Same story, same poll, entirely different headlines spin

Breathless from MSNBC -- RATINGS BOOST Bush's job approval rebounding, poll finds. Bush�s approval rating rises to 42 percent
Ratings are at highest level since last summer

Less than impressed from the AP, whose poll it actually is: BUSH'S APPROVAL RATING REBOUNDS SLIGHTLY 4:05 a.m. ET
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush shifted into campaign mode in recent weeks to tout the economy's strength and explain the high stakes in Iraq -- possibly helping to boost his job approval rate to 42 percent in the December AP-Ipsos poll.

2. It's pathetic when in search for a sensational "BUSH COMES BACK" story

40 or 42% with 3%-5% for the margin of error is seen as a trumpth. Once at least one poll shows him at 45%, I am sure we will be back to hearing him described as a "very popular" president.

5. Yeah, and people are remembering that Bush has a mandate

People are finally coming back to their senses. Those low approval ratings were all manufactured by the librul media.
