Hate Bush? FAUX News Won't Tell

[Doug]

On the October 17 edition of Fox News' Your World, host Neil Cavuto, in a discussion with WorldNetDaily columnist and author David Limbaugh about President Bush's "likability," falsely claimed that he "polls highly in that regard."

...Cavuto stated: "Yeah, but David ... I think most Americans, when they're polled on the likability of this president, he polls highly in that regard. It's just on the issues like the war and concerns about the economy ... that's what gets it -- it's not his personality."

...Recent surveys demonstrate that more people have negative feelings about Bush, and that more people -- over 50 percent in major October polls -- give Bush an unfavorable rating. For example, a September 30-October 2 NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, showed that a plurality -- 49 percent of respondents -- answered that they held "somewhat negative" or "very negative" feelings toward Bush, while 40 percent felt "very positive" or "somewhat positive." An October 10-11 Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll found that 54 percent of respondents gave Bush an "unfavorable" rating, while 43 percent had a "favorable" opinion of him. An October 6-8 Gallup poll (subscription required) showed a 55-percent "unfavorable" rating for Bush, while 42 percent of respondents gave him a "favorable" rating. Additionally, an October 5-8 CBS News/New York Times poll showed Bush with a rating of 52 percent "not favorable" and 34 percent "favorable."

Personally, I feel that he is a jerk. Everytime I watch one of his press conferences he is always making fun of the way the reporters look.

He is now and always has been a jerk. His frat-rat years expressed his personality perfectly and if he could have remained at Yale, hazing his fellow bulldogs, he would have been happier and the world would have been safer. His "likeability" has always been reserved for those who laugh at his jokes and agree with whatever he says.
