Both good ideas. Suggestion: each one of us to have same exact ping list once M2C finishes "cooking." I can speak for Howlin; count her IN.


Like yall, I have to do 'other' thangs today also. :(

Count me in, too, it sounds like My2Cents is using a terrific recipe!

And Southack's list is already wonderful, it will be incredibly valuabe organized as Wolfstar proposes :-)

I have been gathering a number of resources on Bush, too, let me know if anyone is looking for specific information...

PERSPECTIVE:

Rather than OVEREMPHASIZE the meaning of one-shot polls, we should consider the results of more meaningful (ROLLING) TRACKING POLLS! I've been watching several such polls, which essentially support the following 'tracking' results from Rasmussen.

Rasmussen Tracking Poll
[This poll surveys 1,500 LIKELY VOTERS on a ROLLING basis}

Since the beginning of January, this poll and other tracking polls have placed the President's approval rating between 54% and 57%. Currently, January 14-16,2004, the tracking poll has the President's approval rating at 57% (35% strongly approve vs 28% strongly disapprove -- the HIGHEST in almost 3 weeks).

As most tracking polls indicate, a president's JOB approval rating CORRELATES with voter perception of the economy -- after the January 9 jobs report, the poll noted a job approval decline which has now disappeared!

COMPARATIVES
At this point in their respective presidencies, Reagan's 'Gallup' approval rating was 52%, Bush 41's rating was mid-40s, and Clinton's approval rating was 42%!

REMEMBER, IT'S A MARATHON NOT A SPRINT!
