I've been keeping the Bush Job Approval Composite Poll since 2000. This is going to prove to those that think Bush is just in the doldrums and will jump up that they had better rethink their position.
The poll consists of current (always less than 30 days old) non-partisan polls. Due to the current nature, sometimes the composite number is as many as 12 polls and sometimes as few as 6. I graph the numbers at WWW.DEMOCRATSFORUM.COM (see the Bush Poll menu choice).
What I'm seeing is this is a long term descent for Bush, not a temporary or momentary drop. He has dropped over 50 points from his undeserved 9/11 bounce to today. Anyone that says this is temporary needs to explain my graph on that page. BTW, anyone is free to copy it or link to it.
The drop of Bush is going to have a negative impact on the GOP in general in '06 and '08. That explains why so many GOPers are running from Bush.
If anyone can find fault in the methology or the numbers, please let me know. I want it to be fair, honest and above reproach. The numbers don't lie.
