Not a shock. America recognizes and respects a leader with character.

Anything from the SFO Chron. complimenting the President is suspect.
But...more importantly...forget the damn polls!!!!!
Next year the voters will return Dubya to the Presidency based on his record....NOT..the GD polls !

You are right about Bush, but the collective groan from the Left is just too sweet to ignore. I feel their pain.

Poll: President's approval on the rise after Thanksgiving

(12-02) 14:30 PST WASHINGTON (AP) --
President Bush's standing with the public has improved since his surprise Thanksgiving trip to Iraq amid signs of a stronger economy and following congressional passage of a prescription drug benefit under Medicare.
Bush's job approval was at 61 percent in the National Annenberg Election Survey conducted the four days after the holiday, up from 56 percent during the four days before Thanksgiving. Disapproval of the president dropped from 41 percent to 36 percent, according to the poll released Tuesday.
Bush visited the troops in Baghdad on Thanksgiving -- a move that even won praise from political opponents.
Public opinion about Bush personally also improved during the four-day, post-holiday span, with an increase in the number who view him favorably from 65 percent to 72 percent. Republicans shifted from 83 percent with a favorable view of Bush personally to 94 percent. Democrats moved from 46 percent to 55 percent.
Public opinion on the war in Iraq did not shift significantly, however. People were about evenly split on whether the war in Iraq was worthwhile before the holiday and afterward.
Approval of Bush's handling of Iraq increased slightly, with 44 percent approving and 53 percent disapproving before Thanksgiving, and people evenly split on that question now. The public view of his handling of the economy also shifted from a 45-51 percent split before Thanksgiving to a public divided almost evenly on his handling of the economy, 50-48, afterward.
The margin of sampling error for the 789 people interviewed before Thanksgiving and the 847 interviewed after was plus or minus 3 percentage points.

I appreciate your help! Tried several searches on Google for the headline without success. Also attempted to search the SF Chronicle's web site without success. It was deleted from their breaking news section.
Bravo for my fellow Freepers!

I hope Dubya waits until just before the election next year, then during a primetime address to the nation drags Saddam Hussein out onto the carpet of the Oval Office in chains. I reckon his approval rating would hit 99%. ;-)

No kidding. I am sick of the polls this and polls that. But I will admit this is a tasty pill to take!

Is there anyone left over there? I figured them all to be laid out in a drugged-out stupor by now...

Yup. Buncha folks whose opinion is changed by a turkey dinner. They'll swing to and fro, I expect.
