A CNN poll released Wednesday shows that George W. Bush is not only more popular than President Obama, a majority of Americans now view the former president in a positive light. A full 52% see Bush favorably, compared to just 43% who do not. Only 49% of Americans have a favorable opinion of Obama. The same number, 49%, do not.

Obama's job approval numbers also took a serious dive in the CNN poll. Just last month, the president sat at a 48% approval rating, with just 47% disapproving. Not great, but he was at least above water. Today Obama is upside down a full 7 points, with just 45% approving of his job and a clear majority of 52% disapproving.

That's an 8 point drop.

On the specifics of his job, other than race relations, Obama is upside down, sometimes by huge margins, in every category: economy 46-53;  ISIS 32-63;  race relations 50-47;  Climate Change 41-49;  illegal immigration 36-60;   government surveillance 29-67;  health care 44-54; foreign affairs 43-55;  terrorism 45-51.

Considering it's a CNN poll, we can be assured it worse than the elusive numbers they produced.
Sorry CNN, no matter how hard you try, you can't reanimate the Dim party, they are dead, give it up.
Or was this your attempt at making Jeb look appealing, in an effort to get TEA to sit out the election?

Point is, give up CNN, the Marxist movement is officially dead, you'll need a whole other generation to brainwash.

Couldn't agree more. Yes, I do long for the George Bush Dick Cheney's days. Be a fool not to.

But the cold hard facts are Bush/Rove/Boehner/Official GOP and Socialist Democrats/Reid/Pelosi/Obama comprise a mismanagement team that has been with us too long and needs to be refreshed with new blood and a new outlook.  This is in spite of how skillfully they pass the blame back and forth, how skillfully they buffalo the voting public.

What, start a 30 year war knowing full well the left has become increasingly aggressive, communistic, sadistic, and Islamic? You are right there in Washington. You're supposed to know this stuff and take it into account, not just plow ahead and hell with the consequences.

I know that sounds like an armchair quarterback, and I'm sorry about that. But those guys could have listened to the same CNN commenters I heard back in the late 80's when GHW Bush forces was in the process of executing Desert Storm.  One said, "This occupation...and make no mistake about it, this is an occupation,....is going to last generations, and the American public had better be prepared for that." (They cut off  his mike and we heard no more from him. But it was too late, he had already said it.)

Great statesmen manage both parties. It is not a job for the average intellect. Obama came as no surprise to the Russians, Egyptians, Arabs, or Jews.  They knew he was on the way, back when Clinton was around, rumor tells. 

It's a rather useless poll other than the fact that no other polling-agency has posed that question in a while.  It may be a fishing-expedition to discern some religious quotient in the numbers, since CNN has a problem believing that blacks can be born-again Evangelical Christians as proportionately as whites.

It irks me that our citizens are so fickle.

"W" hasn't changed anything since he left office.  He is still the same man with the same track record.

It is our foolish citizens who have selective memories!  They are like little children with no ability to think critically and retain factual information.   

It is more about their feelings about Obama than their feelings about "W".

History is being made!  History is going to show that President GW Bush was right more often than he was wrong.  Unfortunately, Bush didn't pay much attention to polls or public opinion and many times, not even the base of his own party...and he just went and did what he believed was the right thing to do.  Such people are not generally appreciated for what they do accomplish, while their mistakes are often amplified by those who can't stand their arrogant stye!

The Axis of Evil speach nail it and the "Bush Doctrine" worked far better than the current Ass-Clown's policy of appeasing our enemies and abandoning our friends.  I would guess that many of the nations of the world that didn't care for "the cowboy" George Bush, wish he were still President, now they are faced with the problems that come from the vacume of no Leadership at all!

At this point, I'm certainly not going to misunderestimate George Bush. When he and Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were putting the screws to Saddam Hussein and state sponsored terrorism, I was working a job in the Rocky Mt. range and couldn't have told you the difference between a Muslim and a Hindu. What's more, didn't really care. Oh boy, was I ever in for a rude awakening.

In fact, that's what some used to say, "America, wake up!"  After exhausting all other alternatives, I finally took the advice. 

Obama couldn't care less about his party. Or the American people. Or anyone other than himself.

Bush was thrown into a position. He did what he thought was best. Obama is just a moron and could fuck up a ham sandwich.

You're being charitable.

Bush had (has) enormous respect for this country, our heritage and the office of the POTUS.  His heart was always in the right place and he meant well. He was talked into changing his position on "nation building" and this was his big foreign policy mistake! After 9/11, we were perhaps as united as we ever have been.   He lost the Democrats and the media (one in the same) and then the support of the country. True, the Democrats politicized the war even before things began to go badly.  They were bound to do this and that's why Gulf War 1, worked as well as it did.  Stormin Norman Swartzkoft got in and out and it was game over!

Bush is genuinely a good decent man, who all too often allowed his compassion to dictate his actions!  He was easily pursuaded into doing what he 'felt' was morally justified, even if it was against the policy (thoughts) decisions that he and his team had previously determined to be in our country's best interests.  Such shifts in policy often led to problems with his 'conservative base'.  His deal making with Ted Kennedy, to provide a new unfunded Federal Program (expansion of Medicare to cover prescription drugs) was a very compassionat thing to do, but led to the fiscal insolvency of the Medicare Progam...strike 1... His decison to change his mind and follow Colin Powell's "Pottery Barn" advice and try nation building, rather than simply defeating our enemies, was an enormous mistake.  When "mission acomplished" was the mission to defeat Saddam Hussain...He should have left only enough troops to mop up the operation, not try to fix the unfixable...strike 2;  George Bush allowed his personal feeling about illegal immigrants, to take a position that was both contrary to the opinions of his conservative base and even the rule of law...strike 3!  He was out..and I was glad to see him leave office!

Having said all this, I still have a great deal of admiration and respect for both his Presidency and for GW Bush, as a man.   He accomplished a lot and he did his best to do what he felt was right for the American people.  His best just didn't measure up to what I would like to see for our President. However, Bush was and still is a great American and in many ways; a Patriot!  He just was kinda flawed in some very visible ways, but I believe he did the best job for us, that he was capable of doing.

The Presidency has  a way of showing all the warts that any person in that position might have.  Any President's failings have enormous unintended consequences on this country and the world.  Although he struck out after eight years.  He had an overall pretty good batting average, I think. 

People are begining to see that Predient Bush played by the rules, while Obama ignores the rules and cheats!  Americans love their country and are begining to wake up to what Obama's idea of CHANGE means and it has nothing to do with love of country, God or patriotsm!  These things matter!

By the time GW Bush left office; he was tired of this thankless job and it began to show.


I'd kind of like to have a beer with this guy...but I think we need a much better grounded conservative for a President.  Like his father before him, GW Bush had trouble with both "the vision thing" and "staying the course".

Thanks..it was from the heart.  I care about George and though I had my differences with him on several issues, I rank him as a "good" President.  Ronald Reagan was an "excellant" President..and after such a bad President (Barak Hussain) we need another excellant one; just good will not be good enough, I'm afraid! As a matter of fact, this is my problem with some who can not differentiate between the individuals who are clearly not on our side and some of our candidates who might make a good President and accomplish  many of the things we have on our agenda.  They can not all be lumped together as a herd of RINO's.  Our party has such a hard time accepting the difference of opinions of some of our Leaders, while the Democrats seem to embrace all of their's no matter how bad they might be.

I am reminded of Reagan's eleventh commandment and realize that most of these men (and women) are developing their positions, just as many posters here on this forum seem to be.  Reagan had thee benefit of age, along with his attributes...let's not hild these guy's youth and inexperience against them.  They are our future and without them who will the Leaders of our future be?

My whole thing about the poll was Hussein won and ran on Bush fatigue, and the libs HATE Bush.  Now that he's shown to be more popular than Hussein, I'm relishing them going crazy and taking the Dem party down even further.  I really am not a Bush fan, but I enjoy ramming him down the libs throat.

Made my day, especially after seeing a ticker at the bottom of my news screen on tv this morning of the supposedly most recent poll on immigration 52% of rep favor and 80% dem favor.  I don't believe in polls because they are so misrepresented most of the time.  I declined the temptation to pitch my tv outta' back door.
