Bush at all-time low in Granite State
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterA new University of New Hampshire poll has President Bush's approval rating at an all-time low.
The Granite State Poll, conducted by the UNH Survey Center, found a 24 percent approval rating and a 72 percent disapproval rating. The poll also finds that half of New Hampshire's registered Republicans disapprove of Bush.
Granite Staters overwhelmingly disapprove of Bush's handling of the economy and foreign affairs. Only 19 percent think the country is headed in the right direction.

Eh....
What about CONGRESS? They are DEMOCRATS.
How about a fair and balanced article on their rating, which is only between 9%-13%?
Yes that's NINE-THIRTEEN percent folks..
DEMOCRATS. Like Lynch.

Glad you don't charge.
This website is horrible. Where is the balance? There were plenty of press releases regarding how Hodes and Shea-Porter voted to go on vacation rather than debate the energy policy.
However thanks for posting Shea-Porters blunder of a press release on BP. As she went on to say “Today, BP—one of the country’s major oil companies—announced a second-quarter profit of $9.47 billion.” Since when is BP(British Petroleum) an American company? Even, Drew Cline from the UL picked up on it. Goes to show out of touch she is with reality.
Man the lifeboats
The problem when the boat sinks is the RATS come up on deck.
Listen to you guys. Bwah!
You've been Bussssshhhed. Try the Prep H boys.
MIssed the point.
Jack, the posters do have a point. Lots of Dem driven headlines on a non-partisan website. I dont think they really care about Bush's rating.
DFM, that BP comment was too funny. Is she really that out of touch with reality? It kind of explains why she has a high teens approval rating. Jack will you be working on Carols resume when she gets creamed this November?
NH Republicans heart Bush
McCain = third Bush term
Kenney = talks like Bush
Sununu = votes 90% with Bush
Bradley = Bush enabler
Stephen = Believes Bush
Clegg = Bush water boy
Cullen = Bush apologist
NH Republicans love Bush
NH Republicans lose in 2008.
The Lesson?
When you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas.
Creme de la creme
The “creamed” metaphor works for me, Gavin. Carol will rise to the top in November! She will succeed because she has a strong ground game.
CD-1’s grassroots efforts will overpower the broken down machine your crew is pushing uphill.
