The Bush administration and its critics at a UN summit have inked a broad agreement on global Internet management that will preclude any dramatic showdown this week. By signing the statement (.pdf), the Bush administration formally endorsed the creation of an 'Internet Governance Forum' that will meet for the first time in 2006 under the auspices of the UN. The forum is meant to be a central point for global discussions of everything from computer security and online crime to spam and other 'misuses of the Internet.' What the agreement does not do is require the US to relinquish its unique influence over the Internet's operations.

The only other president with such low poll numbers in their second term was Richard Nixon. And those polls were taken after Watergate...
You bushbots will have to accept at some point that Bush is going to end up in the history books as one of the worst U.S. presidents of your country's history.

Like I said, you still have a lot to learn. The people you know does not give you an authoritive answer on the president's popularity, unless you know everybody in the U.S. which is highly unlikely.
There's no doubt that there's people that don't like the president, but where were they last election? Could it be that they're indeed outside the majority?
Historically a president's poll numbers drop in their second term, so history is my "better" indicator.
