Whoa!! Not that I put much faith in polls, but this is really interesting.

[Kath]

These numbers are nice to see but unfortunely the media will not allow them to be heard

[Kath]

.....and you win the jackpot.

[Reagan Man]

In the long term, PresBush will probably come out of this Katrina aftermath in pretty good political shape. He's not a "teflon" POTUS, but he is highly resilient. Even though the recent WH effort has been poor overall, the President has enough political capital and moxie to rebound. I just wish Bush would use the bully pulpit to his advantage, the way TR and Reagan did.

[StarFan]

My my how very interesting. The poll was taken 9/8 to 9/11 yet only yesterday the doom and gloomers on CNN were telling how GWB may never recover from his lack of leadership handling Katrina and Michael Brown's resignation was too little too late.

[Sparky1776]

I hear you on the race card being played.

I think the Administration should & can turn this around.

Some are trying to blame Bush & the Federal Government for being slow because of the race issue. I think however it exposes the attackers for the racists that they are. They are in a way saying that the Federal Government is all-White, that none of the FEMA staff or the Coast Guard or other Federal rescuers were Black.

My guess is up & down the line there were heroes of all walks of life helping out.

Yet another piece of anecdotal evidence that
CNN, USA Today, and the rest of the "MSM" are
going all out to MANUFACTURE THEIR "NEWS" to
aid and abet the DimoSocialist Perverts Party.

[McGavin999]

Wait until the full truth comes out, and it will. What the MSM forgets is that various towns have local papers that run local stories and they're not all liberal rags. As the stories of the rescues start coming out, as the people who were DOING those rescues start coming home, the truth is going to come flowing out. The only ones who are going to look really, really bad in all this is the MSM and their minions in congress.

Hillary has just the WORST timing. She always seems to climb on the bandwagon (publically) just as the wheels are starting to come off.

[uncitizen]

Only thing is the race card has been overplayed of late. I don't think it's as effective as it once was. May even be counterproductive for the libs at this point.

Actually I am not disappointe in that poll. Consider only 11% of blacks voted for President Bush. That means that 17% of those who did not vote for him thinks he does care. That is actully pretty good consider they fall in lock step with the dems is screaming Bush's fault and Bush doesn't care.

[IrishGOP]

49% of Americans say the media are spending too much time trying to affix blame 48% say the same about Democrat leaders in Congress

Priceless.

[cwb]

I agree, that's depressing and is testament to the mediacrats desire to divide this nation. Oreilly pointed out some interesting facts tonight for the black community:

Since Bush has been president, poverty has dropped from 13.7% (under Clinton) to 12.7% in 2004. Were Clinton spent somthing like $191B on entitlement spending, Bush has spent $386B. This was not only an increase in real dollars, but also a large increase as a percentage of the GDP.

Of course, were BOre often gets one thing right he gets another wrong...claiming that Bush took responsibility for all levels of the failure dealing with Katrina.

[satchmodog9]

So true. Plus, when the pollsters use anything other than registered or likely voters they lose a lot of legitimacy.

[Morose Musician]

Good news for America is always bad news for Democrats.

Imagine the blowhards' collective consternation over the weekend as rescuers discovered nowhere near the number of corpses predicted by the racist Democrat doomsayers who believe that African-American people are too stupid to fend for themselves when confronted with a life-threatening emergency.

The backlash these lowlife political hacks will ultimately experience will be reminiscent of the Wellstone Memorial Service. Democrats who try to use natural disasters and other random misfortunes to their political advantage will suffer because Americans are fundamentally fair-minded and moral.

[Soul Seeker]

I share the attitude.

11% of the black population voted for Bush. More than double do not believe the racial bias' thrown at Bush. I take that as progress if one follows the assumption that a 90% lock step voting pattern is indicative of a shared mindset in re: to Bush. There is room for inroads here politically, and assume those displaced by Katrina moving to neighborhoods of different political persuasions? A person even noted they once hated whites, but not now, not since their reception in Houston. The promise of a slow sea change is there, whether we capitalize on it remains unknowable.
