Thank you good friend:}}}}}}}}}
As a counter to the comment in the opening article that the President's job approval has slipped, I thought you might appreciate reading RASMUSSEN'S POLL RESULTS FROM TODAY:
[CAVEAT: Currently, ALL pollsters, including Rasmussen, are OVERSAMPLING Democrats/Democrat-leaning Independents -- Gallup's recent poll was particularly outrageous with a sample featuring 51% Democrats/leaners vs 40% Republicans/leaners -- so we must take their results with a BIG 'grain of salt' . . . That said, Rasmussen tends to be a little less biased than the others.]
JOB APPROVAL:
51% [58% among married couples!]
FILIBUSTER COMPROMISE:
Survey of 1,000 Adults
March 26-27, 2005
May 28, 2005--Just 22% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the filibuster compromise reached last week in the judicial nomination battle. A Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 American adults found that 37% have an unfavorable opinion.
. . . Among Republicans, 21% have a favorable opinion of the compromise while 42% hold an unfavorable view. For Democrats, the numbers are 25% favorable and 35% unfavorable.
Twenty-six percent (26%) of Republicans have a favorable opinion of the fourteen Senators who made the deal. Thirty-six percent (36%) of the GOP faithful have an unfavorable opinion
. . . While Republicans are more negative in their assessment of the deal, 29% of voters believe the GOP got the better end of it. Just 21% think the Democrats came out ahead, while 28% said neither party won.
Republicans are evenly divided as to which party came out ahead. Democrats, by a 38% to 19% margin, say the GOP won.
