Despite rantings from agenda-driven pollsters and their media masters to the contrary, the President's job approval rating is no different today than it was on November 2, 2004 when he received more votes than any other presidential candidate in history (and a higher percentage of the vote than Bill Clinton received in either of his election bids)!!!
According to Rasmussen, the President's job approval rating among 'adults' stands at 49% today -- if one adds the 3 points that Rasmussen indicates is appropriate in order to approximate the rating from 'likely voters', the President's job approval rating is actually 52%!!!

BTW: Job approval ratings are NOT popularity ratings. To determine a president's personal popularity, one must review his LIKABILITY RATINGS -- and GWB has always had a likability rating between 60% and 70%!!!
FYI: The President's ratings will jump around over the next several weeks until gas prices settle into a predictable range. So don't panic when you see Gallup and AP announcing another NEW LOW for the President -- always remember, when it comes to job approval ratings IT'S ALWAYS BOTH THE 'ECONOMY STUPID' AND THE 'SAMPLE STUPID'!!
