No, I think they are saying that it was a private meeting and therefore will not be going into detail about it.

From '98

"The Monitor/TIPP poll found that Clinton's overall approval rating stands at 57 percent, while 40 percent disapprove of the job he is doing. Three percent were undecided."

From '99 (the height of the Repub smear job)

"But even so, Clinton's personal favorability rating dropped notably, from 59% in September to 48% in the latest survey, as Americans appeared to be drawing a distinction between job performance and the president's personal character. His unfavorability rating increased to 45% from 35%. Half feel he has the honesty and integrity to be president, whereas 41% suggest he does not."

Here's a gaff from Infoplease, and online Encyclopedia:

"Paradoxically, however, in spite of the scandalous outcome of events, Clinton's overall popularity among Americans remained high. The country seemed willing to ignore his weaknesses in character, much as they did in the 1992 elections, as long as the economy was good, his policies were popular, and the United States remained strong abroad"

And the kicker from USA Today, 5/26/2003:
Respect for Clinton rebounds among Americans

"Bill Clinton now ranks as this nation's third best chief executive, according to a recent CNN/USA TODAY/Gallup Poll.

Only Abraham Lincoln (chosen by 15%) and John F. Kennedy (13%) finished ahead of Clinton (11%) in the April poll, which asked Americans who was "the greatest" president. George W. Bush managed to tie Clinton for third place."

And here are Bush's current numbers:
http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm
Do  you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?
46% approve, 47% don't approve, 8% don't know

http://www.pollingreport.com/BushFav.htm
Is your opinion of George W. Bush  favorable, not favorable, undecided, or haven't you heard enough about George W.  Bush yet to have an opinion?

Fav 38%, unFav 43%, undecided 18%


just some numbers ....

Even during Clinton's darkest days he still had a hell of a lot of popularity, both personally and in his policies. As for Bush ....

His current number are:

"According to a recent poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, George W. Bush's overall job approval rating has dropped to 43 percent, down from 56 percent in mid-January. While these numbers can change quite rapidly, the most alarming figure is that only 40 percent of Americans approve of the way the Bush administration is handling the conflict in Iraq, with 53 percent outright disapproving. This number has dropped significantly since January lending credence to the theory that the mounting attacks against primarily U.S. forces have disillusioned the U.S. population."

Bush's numbers are lower now than Bill during the Monica scandel and impeachment. Sorry to break it to YOU GS, but most Americans aren't fundamentalists, conservatives,  or right-wingers - they're MODERATES.  

Omg He's got a gun!  Run for your lives!  

psst... (Cossak... hide dude)

GS, do you realize how silly your point is? How many people can actually spend time with and get to know a president before they decide if they "like" him or not? Very few. And if you just read the papers, what do they report? Everything negative, of course. You can't judge a person by reading about them in the papers. The only way to get to know them is to spend time with them. But I will grant you that his morals were twisted and disagreeable.

And I hate to break it to you, but most Americans are NOT conservatives. If you look at the last presidential election (Which Al gore won the popular vote in, by the way. Yea, that means a MAJORITY voted for him.) everything hinged on ONE voting district in ONE state. I'd say that shows a pretty much 50/50 split.

My grandparents are Catholic. Just about as Catholic as them come. And you know what? They're against Bush and against the war. Funny how that works. My best friend is the biggest bible thumping redneck you will ever meet. It took about fifteen minutes for me to convince him with straight facts and quotes that bush is a moron.

But he's not a moron. He's a puppet.

I never said the majority of Americans are conservatives.  I simply said that the majority of Americans ARE NOT LIBERALS.  Another big difference that you guys who can not read didn't get.  Also, when you are talking about majorities in voting, you also have to understand that only a majority of the PEOPLE WHO VOTED, voted for that person.  Not everyone who can vote, does vote.  Which is a really bad problem in this country.

 And alas not just a problem in the US... here as well as many other countries. daft isn't it we take for granted somthing that so many people die fighting for ... the ability to have a voice in the politics of your country...

I thought you wanted the world to end ...

Well ghost... shocking isn't it!!

I don't think thats going to happen very often...
