Maybe you should really be talking about how the air in AIR AMERICA is slowly leaking. They lost .4% share of the market in NYC -- a bastion of liberalism. While WABC (which hosts Rush and Sean) made a .5% increase in listeners.

You had such big hopes for them...now...it is disappearing...into thin air...LOL.

Bush's Net Job Approval Tumbles in State Polls

President Bush's net job approval fell to minus 21 in October, down from minus 16 in September, according to 50 separate but concurrent SurveyUSA statewide polls conducted 10/14-16. The President had a positive net job approval rating in just 7 states (UT, ID, WY, AK, NB, OK and ND), and a negative rating in 41 states --- including 21 "red" states he won in 2004.

When all of the state polls are combined and proportionately averaged, 59 percent of Americans disapprove of the job Bush is doing, while 38 percent approve. SurveyUSA reports that Bush's net job approval fell by double digits in TX, SC, MS, TN, MI, IL and NC.

Public Resoundingly Rejects Bush and His Policies



Things have not been going so well for George W. Bush lately. For example, every poll of the general public in October has his approval rating under 40 percent. Of all these polls, the latest Pew Research poll has the most useful data for understanding why Bush and the GOP have entered such perilous political territory. These data show that the public has, pretty much across the board, come to resoundingly negative judgements on Bush’s policies, decisions and approaches to governing. These judgements leave the Bush administration and GOP with little to no political capital to spend and no obvious way of recouping that capital absent sudden–and improbable--U-turns on the economy, Iraq, etc.

Consider these data from the Pew poll:

1. A plurality (41-26) now believes Bush will, in the long run, be an unsuccessful, rather than successful, president.

2. A plurality (41-21) now believes Bush has made “politics and the way government works in Washington” worse, not better.
