Laura Bush in Denial
 

It just gets more and more pathetic.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - First lady Laura Bush said on Sunday she does not believe opinion polls showing her husband's approval ratings at record low levels.

Interviewed on Fox News Sunday, Laura Bush said she did not think people were losing confidence in President George W. Bush, despite a series of polls showing support for him at its lowest point in his five-year presidency and among the lowest for any president in the past 50 years.

"I don't really believe those polls. I travel around the country. I see people, I see their responses to my husband. I see their response to me," she said.

"As I travel around the United States, I see a lot of appreciation for him. A lot of people come up to me and say, 'Stay the course'."

Many recent polls have put Bush's job approval rating below 35 percent. One, the Harris poll, published last Friday, measured his approval at 29 percent, the first time any survey has put his support below the 30 percent mark. Two other polls published last week put his job approval at 31 percent.

In a separate interview on ABC's "This Week," Laura Bush said her husband's popularity was suffering because the country had been through a difficult year.

We've had a very, very difficult year, starting with the hurricane last September, but already because of the terrorist attack in 2001 and then the war on terror since then," she said. "He's the one that has to make the hard decisions. And, of course, they don't please everyone."

Mrs. Bush complained that when her husband's popularity was high, newspapers did not put that on the front page. Now it was low, they took great delight in highlighting the fact.

Asked if she thought the media had been unfair, Mrs. Bush said: "No, I don't think it's necessarily unfair. I think it's just, you know, I think they may be enjoying this a little bit."

I guess she doesn't look beyond the crowd of 5 people that actually like bush :)

she's just hardheaded

"A lot of people come up to me and say, 'Stay the course'.""

I guess they pay actors now.

That's like going to Yankee Stadium and then saying "I can't believe anyone hates the Yankees, everyone here seems to like them"

Most Presidents have hit periods of public doubt.

I admire GWB for sticking to his guns. That is the type of man who we need as President.

Low approval rates tell only part of the story. See:

If you are serious you need to be taken out. Or at least have your voting rights taken away. He's here to serve US the PEOPLE not himself.

the concept of a hired representative eludes some people...

Yeah YOU. If 70% of the people don't like what he's doing he's not REPRESENTING us now is he? Thanks for playing. You're just a Bush lover he could kill a small child on national TV and you'd justify it somehow. Blind loyalty is sickening.

The polls are all wrong and the gas companies aren't gouging us! SURE!!!

Ummm sure if his guns didn't fire blanks.. It's not a good thing if you stick to your guns when you are wrong.. Hence George Bush.

We all know he's an idiot... shit, half the world knows that! He will go down as one of the worst President's in American history.

I can't even believe someone who runs a porn site is saying this. I guess your business doesn't mean shit to you.

The world does not revolve around me.

Our country's national security is more important than my business.

lol so what has Bush done to secure this country?

if she really felt that way she wouldnt of picked safe fox to talk about it on.

Perhaps the mob's behind it.

:pimp

Those that would sacrifice freedom for security will recieve and deserve neither.

Ben Franklin

I agree with Ben. Fact is to be an American is about taking risks. If you want to feel "safe" may I suggest moving to China, N Korea or some other repressive regime. You may not be free but you'll be safe.

I was agreeing with you dumbass :1orglaugh

my comment was an observation of daddyhalbuck's response

Half the world?

I don't know a single person who supports Bush anymore.

Even my mother who is a long time ardent to the bone Republican is no longer supportive of the Bush admin nor Congress and has switched parties.

She can't even watch him on TV when he talks and changes the channel, she's so fed up with his policies.

:1orglaugh

she needs to get out and talk to ppl...she will see how americans feel about the pres

Bush's problem isn't Americans it's Mexicans !

What is this "one of" bullshit?

Bush is trying to get enough in here so when his half-breed nephew runs in 12years he can win.
