10/14/2005 5:34:25 PM

It is because the other 98% of them see the silly ones sitting on the curbs in New Orleans saying... "umm I think the flood was cuz uhh ...umm George Bush did it... " Reporter: "Who else do think is responsible?" "Umm may-bee dem ones that blew up the world trade centah" Reporter" You mean Al-queda???'' - "Umm.. I dunno what his name is."

This is the sillyness that they listen to..

10/14/2005 6:32:26 PM

You're right, that DOES make his point about a sample size of 89 black Americans meaningless.

10/14/2005 8:20:13 PM

ok I guess his actual approval rating among blacks is somewhere between 12% and -8%

10/14/2005 8:43:14 PM

I bet I could find 89 black americans on tdub

maybe that's how he got his sample...

10/14/2005 8:50:55 PM

black people use computers?

10/15/2005 11:16:08 AM

[Late Update: The Pew Research Center is just out with its latest poll, which has a larger sample, and it finds Bush's approval rating among blacks at 12 percent, down only slightly from 14 in July. Here are those results .]

raise your hand if you know a black person that likes bush...


anyone?

anyone?

ok, why is anyone questioning this? and why does it matter than a racial group doesnt like him?

noticed that there are fewer people all over bush these days? OMG THEY MUST BE BRAINWASHED IDIOTS.

10/15/2005 2:16:12 PM

i actually don't know that many black people

just to be clear

10/15/2005 2:17:24 PM

BREAKING NEWS: Bush's approval ratings among blacks down to 2 percent people: Alan Keyes and Condoleza Rice.

10/15/2005 5:09:01 PM

oh no! he might not get re-elected now!

wait...

10/15/2005 5:19:28 PM

why do we elect people who have no interest in getting re-elected?

its like if they dont need to get re-elected, there job is done

10/15/2005 5:22:41 PM

he's already been re-elected. haha.
even if he was interested THIS time, no one would be able to. they made a law about that a while back.

10/15/2005 5:27:54 PM

why does it matter that they are black?

10/17/2005 12:35:09 PM

Well, if I am not mistaken something like 97% of African Americans in NC voted Democrat in the last couple elections so 2% not approving of his tenure does not suprise me.
