Maybe it's a false perception, but it seems that the CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll usually gives the President a higher approval rating than when Gallup does the poll by themselves.

Curious why you didn't post the 35-29-34 split on respondents. Real easy to made the numbers look bad when you only poll 29% Republicans.

BS. The only poll that mattered was taken in November...and Bush knows it as do these others.

All of these issues were fully vetted then and there was no way to slant those questions on the ballot...in the end it was Bush or Kerry and the outcome was clear...in terms of pure numbers and in terms of percentages. A clear majority supported the President in his mission in Iraq...and I believe they still do.

From the Gallup website:

Thirty-five percent of poll respondents identified themselves as Democrats, 29% as Republicans, and 34% as independents.

Oh btw, you did see that they polled 1000+ ADULTS? That they did not control for Likely Voters or Past Voting records? Too bad for the Bush Haters that about 45%, more on an off year like 2006, don't vote. But I know posting reality defeats the whole purpose that the Chicken Little Freepers have for posting this nonsense so I will shut up now so you all can have your panic attacks

dummycrats have polls, protests, hyped MSM, and letters to the editors...

Republicans, have elections, legislation, policy, judicial appointments, and executive order...

If discussing politics who is up and who is down? LOL

Will somebody with deep pockets PLEASE commission a poll that asks WHY his numbers are dropping? If some people are unhappy because he's not Lefty enough and others are unhappy because he's not Righty enough, does it make a lick of sense to lump them all together like that, as if it were a monolithic opinion?

YAWWWWWWNNNNN

"On March 18, 1981, The New York Times ran a brief report on the Gallup poll at the bottom of page 22: ...As the story went on to point out, not only were Reagan’s "approval" ratings the lowest, but his "disapproval" ratings were nearly three times higher than the ratings of other presidents."

The Dems and the anti-war lefties are just besides themselves with glee.

Their constant carping and criticizing has finally begun to undermine public support for President Bush and the war in Iraq.

Too bad Bush doesn't care and will stick to his committment to fight terrorism and finish the job in Iraq regardless.

Flawed poll or not, it has an impact as well on the public's perception of him. When they see a 40% rating, it will affect their view, their opinion of the president and in turn his policies and the entire republican party. If Karl Rove is half the genius everyone seems to think he is, he has a lot of work to do.
