 With so many things going pear-shaped during his administration, just how low can President Bush's approval ratings drop? Take a wild guess at Sportsbook.com and you could end up smiling a whole lot more than Bush this year. As things have panned out, 2006 has gotten off to a rocky start. Iraq, the wiretapping fiasco, the ports debacle and illegal immigrants have left ol' George Dubbya more than a little bruised. But just how much his image has been damaged in the minds of Americans is the question at Sportsbook.com. And it's up to you to bet on the answer. Public opinion polls to date have indicated a serious decline in Bush's popularity. Many American citizens have voiced their impatience with the various scandals and the ongoing war overseas. Recent polls resulted in an overall approval rating of President Bush sitting between 34% and 38%. Quite a slip from the 42% approval he received in a poll run a month previously.Whether Bush makes a comeback or not is up to him and his staff. And whether you love this president or love to disagree with him, it seems a pretty sure bet that unless things make a drastic change, you could probably bet your bottom dollar that ratings will have to go down before they go back up again. Or maybe not. The online sports book and betting giant Sportsbook.com is laying odds on his approval rating percentage come 1 May 2006. And if you're a fan of Bush and his policies, now's the time to show your support. The bet on George Bush is what's termed an 'overs or unders' bet, meaning that your bet will either be for an approval rating of above 39% or below 39% on 1 May. The rating will be drawn directly from the polling average calculated and published by RealClearPolitics.com, an online aggregator of the major public opinion polls in the USA.  A spokesperson from Sportsbook.com believes that Americans love betting on politics just as much as sports, "We're committed to providing our customers with the opportunity to bet on all hot button items from sports, to politics to entertainment." And if ever there were 'hot button' items, George W. Bush and America's future are at the top of everyone's list right now.Sportsbook.com is the world's largest sportsbook and internet casino, with online products that include sports betting, horse racing, multiplayer poker, casino games and virtual games. Take part in the nation's biggest bet of the year - go overs or unders on Bush at Sportsbook.com before 1 May 2006. And in case you're concerned, there won't be any dangling chads or recounts on this one! |
