Public: Response to Katrina Better Now Than Just After Hurricane Hit Most Americans were not impressed with the initial response to Hurricane Katrina, but according to the latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup survey, majorities of Americans now say that the people and officials involved in the rescue effort are doing a good job. Most Americans believe that government agencies in New Orleans should have been better prepared, and they support the proposal for an independent investigation into the problems with the government's response. But they reject the notion that race or poverty were reasons why the government was slow to respond.

I was wondering why were weren't getting 12 different polls a day, each one worse than the last for Bush. /sarc.
GALLUP POLL RESULTS IGNORED BY THE MEDIACRATS:
Initial Response (total good)
44% (good) George W Bush
39% (good) Residents of New Orleans
38% (good) State and local officials in Louisiana
36% (good) FEMA/federal agencies
NOTE: The President's INITIAL response to Katrina was rated higher than ANY of the other options -- Does anyone remember reading this anywhere . . . nuf said?!
Recent Response (total good)
58% (good) George W Bush
59% (good) Residents of New Orleans
57% (good) State and local officials in LA
56% (good) FEMA/federal agencies
Federal Government:
Despite the Mediacrats best efforts, Gallup discovered that 60% of repondents still had confidence in the federal government's ability to handle natural disasters and 63% had confidence in the government's ability to handle terrorist attacks.
The President's Job Approval:
46% approve
[UP from last week's 45% and last month's 40% . . . similar to Rasmussen's 47% approval (50%/likely voters)and certainly much higher than the BOGUS ratings recently published by AP, Newsweek and ABCNews/WashPost]
The Blame Game:
49% of Americans say the media are spending too much time trying to affix blame
48% say the same about Democrat leaders in Congress
31% say the same about Republican leaders in Congress
[Not all Americans are brain dead sheeple!]
. . . Now you know the rest of the story!

But they reject the notion that race or poverty were reasons why the government was slow to respond.

dont see the numbers for this on their site...
I wonder if these are as accurate as the 2004 election polls.
Gallup Ping
FReepmail me if you want to be on or off the list.
The only polls I've been seeing were taken while they were still rescuing people from the dome.
That 38% one is over a week old.
So besides FR where will these statistics appear? Well, where it counts, in the voting minds of Americans and as usual the flambing liberals will go down in flames.
Ha...I was just reading this when I saw your ping......what do you think of Bush's statement today re accepting blame for the Fed response...I was really proud of him doing that, but now the MSM is twisting(as always) his statement...
The problem is localized in the areas that voted for Gore and Kerry. Most of the rest of the country is quite sane.
Still I'm livid over the poll finding that 72% of black Americans say George Bush doesn't care about black people. This entire nation has devoted itself to saving everyone in that region, and there is nothing in George Bush's record or behavior to indicate he doesn't care about black Americans.
Not to mention G-d fearing, patriotic, law abiding and productive ...
My point exactly. The polls are improving for Bush and that is why they are being supressed.
