With a job approval at 39 percent, Bushie's SOTU is sure to be a widely viewed and jeered event. Here in East Nashville, progressives will gather at the 5-Spot to see what new failures King George has in store for us.
According to the latest WSJ-NBC poll:
Mr. Bush's overall job-approval rating remains at 39%, down from 50% immediately following his 2004 re-election. The proportion of Americans who credit the president with being "honest and straightforward" has fallen to 38% from 50% in January 2005; the proportion that gives him high marks for "strong leadership qualities" is 42%, down from 52%.

But Bushie isn't unpopular everywhere. The Boy King gets his highest approval ratings from Utah, the nation's most Rethuglican state. (via Wonkette) They love him in White Utah. They also have a thing for polygamists.
Be sure to catch some of Chris Matthews wingnut coverage of the SOTU. Apparently, Matthews is hoping to move on over to Fox News.
