Anybody Notice? No Published Scientific Polling on Condi's Approval Rating

Why is there a conspiracy of silence from the major scientific polling firms as to how the American people feel about Condi Rice being made Secretary of State?

I think the hearing and today's debates have left her wounded politically and that any polling done this evening and tomorrow would reveal a very low approval rating for her.

If Bush is in the low forties now, I'd wager that Dr.Rice is in the low thirties.

Where is the polling? Why the silence? Could it really be that bad?

To actually know who the NSA is, much less, to care about it. Ask the average person on the street who she is and see the type of response you get.

Con-Condi will be polling in the low teens.

and he has regularly released polls on approval ratings of cabinet members and other key administration officials.

"President Bush's picks for the top jobs in his second-term cabinet are getting mixed reviews from likely voters, with Secretary of State-designate Condoleezza Rice's nomination receiving the support of nearly six-in-ten Americans—while a majority disapprove of the job performance of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. The survey of 1004 likely voters was conducted from January 18 through 21, 2005, and has a margin of error of +/- 3.2 percentage points.

The poll finds that 58% approve of Rice's appointment as Secretary of State, replacing retired General Colin Powell. Additionally, a majority (53%) say they approve of the job Rice has done as National Security Advisor. Just three-in-ten (30%) say they disapprove of her appointment."

People recognize that our failed foreign policy is ultimately Bush's rather than Rice's responsibility.
