This makes no sense to me. I mean, I can understand it if it were used in a political contest. But fucking approval ratings?
First they don't include non-registered voters. Who are mostly poor or immigrants and less likely to support Republicans. Then they disregard "registered" voters. Numbers would likely drop by 5% to 10% for Bush if they included "registered" voters and ignored all Americans. What these pollsters decide who will vote and therefore decide that Bush's approval rating should be 50% instead of 40 to 45% where it actually is.
This is unbelievable.
