If you loose the gun vote...
Bush supporters, like terminal-stage Nixon-ites, can imply that it is only the political class who objects to Bush, and that “beyond the beltway,” far “out in the heartland” people are still patriotic and love their president.
Sorry, no sale. SurveyUSA reports the grim news. In Kansas Bush’s approval rating is a beautiful 38% against a disapproval of 60%. Among those over 55 it is 37%. Among self-identified moderates it is 28%
But here is the statistic that announces the doom of the entire Bush regime. Among Kansans who own a gun his approval is 48% against a disapproval of 50%. That’s right, Bush can’t even carry gun owners in Kansas. That’s sad. That’s the end.
So who does support Bush? Well he gets 64% among Republicans and 71% among those who think global warming is a hoax. No comment.
