Bush Approval Rating Polled at 45%, 54% disapprove

[The Toecutter]

So how did he "win" this "election"? Those approve/disapprove numbers look more akin to the exit poll data...



Poll Shows Optimism About Iraq

Adults were evenly divided on Bush's job performance in January, but now 54 percent disapprove and 45 percent approve. The number who think the country is headed down the wrong track increased from 51 percent to 58 percent in the past month.

I'm not one to place 100% faith in polls, however. But if you look at other polls, the results are consistent, with the more optimistic of those I found being a Gallup poll, with 49% approve and 48% disapprove...

I don't think this is evidence that the election was rigged.
It does show that bush sucks a wang of increasingly larger proportion each day, though.

Re: Bush Approval Rating Polled at 45%, 54% disapprove

This article isn't evidence, no. I just thought it was funny how close to the exit polls this data was(those exit polls of which are evidence. So much so ours are more off than those of Ukraine in certain states...), and also funny how so many people disapprove of Bush, even though those same people supposedly voted for him...

Yeah. I think more than anything it proves what a garbage candidate Kerry was.

Watch this video.


Too bad the raw exit poll data says the dueche won(The 'corrected' ones the media released were made up, 'corrected' to reflect their own previous projections). I'm not at all a Kerry fan myself, but quite a bit went on in this (s)election that wasn't reported in the news. LOT'S of blatant voter fraud, ballot dumping, voter intimidation, voting machine 'errors', and denial of a legitamate vote to tens of thousands in just one state alone.

It wasn't just Ohio, but also Florida.

Even the Russians say our elections are bad:

Russian Observer Shocked by U.S. Election Procedures

A Russian parliamentarian taking part in international monitoring of the U.S. presidential elections has said that the elections were held in violation of U.S. law and that that he was shocked after seeing how the elections were held.

The Interfax news agency cited State Duma deputy Aleksei Ostrovsky of the Liberal Democratic Party as saying that he was shocked by the way the elections were held in the U.S.

“In my opinion there are possibilities to forge the elections results and these possibilities are caused by serious, as we see it, violations of the electoral law,” the MP said in a telephone interview.

The parliamentarian noted that primarily he was shocked by the fact that U.S. citizens do not produce any ID as they come to polling stations. “It is enough to say ’I am Mr. Smith,’ and he is allowed to vote; the same person can exit one polling station and go to another and vote again using the same procedure,” the Russian MP said.

Ostrovsky also noted that all Americans who he talked to had said they did not like voting by computer. “Often people simply do not understand how to vote and nobody really tries to explain it to them,” the observer said.

Apart from Aleksei Ostrovsky two more Russian parliamentarians are observing the U.S. presidential elections under the aegis of the OSCE. They are the deputy chief of State Duma’s International Affairs Committee Aleksandr Kozlovsky of the United Russia faction and a member of the Committee for Affairs of Federation and Regional Policy, Leonid Ivanchenko of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.



Here are a few glaring irregularities in Ohio on and shortly after the election night:

Ohio country reported negative 25,000 votes cast:

OHIO STOLEN
2004-11-03 16:26:30
Greg Palast and Randi Rhodes reported today that the state of Ohio was stolen by the Republicans in election 2004. Ohio was the critical state that tipped the balance, giving the presidency to Bush.

Turns out one county in Ohio, equipped with electronic voting machines, reported NEGATIVE 25,000 votes.

Wha?!?

That’s what at least one election official in Ohio said. The votes from that County are lost. Not counted. GONE!

92,000 dumped votes and 155,000 uncounted provisional ballots in Ohio:

http://www.cleveland.com/election/pl...6457262001.xml

Kerry also had an opportunity in Ohio to follow the Al Gore playbook and demand a recount of some 92,672 discounted votes for president, including 12,953 in Cuyahoga County.

and

But after considering the cruel math that trickled out of Ohio's elections offices, Democrat John Kerry decided not to wage an uphill battle to close a 136,000-vote gap, and he conceded defeat to President Bush - though Kerry still insisted that Ohio's 155,000 provisional ballots be counted.

Bush gains an extra illigitamate 4,000 votes in Ohio:

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/....ap/index.html

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- An error with an electronic voting system gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in suburban Columbus, elections officials said.

Franklin County's unofficial results had Bush receiving 4,258 votes to Democrat John Kerry's 260 votes in a precinct in Gahanna. Records show only 638 voters cast ballots in that precinct.

Bush actually received 365 votes in the precinct, Matthew Damschroder, director of the Franklin County Board of Elections, told The Columbus Dispatch.

Here's a report on how the Ohio election was successfully rigged:

And a few irregularities in Florida:

Such as 88,000 more votes than registered voters being counted:

http://www.washingtondispatch.com/sp...es/000715.html

Palm Beach County Logs 88,000 More Votes Than Voters

According to the official election results posted on the Palm Beach County Website, 542,835 ballots were cast for a presidential candidate while only 454,427 voters turned out for the election (including absentee). This leaves a discrepancy of 88,408 votes cast for the presidential candidates.

Palm Beach County's supervisor of elections is Theresa LePore who is known for the 2000 Presidential Election and the notorious "butterfly ballot" that caused confusion among seniors and other Floridians.

Other election oddities occurred throughout Florida with some counties registering a 400% increase in expected voter turnout among Republicans while Democrats supposedly experienced a -60% decline in expected support within certain counties. The 50+ counties experiencing the high percentage fluctuations in expected turnout used optical scan voting machines on November 2nd.


Voting machines count backward!

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/politic...VOTE_1105.html

Early Thursday, as Broward County elections officials wrapped up after a long day of canvassing votes, something unusual caught their eye. Tallies should go up as more votes are counted. That's simple math. But in some races, the numbers had gone . . . down.

Officials found the software used in Broward can handle only 32,000 votes per precinct. After that, the system starts counting backward.

Why a voting system would be designed to count backward was a mystery to Broward County Mayor Ilene Lieberman. She was on the phone late Wednesday with Omaha-based Elections Systems and Software.

University Berkely California(this was mentioned in a wired.com article, the source beingvery apolitical by nature) already has found that in Florida Bush got 200,000+ more votes than he should have, that probably came from Kerry, with the odds of this discrepancy normally occuring calculated at about 1/1,000.

http://www.wired.com/news/evote/0,2645,65757,00.html

Electronic voting machines in Florida may have awarded George W. Bush up to 260,000 more votes than he should have received, according to statistical analysis conducted by University of California, Berkeley graduate students and a professor, who released a study on Thursday.

and

The three counties where anomalies were most prevalent were Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade. In Broward, statistical analysis showed Bush should have received 13,000 fewer votes this year than in 2000. In fact, he received 59,000 more votes than expected, for a net gain of 72,000 votes. 1

In Palm Beach county, analysis showed that Bush should have gained only 17,000 votes. But instead he gained 57,000. In Miami-Dade county he was expected to gain votes, but by much less than he actually did. According to the researchers he should have received only 29,000 more votes, but he actually gained 44,000 votes.

Both Broward and Miami-Dade counties use machines made by Election Systems & Software, while Palm Beach county uses machines made by Sequoia Voting Systems. No Florida counties used touch-screen machines made by Diebold Election Systems, the company whose machines have received the most scrutiny over the last year.


and

Sociology professor Michael Hout, who chairs the university's graduate Sociology and Demography group, said the chance for such a discrepancy to occur was less than 1 in 1,000.


Kathy Dopp analyses unexpectedly high results for Bush in counties with e-voting. For example in Holmes County 72.7% of voters registered Dems. Only 21.3% registered Reps. Yet 77% of the votes reported were FOR BUSH?! Compare for yourself the official Florida registration data with the official election results .



Should any of these links not work, go to www.archive.org and pop them in. They will turn up. Hundreds of more irregularities can be pointed out. This is just the tip of the iceberg. A very selective 3% "recount" as prescribed by one Ken Blackwell doesn't change the existence irregularities, either, especially if you ignore the counties where they are at.

Of course, that wasn't a news article with any verified data.

Verified data. That data in those articles I posted? I could go right over to government websites, election boards, and university studies and pull it right off and link and verify it. In fact, I did do that with some of the data.
