Approval Maps: Just One Red State Left!

And I bet all of you can guess which one it is.

It's not Idaho. Idaho clocked in at 48% approval back at the end of August, and this suggests Wyoming is also below 50%. But just the other day a new survey put Utah at 58%. Oh, Utah....

CLICK THE LINK ABOVE TO WATCH AN ANIMATED CHRONOLOGY MAP - WATCH THE RED STATES DISAPPEAR!

Below, which states have moved left faster than the nation, a way to estimate Bush approval in any district, and Bush's bounces.

Above is the most recent approval map for Bush, and an animation for the past three years. For the period May 2005 to November 2006, the maps are based solely on SurveyUSA data; November 2004 shows the results of the election, and all other maps are from a combination of available data and estimates.

Fool me once, or twice, or three times, but not a fourth.

5. If Dems win only the dark blue states (-35%) it would be a staggering blowout

6. Guess what that's where they have the largest smut making factory in the world.
In the world folks. They make the porno movies there and sell em all over the world. And that's where the kooks who want a dozen or more wives apiece live. Can you see them getting ANYTHING correct.

11. Doesn't surprise me that it isn't Idaho--I was in Idaho this summer
No, they haven't seen the light and turned blue, but they are smelling a rat with ole Bushy. It was real dry where I was staying and people were talking about global warming. I went into a convenience store and a couple guys in cowboy hats were discussing global warming with the owner. I thought I had entered an alternative universe.

17. Rewind 10 years and you would've never heard such things
This is the first year where water for agricultural purposes has been curtailed. Not good for a state that derives a lot of revenue from ag. Unfortunately the red in this State runs deeper than water in the aquifer.

13. And all of this means exactly *NOTHING*.
Okay, they are starting to hate Bush as much as we've
hated Bush.

But that has *ALMOST NO BEARING* on whether or not
they'll still go into the voting booth and reliably
vote for the Republican candidate, whomever he may
end up being.

You're all way too giddy about data that means almost
nothing.
