I as a Republican want my president to be likable, reelection time or not.

Likeable? Why? That's WAY down on my list of qualities a leader needs to have to lead well. Not that I actually believe the opinion polls on this one.

Even on this Forum, he only garners about a 67% approval rating.

Disapproval of him here, however, is for considerably different reasons than what will be cited in polls.

Exhibit A: Bush's policy on the border and illegal immigration.

Though come to think of it, that's probably not helping Bush out much in the polls, either.

Right, 30% disapprove because he's too conservative. 30% disapprove because he is not conservative enough. 40% figure he is pretty much doing what is possible under the current political conditions.

When you are in a non-election cycle, the disapproval numbers of a president go up because of the dissatisfaction of people who are actually on his side. If it were an election cycle that segment goes down because of comparison to potential opponents.

CNN can always be counted upon to get out the lies ahead of any Presidential news conference. Strange that they didn't take this poll AFTER the press conference tonight!

As in CNN has succeeded in what seems to be its selfdeclaired task of reporting anti-Bush rhetoric.

OH OH!! Mommy and Daddy Bush better stop spending so much time with their new son Clinton and spend more time giving GW some advice.

Looks like the grifter's poll numbers are going up while GW's are going down.

Or could it be that because of this 'buddy buddy' love of Clinton everyone is judging ALL of the Bush family in a different light?

The left never fails to write garbage that always attracts attention. The President is working hard to finish a job with absolutely nothing but negatives from the MSM. He knows pulling out now would simply delete all that has been done so far. America has always and will always be short on patience. It is a virtue for sure to stay the course. I notice this morning the press is saying that GITMO isn't what they have been reporting, and maybe the press needs to improve on how deep they go for the facts...wow, fat chance!! Do you suppose they will send an earstwhile reporter to Iraq to get the facts?? Never happen!!

The poll results were based on interviews from Friday to Sunday with 1,009 American adults.

The old Friday to Sunday interviews just to make sure CNN is more likely to get the negative answers they want.

But barely a third of those polled -- 34 percent -- said the United States is winning the conflict against a persistent insurgency; 14 percent said the insurgents were winning and 50 percent said neither side had the upper hand.

So 84% do not believe the insurgents are winning.

"Polls failed in 2004..."


I like to think we FReepers had a lot to do with that failure. In the days leading up to the election I voted in favor of John Kerry on nearly every one. I did it along with a large number of FReepers just to show the fallibility of polls. When it came down to the election I voted for Bush in the one poll that really counted.

He's in trouble. No effort to stop the illegals, spineles RINOS in the Senate, poor advise from his advisors and failure to take on the un-American DEMS are costing him his Presidency. He should get professional spokespersons to tell what's right in Iraq.
