They don't mean anything more than they meant when his ratings were high.

No re-election. And fickle public opinion changes quickly.

President George W. Bush, Vice President Richard B. Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have committed violations and subversions of the Constitution of the United States of America in an attempt to carry out with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes and deprivations of the civil rights of the people of the United States and other nations, by assuming powers of an imperial executive unaccountable to law and usurping powers of the Congress, the Judiciary and those reserved to the people of the United States, by the following acts:

Did you see me on here, a couple months ago, when Bush's approval ratings were higher - and in fact, temporarily rising - saying "Bush's approval ratings rising!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"?

No. You did not. And you know why? Because they mean very little.

Maybe so.........but it gives me hope for our country to see more and more people finally realizing that Bush is bad news. It's just too bad it had to take an unnecessary war, 2400+ dead American soldiers, multiple scandals, astronomical gas prices, a couple of badly handled natural disasters, innumerable transgressions against the Constitution, and five loooooooong years for the rest of the country to figure out what 51% of us knew back in 2000: Dubya is a lying sack of shit.

2008 can't come fast enough. Impeach NOW!!!
Trust not in the princes of this earth, for they will frig thee up and so shalt their governments, even unto the end of the world.

Is it 2008 yet?

It's not about approval ratings...............

Diebold makes voting machines that are used in 37 states, but they provide no verifiable record and lack even basic protection against fraud.

There never was an approval rating!

More sour grapes from the losers.

You know, there's always an excuse by the losers. I referee basketball tournaments, and it's SO amusing when I hear teams blame their losses on "bad refereeing" - especially when they lose by 30 points or more. Crybabies.

Maybe you should go complain to the score keeper.

Jefferson, all I'm waiting for you to say is "God wills it!" for the last thing to be checked off the stereotype-meter. :P

*waits for response of, "blah blah blah, bush-hater blah blah ultra-liberal blah blah blah"*

Polls matter because its the opinion of the people, and the people are supposed to be the sovereigns with the power, not just the government. Which by all means justifies a democratic ousting of the president, whether or not you agree, because you're the minority now bud.

Polls matter because there are people who are in the business of conducting polls, and THEY MAKE MONEY.

That is all.
