You need to re-read before you post. I never addressed the popularity polls. I reject the claim that 91% of Republicans support his policies as a BLANKET STATEMENT. It's a fairy tale until someone can prove it, and so far, no one has come close.

Hello in there? Try actually thinking before you post.

His post was very clear that 91% approved of Bush.

Unless you were engaging in a pathetic bit of sophistry, what do you think the approval ratings are for? It is a blanket question for a measure of support - do you approve (sanction, endorse, accept, support) of the job he is doing? That includes his policies. That article even broke down some of the policies individually - ranging from 60's to the high 80's on individual issues. But 91% supported him OVERALL.

Guess what - it doesn't mean that 91% agree with ALL of his policies. That sort of thing only exists in the dim recesses of your mind.
