Whatta way to start the day....
The results of a poll conducted by the AP conveniently released today, indicates that:
A majority of Americans say they feel hopeful about President Bush's second term, but those hopes are clouded by doubts about when the bloodshed in Iraq will end.
A majority of Americans???
It gets worse..
The article goes on to say:
'He's genuine'
Public perceptions of the president's personal strengths are his biggest asset today.
We're in a lot worse trouble than I thought...
Almost two-thirds of those polled described Bush as likable, strong and intelligent. A majority said he is dependable and honest.
but there is some redemption:
People were relatively optimistic about their own personal finances in the next year. Four in 10 said they expect their own situation to improve and a similar number said they expect it would stay the same the same
That looks very much like only 40% to me.
