The date on that poll is March 9, 2001. He wasn't even the president then! Buddy-boy was. 
Next try.

39%...after he was out of office. They aren't great, but are higher than Bush's pre 9/11 ratings, FYI. If you really want to do an accurate comparison, compare Clinton in early 1993 to Bush in early 2001, when they were at the same point in their presidencies.
Personally, I don't care what happened to those guys, but I think cheering over their deaths makes you no better than some of the Palestinians who were cheering after 9/11. A death is a death is a death.

Notice i said MOST of the eight years. Read the article, that was after his preisdency was over and after the controversial pardons and laws he past in his last few hours.
Research the numbers over the 8 years u will see. Some of his highest approval ratings were durning the Lewinsky deal.

I am actually fearful of the possible retaliation...
We should never have gone there in the first place...
What destruction we've brought upon ourselves has yet to be seen, in my opinion...

How is that?
The Palestinians that danced in the streets were celebrating the deaths of normal people minding their own business at work.
Today we killed men who repeatedly lit people on fire for their own amusement.
We have the proof that Saddam's sons did these disgusting things- I think they deserved death a lil more than the stock brokers in the world trade center.

Little bit, actually
Sorry, after 9/11, we cannot rest on our laurels. We aren't a safe, impenetrable nation...

This not only defies logic but lacks any intelligence.

Well said AXJules. There is a difference between celebrating the deaths of innocent civilians whose only crime was picking the wrong place to work, and two men who murdered their girlfriends if they could not perform satisfactorally in bed.
With that reasoning, what about the people that celebrated the death of Hitler? The people hanged at the Nuremburg trials? Adolf Eichmann, the only person to recieve capital punishment in the State of Israel?
Timothy McVeigh?

Yes, but we are safer now with the Hussein regime out of power, with the Taliban out of power, etc. We cannot eliminate the threats this country faces but we can make it harder for these threats to be carried out.

But how can you play cards when you're missing two aces?

In my thoughts, we gained two aces today. We just need to get the other two...
I want to play cards with a deck of captured Iraqis, not ones we are looking for

I am simply not judgemental enough to say whether or not someone deserved to die, nor will I cheer anyone's death. I am not a Christian, but I definitely believe man does not have the right to decide if another man should live or die. Even in the case of someone who willingly took the lives of others, he will have to deal with it with his Higher Power.
Back to the subject at hand...does this make up for the fact that WMD was found?
