainly explain this meeting:

What better way for the Republican Party to rally the far religious right in this country than to attack Iran. I wonder how Christians would feel about thousands of innocent Iranians dying from radiation poisoning due to our boming of their nuclear facilities?

I don't see anywhere that Milliions would votebush cause they want to kill "A-rabs" as you say.

I also don't see anywhere in your link that evengelicals want to "kill A-rabs". Care to quote the relevant text? Laughing

There is more evidence that you and Dookie want to kill right wingers than what you are suggesting here.... Laughing

281 million Evangelical Christians in the U.S.? Wrong.

Maybe i got it wrong (rushed the google search result). I'll find the correct number and post it. Thanks for correcting me.

However, i've found world total :

"The World Evangelical Alliance is "a network of churches in 127 nations that have each formed an evangelical alliance and over 100 international organizations joining together to give a worldwide identity, voice and platform to more than 420 million evangelical Christians" "

( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelicalism )

Edit: ( There are 60 million Evangelical Christians in the U.S )

Another source says 50 to 80 million.

And from your link zippy:

The end of Sudan's north-south civil war. U.S. efforts to end Africa's longest civil war were a response in part to steady campaigning by evangelicals concerned about reports the government in Khartoum was imposing slavery and Islam on the predominantly Christian south. The 2005 peace deal, brokered by former U.S. senator John Danforth, an ordained Episcopalian minister, still holds, although a separate civil conflict in Darfur rages on. Evangelicals are among a number of groups pressing for international action to end the bloodshed in Darfur.
AIDS/humanitarianism. During Bush's time in office, U.S. aid to Africa has risen 67 percent, including $15 billion committed over five years for programs to fight HIV and AIDS. The policy has faced criticism from some health advocates who say its emphasis on abstinence at the expense of efforts such as condom distribution has slowed the response to fighting the disease. Delegates from Africa, speaking at an international AIDS conference in Toronto in August 2006, said the administration's strategy has a mixed record so far.
The International Religious Freedom Act of 1998. Experts say evangelicals played a key role in the effort to pass legislation making freedom of religion and conscience a top objective of U.S. foreign policy. Under the law, the U.S. State Department set up an agency to advise the government on how countries perform on religious freedom. Countries given poor grades could face economic sanctions and other punitive measures.
The North Korea Human Rights Act of 2004 (PDF). This act required Bush to appoint a special envoy for human rights in North Korea and says human rights in the country should be a "key element in future negotiations between the United States, North Korea, and other concerned parties in Northeast Asia."
The Trafficking Victims Protection Act (PDF). Passed in 2000, the act aims to deter trafficking, punish traffickers, and protect and rehabilitate victims. New legislation signed by President Bush in January 2006 will provide an estimated $360 million over the next two years to fight human trafficking and offer victim protection.

This is so sophomoric. YOu bashed evengelicals and I demonstrated how "evil they really were". You then quote the Good Reverend out of context as if he was the one who said all that.

You have failed in all aspects of this thread.
