Yep. The Gallup/CNN/USAToday poll had his approval rating at 57%.

Fox reported a poll last week that had the presidents aproval at 57%.This was not a Fox poll,I missed who it was.BTW when will people realise that the vast majority of the polling is done by pollsters that hate president Bush.

"There was some poll out yesterday (gallup ?) that said the presidents approval was at they highest it has been seen Sadam Husein was captured."

I saw that same poll. I think this was one was all about a "Quick! We need a counterweight to President Bush's approval ratings are going up" poll.

On February 8, 2005, the following news was posted: Bush gets highest approval rating since Saddam's capture: poll. That was a USA-Today/CNN/Gallup poll.

So here we are, all of THREE DAYS LATER, and we're told the exact opposite by an AP/Ipsos poll.

I don't believe either one. Time and time again, I have pointed out that:

1. There is no objective criteria by which the public can evaluate the accuracy of this type of between-election polls.

2. During the last several election cycles, we saw polls that were all over the place and highly questionable. The most recent debacle of the 2004 exit polls should teach anyone willing to pay attention that modern political polls are GARBAGE.

3. Modern political polls are used to manipulate public opinion, not to impartially report it.
