Sunday August 28, 2005--Forty-nine percent (49%) of American adults now approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. That's the most positive assessment since August 2. It is not clear whether this improvement reflects real change or is merely statistical noise.
Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.
Eighty-three percent (83%) of Republicans Approve of the President's performance along with 23% of Democrats and 36% of those not affiliated with either major party.
...
Cindy Sheehan, the woman who maintained an anti-War protest outside President Bush's ranch, is viewed favorably by 35% of Americans and unfavorably by 38%. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of Americans believe it is time to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq.
During 2004, reports on the President Job Approval were based upon surveys of Likely Voters. Typically, a survey of Likely Voters would report a Job Approval rating 2-3 points higher than a survey of all adults.
On Election Day, the President's Job Approval was at 52%. During all of 2004, the President's Job Approval ranged from a high of 57% in early January to a low of 48% on May 17.
The President's highest rating of 2005 was 54% on February 4.
Yes, Gallup's performance in state polling was abysmal.
I hope they stay out of that business in the future.
I'm not trying to rip on Rasmussen, I like his polling very much.
FAKE POLLS DO NOT TRANSLATE INTO REAL VOTERS!
Well, spreading truth, however it falls out, is a good thing. A very good thing! Enjoy Mass! God Bless America!
I hope so to and the little fact that we have had to amend ours 27 times, even after scrapping the Articles of Confederation and starting all over again! Some people, eh?
"But I never believe polls I disagree with....lol)"
ROFLOL Me neither! ;)
"Cut&run" is not an option.
The press and its negative reporting on Iraq has placed antiwar protests front and center. Pure propaganda.
I'm so glad he'll get re-elected.
Clinton was at about 60% at this time in 1997.
Gas was also $1.20 a gallon.
That has more to do with it than anything.
But we all suffered from clinton's leadership model, that of unethical practices, as the false reporting of stock, as unethical accounting practices in major corporations, reared its ugly face and we almost slipped into a major recession. President Bush deflected this with his policies and demand for accountable business practices.
clinton's playbook was a house of cards.
BINGO
All polls are worthless. Too many ways they can be screwed with. Although, the Rasmussen polls are the least worthless :)
I've observed that there is about a solid 42% of the electorate that would vote for any Clinton, even if he/she had horns and their head spun around 365-degrees.
This is more than likely a fake poll. I don't buy into these off-season polls. The only poll that matters is election day.
