Poll: America's New Year's Resolution For President Bush: End Iraq War

NEW YORK – December 15, 2005 – President Bush’s approval ratings have spiked dramatically over the last month while Congressional approval crashed. Following several recent speeches on Iraq, voters appear to be rallying around the president, with a 10-point jump in his approval since a similar poll in November (from 40% to 50%). Bush’s largest gain was among Independents, whose approval jumped by sixteen points. Meanwhile, voters are souring on Congress, disapproving of its job performance by 64% to 26% — a 14-point rise in disapproval since last month. Despite controlling both houses, Republicans also disapprove of Congress by 54% to 38%.

34% of Americans say their New Years Resolution to * the Iraq War. The number I found pathetic though is more people think he is doing a better job on Iraq then the economy. I guess the news from Iraq is easier for him to spin.

When did this happen? Maybe in some moron's fantasy, but I'm SURE the real numbers are about 8-9 points lower.

Maybe they only poll drunk people. I think I'll stick with Zogby & Gallup.
