Poll says 71 percent of voters want Bush gone
NEW YORK (IRNA) -- A Newsweek poll done after U.S. President George W. Bush delivered his State of the Union address found that many voters now see him as almost irrelevant.
The poll put Bush's job approval rating at 30 percent.
Almost three-quarters, 71 percent, of those polled agreed that Bush is an ineffectual lame duck, while 53 percent said they believe future historians will perceive Bush as a below-average president.
More than two-thirds, 67 percent, said they believe Bush's positions on Iraq are shaped by his personal beliefs, not by facts.
Many Republicans, 21 percent, agree with the overwhelming majority of Democrats and a majority of independents that they wish that Bush's term was already over.
Congress, or at least the former Republican majority in Congress, also gets poor marks, with 64 percent of respondents saying it should have done more to oppose Bush on the Iraq War.
Almost half, 48 percent, of those surveyed said their opinion of Bush will affect their choice in the 2008 presidential election.

Bush's legacy depends on the outcome of the Iraq war. In the unlikely event that the raging civil war ends soon, history may view him favorably.
However, I still view him unfavorably for getting us into this Iraqi mess. Self-Defense obligated a search for Bin Laden, but our vendetta against Iraq was unnecessary. Our involvement in this escalating mess is 100% the Bush Administration's fault (not just Bush, but Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz too.)
The blood of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis is on the Bush Administration's hands and they should be held accountable for their enormous blunders.

I have a hardcore dedication to my country not to any party I actually would vote for a 3rd party that had different values if there were one but first off I'm not old enough to vote and 2nd off there is no such party that exists.
I don't think Iraq is a COMPLETE failure it just has failed in most parts of the plan. What we need to do is clean up (which will take a couple years) and get our military back into shape.
To the person who said America has done nothing for the world...BS!!! We were essentially the ones who took down the Berlin wall, we were the ones who took out Sadaam, and there's a long list that goes on and on. I don't care which country you come from, I think that America is one of the greatest nations in the world.
