2. Absolutely...
The Fox poll reflects Fox reality. The real numbers are clearly really bad. Shrub's mad PR dash this week apparently didn't work.

19. For all polls such as this, look at it as the number of points + or -, not
the actual score.

Different polling companies use different methodology. Fox bends the numbers towards the high end, but they lose the same amount of points every poll.

4. They Forgot the ARG Poll!
Edited on Sun Sep-18-05 08:28 PM by Mark E. Smith
36% approval rating, and the first poll to show Kenny Bunkport's precipitous drop from the upper 40s..

6. If Faux is admitting to 41%, he's REALLY in the toilet.
I would guess around 34-35%.

8. Since this was done before his speech on Thursday...
I wonder how much lower they actually are now especially if Fox over samples and slants towards Republicans.

13. Many people said they voted for bush so he'd clean up his mess.
Do you remember all those people who thought that bush was making a mess of things and it was up to him to clean it up? Well, guess what, suckers, bush never cleans up his messes. We told you so.

That is a contributing factor to his decline in approval. Those suckers are finally catching on that bush can't do anything right.

21. These numbers are good news and will probably sink lower
But, will it translate into anything if the dems don't soon start wrapping this clown around the necks of the other candidates and porentials?

Howard Deans 'culture of corruption' (and incompetence) would seem to be a good beginning.

After all, Bush won't be running for anything other than running after campaign donations, and these donors need to be shown that these guys won't be in power and will be unable to deliver the sweetheart deals.
