Gallup bucks trend, has Bush approval rising

Despite a generally negative evaluation of President George W. Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina, and increasing worries about the war in Iraq, Gallup finds that Bush's approval ratings are climbing, in contrast with every other major research polling service and news agency, RAW STORY has learned.

Gallup found Bush's approval rating was lowest -- at 40 percent -- between Aug. 22 and Aug. 25. Since then, it has climbed five points, while every other poll has declined. The poll has also found that Bush's handling of the hurricane polling has improved since the initial disaster, from 44 percent to 58 percent.

5. The answer is right in the article
"Gallup has faced critics on the left; their samples tend to include more Republicans than other pollsters, even though there are more registered Democrats in the United States.

Gallup says this more accurately reflects the voting demographic of the country, saying more Republicans vote."

They are simply a GOP tool.

6. I think Gallup is an outlier because they asked two separate
questions about Bush's handling of Katrina - one about his initial handling of it and one about his recent handling of it. That inflated his numbers.
