QUACK!

The president is hemorrhaging support.

Check out this latest and most convincing sign of Lame-duckness:

The Bush numbers in the ARG Economy poll out show that his slump continues to downgrade into longterm lameduckness:

Among Republicans (36% of adults registered to vote in the survey), 84% approve of the way Bush is handling his job and 12% disapprove. Among Democrats (38% of adults registered to vote in the survey), 18% approve and 77% disapprove of the way Bush is handling his job. Among Independents (26% of adults registered to vote in the survey), 17% approve and 75% disapprove of the way Bush is handling his job as president.

It's the number among the Independents that's gone way off the Bush reservation. Look at the spread:

Approve Disapprove
Republicans 84 12
Independents 17 75
Democrats 18 77


Bush job approval Approve Disapprove Undecided
Jun 2005 42% 53% 5%
May 2005 43% 51% 6%
Apr 2005 44% 50% 6%
Mar 2005 47% 48% 5%

There's more. See the full post by Jerome Armstrong over at MyDD. You can find the link here.

So, to the Bush cabal of manipulation and power, I would like to say the following:

So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehn, good night,
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehn, adieu,
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.
