Bush has risen 4 points to 53% approval according to Gallup. Gallup is the only one with historical data on all recent Presidents. 53% approval is on par with Reagan and Clinton when they were re-elected at this same point in time before the election. This is good news indeed. I was eagerly waiting to see this latest Gallup number. Very good news.
Woohoo ! ! Go GWB Go !
good news if you believe that stuff
Brace for a momentary "Edwards" bounce.
sounds about right.
"Brace for a momentary "Edwards" bounce."
I wouldn't be too sure about that.
What makes you think any Edwards supporters would have become undecideds?
Expect a lot of LLL to be pissed that the DLC is calling the shots - Edwards is a DLCer.
Expect Union thugs to be angry their boy Gephardt wasn't chosen.
Expect Hillary to be angry she wasn't chosen, and break out FBI files.
I'm glad to hear this. On the surface Edwards seems a good choice, but unfortunately he has the same problem Kerry does, when he begins to speak up the doubt really sets in. And his two Americas crap ain't going to play well with that America that Edwards want to squeeze on behalf of the other America. If there ever was a candidate who lacked gravitas, it's him.
LEVITAS he has in copious amounts.
Credit to MadIvan for the concept!
I'm considering the squishy middle, about 10% of the voters, who sway with the breeze. They give their support based upon the last good or bad news they heard the tube. Kerry's decided on Edwards...he has good teeth and darn good haircut...so the squishy middle will sway to Kerry for a day or so, until another bit of good news comes out of the Bush campaign.
Real good pick by Kerry, he really has a firm grasp on what the Ameriican people are looking for in a President.
Women especially want to vote for a man that has better hair than they do.
All of those trial lawyer lovers will be out in force as well.
Kerry is a stupid ass.
Edwards = Fluffitas
PING for great news!!!!!!!!!11
Oops. I spoke too soon (or maybe too late). Glad to see someone else thought this worthy of posting on FR.
It's a real possibility. Rove, et al have all they need now. The Leftist and The Lawyer - a match made in hell. Get busy, guys.
LANDSLIDE!
There's probably so much dirty laundry on those two that the Bush team could have a field day. Therein lies the rub--they must be as aggressive as the grassroots!
A killer instinct and some smart attack ads. You know they'll clean house in the debates. The question is how bad do they want it?
Interesting internals on this Gallup Poll:
Total Registered Voters Polled: 1,824
- Non-Hispanic Whites: 727 (40%)
- Blacks: 704 (39%)
- Hispanics: 299 (16%)
- Others: 94 (5%)
Why the oversampling of Blacks & Hispanics? They had to make some HUGE adjustments at the top line to get their final results.
