A visual aid to help see Bush's decline in the polls

[Gaard]

Historical Bush Approval Ratings

note: the 3 spikes are...9/11, Iraq War, and Saddam's capture.

25 point spike! -- 9/11/01

Fear is a great motivator.

Fear is a great motivator.

But not necessarily a rational one.

 

[Moonbeam]

Clearly Dumbsfeld has to go.

 

[conjur]

Bush sure is the war President, eh?


Hmm...interesting.

Notice how the ABC and the FOX indicators are always the highest on each point? FOX, we all know, is very pro-Bush. ABC is owned by Disney (run by Michael Eisner who refuses to distribute Michael Moore's movie out of fear of angering the neocons in the administration.)

Hmmm. Looks like George needs another spike in September or October. Not another 9/11-sized one, but something bigger than Hussein's capture.

Good find, Gaard. Very interesting.

Time to get Osama out of the storage box?

There is only one poll that matters, its coming in November. You can rely on the results of that poll more than any other. And hopefully this time it wont come down to hanging chads.

mastertech01, are you referring to the vote count in the Supreme Court?

Yeah, that one's now 7 to 2 Gore.

Not yet. Give it a couple more months.

Or maybe Bush pulls troops out of Iraq by request of the new provincial government after we hand it over to them and declare an end to the occupation.

When has politics ever been about rational thinking

Zogby and FOX have so many outliers compared to the average I wonder about their methodolgy. I agree with MasterTech anything can happen and if Bush pulls out with percived "grace" it should shoot up in one day like 9-11 did. (no saying as much but enough)

As the planet's orbital trajectory continues at a pace equal to that of a modern buliptorant, no being is yet capable of predicting the scale of such a procedure. Considering these anecdotes, is it promentary to assume that the times, are in fact, a changin'?

It doesn't matter the Iraqi police are dumbasses and wouldn't be able to keep the country's population under control, if we pull out on June 30th, then I'm betting and I hope it turns into a debacle... We need Kerry in office not another 4yrs of a warmongering cowering liar who plays the "I did it cause God wanted me to" card.

 

[Forsythe]

Well if i know my Bush right, he's probably gonna find some chemicla weapons, or they're gonna find Osama right up to the election. To convince all the stupid people to vote for him! *Sigh*

 

[fornax]

5-day moving average? Do these pollsters measure his ratings every day?

TechJunkie:

I'm gonna' vote for Kerry The Dingleberry, but he won't do anything significantly different than Bush. Our hands are tied. WE LOSE. All we can do is lose. We could put Moses in charge and he'd just wander in the desert for 40 YEARS.

If you want to believe that is the reason. I look at it from the perspective that they didnt feel like distributing another error ridden pile of trash from moore. They told him over a year in advance they wouldnt do it but he went ahead and did it anyways. Well he shouldnt be surprised when they dont distribute it.

I always find this amazing from liberals. They want us to leave so it turns into a debacle so Kerry can win? You are willing to subject an entire country to total chaos so your boy can win in November? Where is the compassion in Liberals these days because I dont see it anymore.

Never heard of an isolationist liberal but it seems like they are everywhere now. Ill start calling them Neolibs.

We can win if when we leave Iraq it is a stable democracy. If we leave next week we lose.

Did GWB's poll numbers go up when Saddam was captured?

Iraq is already a lost cause it is better that we fail now and have someone other then bush in office to prevent bush from increasing the size of his empire.
