MSNBC Bush Polls Up/ CNN Bush Polls Same

What the hell is going on here? How can thee two polls be so signifigantly different? Doesn anybody have a broader pool of poll numbers that we can use as an average to determine whether he is still tanking or not? I am getting pissed that he dragging himself out of this hole, how stupid does this make the American people if they really are falling for this media campaign. I sure hope they see through the mirage.

"President Bush's approval rating has surged in recent weeks, reversing what had been an extended period of decline, with Americans now expressing renewed optimism about the future of democracy in Iraq, the campaign against terrorism and the U.S. economy, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News Poll.

Bush's overall approval rating rose to 47 percent, from 39 percent in early November, with 52 percent saying they disapprove of how he is handling his job. His approval rating on Iraq jumped 10 percentage points since early November, to 46 percent, while his rating on the economy rose 11 points, to 47 percent. A clear majority, 56 percent, said they approve of the way Bush is handling the fight against terrorism -- a traditional strong point in his reputation that nonetheless had flagged to 48 percent in the November poll."

"CNN -- President Bush's approval ratings do not appear to have changed significantly, despite a number of recent speeches he's given to shore up public support for the war in Iraq and its historic elections on Thursday.

A CNN/USA Today Gallup poll conducted over the weekend found his approval rating stood at 41 percent, while more than half, or 56 percent, disapprove of how the president is handling his job. A majority, or 52 percent, say it was a mistake to send troops to Iraq, and 61 percent say they disapprove of how he is handling Iraq specifically. The margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points."

"uptick" might be more accurate...

"Surge" just screams advocacy (doesn't sound very journalistic to me).

With all this insanity about the spying, and the pending investigations, whatever his #'s are now, they're gonna drop!

You'd think they'd already have polled the Sunday speech (it's been 2 days since then).

The media has been keeping the spying in the headlines. That's a GOOD THING!

Idiots made all these PR speeches
and come January's State O the
Union, what else is he gonna
blab about?

He's gonna spew even more in just 31 days.
