What about your community?

(CNN) -- A majority would vote for a Democrat over President Bush if an election were held this year, according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll released Tuesday.

In the latest poll, 55 percent of the respondents said that they would vote for the Democratic candidate if Bush were again running for the presidency this year.

Thirty-nine percent of those interviewed said they would vote for Bush in the hypothetical election.

The latest poll results, released Tuesday, were based on interviews with 1,008 adults conducted by telephone October 21-23.

In the poll, 42 percent of those interviewed approved of the way the president is handling his job and 55 percent disapproved. In the previous poll, released October 17, 39 percent approved of Bush's job performance -- the lowest number of his presidency -- and 58 percent disapproved.

However, all the numbers are within the poll's sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, so it's possible that the public's opinion has not changed at all.

More than half, 57 percent, said they don't agree with the president's views on issues that are important to them, while 41 percent said their views are in alignment with those of Bush on important issues.
Democrats preferred on issues

On separate issues, a majority of those questioned felt the Democrats could do a better job than Republicans at handling health care (59 percent to 30 percent), Social Security (56 percent to 33 percent), gasoline prices (51 percent to 31 percent) and the economy (50 percent to 38 percent).

Forty-six percent also believed Democrats could do better at handling Iraq, while 40 percent said the GOP would do better.

In 2003, 53 percent said Republicans would better handle Iraq and only 29 percent believed the Democrats would do better.

The only issue on which Republicans came out on top was in fighting terrorism: 49 percent said the GOP is better at it, while 38 percent said the Democrats are.

And there was a dramatic shift downward in the latest poll, compared with September, in the percentage of people who said that it was a mistake to send U.S. troops to Iraq.

This time, 49 percent said it was a mistake, versus 59 percent who felt that way last month.

Its a damn shame the mid terms aren't this year. There would be alot of Repugs. with luggage in their hands.

But Fantomas: didn't W prove in 2000 that he doesn't need a majority of voters to win? Just his brother running FL and his buds running the Supreme Court?

You didn't post all the facts jockpop....You forgot about the affair Jeb was/is having with Katherine Harris to sway it away from Gore

I saw this bumper sticker on a car in Orlando the other day.

"WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE HIM A BLOW JOB SO WE CAN HAVE HIM IMPEACHED?"

So ... it seems to me the question is: will he remember how it works? My read is that for the past 5+ years, he's been getting his rocks off solely by virtue of his political power plays. And as I understand it, the evidence proves only that he and Lauara did the deed just once.

Based on where I live I suppose it comes as no surprise that there are very very few Bush/Cheney bumperstickers. The one or two I have seen in the past several months have been on Lexuses and other very high-end cars.

Here's a site with pages and pages of bumper-snickers.

I makes me crazy that here in Southern Southern New Jersey, especially Cape May County that all I ever see are W bumper stickers. Especially with some of our extremely lackluster and extremely backwards, toe the party line politicians we have down here. Coming from one of the oldest and most politically active (in the past) Republican families in the country, I am shocked and just don't get the people down heres unflagging support of GWB. They simply take every utterance of the Republican party as gospel. Although I did get a kick out of telling the local Republican group that until they changed their stance on certain things that they are unwelcome as a group in my gay owned Restaurant. It kind of set them back on their heels. They just didn't make the connection. I do have a W with the circle and line symbol on the back of my Jag tho.....

I have such a terrible time when I see people with Auburn license plates and a W-04 sticker on their car. It's a love/hate thing. I just want to stop them and ask them to please not degrade our school by displaying the W sticker.

"Cheney/Satan-2008" bumper sticker on a car this morning at my gym.

Isnt that redundant?

"Inclusion wins!"

How 'bout their insulting and degrading the president by displaying an Auburn license plate?

I'm a liberal, and my favorite sticker is:

KERRY LOST - LOSE THE STICKER.

Three thoughts:

1) He's already married to Satan and now he wants her to be VP??

2) Ann Coulter's running for office??

3) Will Satan be retired from the NHL by then??
