Rasmussen Reports ^


In the Breaking News sidebar.

Confidence in the War on Terror and the economy have also improved significantly in recent months.

DIMS: "We are deeply saddened..."

Finally-the numbers are no longer moving backwards, they are moving forward.

The President needs to stay on the offensive and keep talking to the American people about how things will work in Iraq.

[Jeff Head]

Sorry, I do not believe that the true feelings of American citizens are so fickle and change as these polls indicate. It depends on who is asking, who is asked, and what they ask.

The only poll that counted was taken last November. It's outcome was voiced by a clear majority won by the largest voter turnout in our history. That is the only poll I will run with until the next Presidential "poll" in 2008 and iss also the one the President certainly should base his administration's policy on.

And I believe he is and applaud him for doing so.

For the first time ever I was called by a polling service last night.

It was Gallup and I was fully prepared to be asked slanted questions etc. Didn't happen. The interviewer went out of his way to remain neutral.

I was favorably impressed.

[DerekinTurk]

48%???? I live in Turkey and was watching bbcworld and they can not stop talking about how his approval ratings are in the low 30's. Last week one of the reporters said 20's. It is nice to see that the only english news agency I have access to on the tv is accurate.

(That is sarcasm....)

[kittymyrib]

Let's see if these poll numbers will somehow be worked into every headline and news story of the msm, as was the case with his 36% rating. I'm sure they, being unbiased as they claim, will give this equal play.

[Baby Driver]

And climbinG! On it's way to 51%!!!

[libs_kma]

This report came from Rasmussen, but it'll be a cold day in hell before the lame stream media reports good numbers for GWB.

So, cince we've heard the last about sinking poll numbers they'll act like it never existed, they never said it, and if they did say it, it was only because President Bush is a doody-head. /sarc

Kind of like when they were trying to say the sky was falling with gas prices..now that they came back down, nothing.

They'll find something else to whine about soon. They always do.

[TheForceOfOne]

Get Zogby on the line, he's asleep at the wheel. Some Liberal is going to get axed today for letting good news get out.

There will be a CNN/USA Today poll out ASAP to dispute this poll.

[DM1]

Lets hope this keeps going up
i will feel better about 06 if we can get Bushie into the mid 50s range of approval

[yoe]

President Bush has been pilloried from the Socialists on the left along with the MSM & MSP and that propaganda is coming home to roost as the country grows during war time and the WOT/Iraq is seeing a great deal of success. Some in the Democratic Party have chosen to stand with the terrorists as they did with Arafat and now Saddam. Pelosi and Reid are their standard bearers with Biden, Kennedy, and Boxer, deriding their country and President on the Sunday talk shows. None of the latter understands or are willing to admit that Team Bush unequivocally tell the truth; the American people understand the plain patois of Bush- American speech, rather than the ‘nuanced’ elite Eastern ‘speak’ of the Kerry cabal….a sorry anti-American lot if ever there was one!

GO PRESIDENT BUSH!

[Soul Seeker]

The President earns Approval from 80% of Republicans, 20% of Democrats, and 41% of those not affiliated with either major party. Fifty percent (50%) of men approve of the President's job performance along with 46% of women.

I'd have to go look at the last few polls for the Indy and Dem approval numbers, but I'm pretty certain he wasn't at 80% approval from Reps for a little while. Now we're getting back into his normal territory. The president always had consistently (enviable for other pols) high standing among his base. That he lost that approval is why the numbers dropped. It's returning with force now. I'm in the Indy category and my approval was strongly back a few weeks ago.
