  •  I heard that too. I know that (none / 0)

    his approval rating was up to 45% in a CNN Gallup poll announced yesterday. I have not heard other poll results. Gallup often has his approval rating 3-5%points higher than other polls though.

    I think that 5% has to be movement within registered Republicans or Republican-leaning independents. I think there are just some people who want to see Bush in a good light and don't look too closely.'

    To me, it shocking that his approval rating is NOT YET down into the thirties with all the disasters that have happened on his watch, including the ones he instigated himself.

    •  What disasters? (none / 0)

      Haven't you heard? It's on the local news. WNBC tonight at 11 PM, just to pick one example, out of many. People are moving back to New Orleans. Slowly. But it's happening. Federal officials have pronounced NO 90% dry. Because like many Americans, all I expect out of my dwelling is that it be dry. Who needs such paltry fripperies as telephone, electrice power, police security, functioning hospitals, open stores, banking, and a place of employment? Just give me someplace that's DRY, dammit. It's really all I need. And I'll take a clothespin, please. To seal my nostrils from the stench of death and mildew.

      Katrina, Rita, just minor blips, now get back to those malls people, and gas up on your way. Consumerism drives the economy, so nothing is more patriotic than buying worthless crap and wasting precious natural resources while doing so. Life is back to normal, the evening news told me so. What a country! Viva George Bush!!!
