Oh great ... CBS/NYT poll to show Bush's ratings up "markedly"

http://www.rawstory.com/

If that's true, could someone please explain WHY? :mad:

He's lowered the bar so much that no indictments is a huge accomplishment and a great week. The public is thrilled.

52% believe Bush intentionally lied to lead U.S.
into war... Public skeptical of speedy Iraq withdrawal....

At least a majority thinks he lied to get us into war.

.

"markedly" could mean he's at 40%.

I had forgotten the previous CBS poll was that low. Thanks for the reminder.

BTW, 40 percent is in line with other recent polls, so this is not a surprise. People thinking about the holidays may be giving Bush a respite from the 30s - temporarily, I hope!

They'll change their mind when they realize he didn't mean it.

and the bills come due and oil prices go back up and more soliders die in Iraq, his numbers will fall again to the mid 30's.

:spank:

lol -- the american public will buy just about anything.

anyway they weren't going to stay in the basement forever -- he's gonna have some bounces.

but that means little in the long term -- especially if democrats investigate -- IF they will work to
deny him a legacy.

that isn't all that great.

Hey, they did it in baseball. Why not politics?

orchestrating the new message these last couple of days- " Holiday shopping up by 33%" and "sales of new houses are up etc.- READ the Economy is BOOMING-

Oh, and don't look now but, we are turning the corner in Iraq.

Do they think we have our heads in the sand?

and the Dems have no voice to counter it.

It has been shown that ALL American media outlets are owned by just a handful of men. They control EVERYTHING that goes out over the air and in print.

And now they are lobbying to take over the internet to limit the individual sharing of information without their input and contol. And they will win...because they also OWN NEARLY EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRATIC POLITICIAN in DC and locally.

So, keep thinking that we can straighten things out. That and $5 will buy you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Is what we used to call it.

I wrote that specifically a few weeks ago when people were projecting a path down to 30% or lower. Bush wasn't going to be stuck in the mid-30s any more than he was going to maintain the 80-90% extreme post-9/11.

To play at the extremes you need continuing influences like the ones that planted you there in the first place. Another indictment or string of poor handling of situations would cement Bush in the mid-30s but there has been a comparitive lull. He was never going to dive much, if any, lower due to the fervent support of rightwingers, the same caliber who insist Gore tried to steal 2000 and Bush won every debate from Kerry. I was actually amazed Bush' support from his own base slumped as much as it did. I thought his basement was 38-40% approval rating but it was remarkable sustained ineptitude to plummet several points below that for a month or two.

Never underestimate the shallowness of the sheep in this country. Bush's dog and pony show seems to work on the easily hypnotized. Not to worry, there is a scandal-festival coming down the pike. His alleged "good fortune" is temporary.
