Interesting how W's numbers went up after the 527 organizations stopped spending money to promote their anti-Bush propaganda.

[frog_jerk_2004]

I just love how W just seems to kick Klinton's butt everytime in every situation. He is so much more a better man than Klinton. This just infuriates the left. I'm happy with that thought.

[najida]

I hear glass breaking as someone prepares to slit their wrists.

[Smedley]

Without $150,000,000/month negative advertising against Bush, his approval will rise and stick to the 60% range

Recount! Recount!

What's Lil' Tommy Daschle's approval at these days!!

(I am nowhere near done gloating.)

[Anti-MSM]

Nice to see the numbers in the 50's, but I never believed it was 48 at election time (oversampling the Dem's perhaps?). The turnout we had for President Bush is sure not indicative of a sub-50 approval.

[PISANO]

Please enough with POLLS already. It makes no sense that GW is MORE/LESS popular the day after the election as he was the day before. Polls CREATE NEWS where NO NEWS exits!!!

[Soul Seeker]

I'm sick of polls, but have to disagree when you say it makes no sense his popularity rating increased.

It makes perfect sense. The majority like Bush, I would wager the majority even agree more with him than they disagree. The election would seem to prove this point.

Now that Hollywood/MSM/World/Dems have retruned to their natural level of defiance against Bush his ratings will return to their natural levels. The opposition to Bush has always been inflated by those organizations.

[Tensgrrl]

Oh, thanks alot! I thought I had kicked the monkey off my back, but now you give me another poll, and that monkey is back!!!

[Cableguy]

Bush's JA should go up even more now that the media has to show "fair and balanced" coverage, especially if they want any favors from the Bushies for the next 4 years.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

President George W. Bush's job approval is now at 53%, up from 48% measured just before the election.

"Rove, Cheney, Israel Blamed." :)

[utahagen]

I give it a month before some pollster asserts, "50% of the people who voted for Bush regret doing so."

[soccer_linux_mozilla]

I lost my condifence in polls.

There will 19 others tomorrow shoing approval rating from 47-57%

:(

"He is so much more a better man than Klinton"
brother - you said it :)

[Dilbert56]

450,000+ jobs added, stock market back over 10K, and we're on the offense in Fallujah.

[embedded_rebel]

Spend that capital Mr.President
