America In The Bush Years

Bush

The only good thing is that there is light at the end of the tunnel (here) but what a tunnel.

Only 25 percent of those surveyed say things in the U.S. are going in the right direction, according to an AP-Ipsos poll this month. That is about the lowest level of satisfaction detected since the survey started in December 2003.

Rarely have longer-running polls found such a rate since the even gloomier days of 1992 ahead of the first
President Bush’s re-election loss to Democrat
Bill Clinton.

The current glumness is widely blamed on public discontent with the war in
Iraq and with President Bush. It is striking for how widespread the mood is among different groups of people.

Women and minorities are less content than men and whites, which has been true for years. But all four groups are at or near record lows for the AP-Ipsos poll, and at unusually low levels for older surveys, as well.

    I’m surprised the moronic coward has such high numbers.
