Reuters is reporting a Bush bounce in the polls up to the mid-forties dammit.
Yahoo News has it
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
President George W. Bush's approval rating has rebounded to 44 percent, the highest level in a year, in the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, the newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Let's see, he has a hissy fit on Friday, Olbermann crucifies him last night, and he gets a bounce in the polls in response?
Let's see what the "so called liberal media" says:
The bounce comes with seven weeks before elections to deicide [sic] control of Congress amid falling gas prices and a renewed campaign by Bush to boost support for the
Iraq war and to portray Republicans as more competent than Democrats on security, the newspaper said.
Oh, I see. Now it's perfectly clear, Exxon helps out their little 'marinated in oil' president and a thousand people that answered their phones for the poll are happy again?
Republicans are with their man 86% - up from 70% in May. I guess the Kool Aid distribution network has seen a resurgence in dose-takers.
For the first time since December 2005, a majority of people polled did not say the war in Iraq was a mistake. The respondents were evenly split at 49 percent to 49 percent, the report said.
However, the poll finds that the Iraq war continues to be a problem for Bush. Sixty percent said he does not have a clear plan for handling Iraq and 75 percent said Iraq is in a civil war, USA Today said.
The telephone poll of 1,003 people was conducted September 15-17, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points
44% ?? Are these people paying attention?? Don't they know the man is right now trying to exempt himself from prosecution for torture? For Christ's sake, get a clue you brain dead idiot hero worshipping conservatives.
