The hatred in ur country is very deep and huge. Many of u have to learn what respect means even though one did not agree with the opposite opinion.

The Americans these polsters poll seem to flip-flop every month.
And really, are they experts in anything? What does the average American know about running an economy?

Diddly squat! All the average American knows, is that Gas prices are higher, Americans are dying in Iraq, and congress is spending Billions on a country most of them would not even know existed or where it was on the map, until the nightly news plastered it all over the TV... EVERY DAY FOR THE LAST 10 years... and I bet you a pay check there are still a lot of Americans who couldn't tell you what Contenant Iraq is even on!

Ok my point.... polls and American opinion are BS - it changes with their pocket book and what happens to be on TV that night.

ok that's my cynical 2 cents.

If you look at polls and election results there is a clear indication that to win an election in America, one requires an approval rating over 50% to do so - less than 50% and candidates lose - or so it's been for the last 60 years.

However my response was to Nuke - he called Iraq a great success - obviously there is a difference in the versions of English we speak since as I understand the word it's anything but a success - I was merely pointing out that when asked their opinion on the matter the majority of Americans opinion is that would differ from that of Nuke.

Whats really funny is the lack of historical perspective displayed by otherwise knowledgeable people.

Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown

1980

If you think a President, any President, is going to suddenly reverse nearly three decades of job losses to overseas you really don't understand the "world economy", "free trade", "most favored nation status" and a few other things.

Get used to it; it's not over yet by a long shot.

Well the majority of Americans appear to disagree....

• Fifty-six percent of Americans disapprove of the way Bush is handling the economy and 41% approve. That is the highest disapproval number and lowest approval number of the Bush presidency.

• Fifty-five percent of Americans disapprove of the way Bush is handling the situation in Iraq, and 42% approve. Again, the approval number is the lowest and the disapproval number is the highest of any survey Gallup has taken on the question, dating back to late October 2002. On foreign affairs overall, Bush gets 42% approval and 53% disapproval — again, a record low on approval and a record high on disapproval.

Think your boy can go into the high 30's for approval ratings? I'm thinking of a about a 38 or lower by Nov - he's not going to get voted out of office he's going to be laughed out of office.

YEA SO! 68% of Americans Polled cant find Iraq on a map, gotta start polling peps with a brain.

I could go take a poll that would prove Germany bombed Pearl Harbour on Dec 7th.

Good thing these folks don't vote:D
