1/3

From the Pew Poll (via Kevin Drum and Laura Rozen).

...Until now, the most frequently offered word to describe the president was "honest," but this comes up far less often today than in the past. Other positive traits such as "integrity" are also cited less, and virtually no respondent used superlatives such as "excellent" or "great" ­ terms that came up fairly often in previous surveys.

The single word most frequently associated with George W. Bush today is "incompetent,"and close behind are two other increasingly mentioned descriptors: "idiot" and "liar." All three are mentioned far more often today than a year ago


The Prez can, however, still fool 33% of the people, including 73% of Republicans.

  1. Not that they are likely to be much swayed by the right wing swill found in most of the MSM, but most of the Republicans I talk to say stuff like "I don't read the news, it's all distorted" or "I get my news from Fox and Rush" or "OK, Bush is a loser, but Kerry (or Gore) would have been much worse."

    The vast chasm between Republicans on the one hand, and Democrats and Independents on the other, suggests that hard core Bushies are living in a parallel universe.
