12/20 Three cheers for Dubya! http://CNN.com today: As for Bush, 49 percent of respondents said they approved of the job the president is doing. That number is down from his November approval rating of 55 percent. Bush is the first incumbent president to have an approval rating below 50 percent one month after winning re-election. The question had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. [Gallup poll. Washington Post poll says the same thing.] \_ Not that I love Dubya, but didn't we all just learn how much you can really trust polls? \_ Actually, I think the Gallup poll matched the election results. It was Zogby that fucked it up. |
