The survey, conducted Dec. 2-6, showed Bush's approval rating at 40 percent, up from 35 percent a month ago, which was the low point of his presidency. His gains primarily came among men, independents, moderates and conservatives. He remains a fiercely polarizing figure, with an approval rating of 79 percent among Republicans, 12 percent among Democrats and 34 percent among Independents.

The poll showed that 57 percent now describe the national economy as good, up from 47 percent a month ago.
It's a trend. We always win when we stay on offense. Playing defense all the time is demoralizing to your supporters and encouraging to your opponents. Do not go into the defensive mode again, Mr. President.
Mark my words, and remember you read it here first.........,.
By the end of March, 2006, President Bush will have approval ratings between 55% - 58%.
His approval rating will go up, simply because he doesn't give a damn about polls.
He just does the right thing!!
GO "W" GO!!
more fake polls
Rasmussen had him at 48% yesterday among registered voters.
Looks like the usually suspects are polling the other usual suspects...
I'll say it again: It's all about the price of a gallon of gas.
Interesting that Rasmussen has Bush's approval at 48% and this NY Times/CBS poll has him at only 40%. Yet even that is a huge improvement over their last poll, a fact I'm sure it kills them to admit. If he went up 5 points in a NY Times/CBS poll, then his actual approval rating probably went up at least 20%.
NYT/CBS polled adults.
Bush's approval among registered voters may be higher, so both polls could be correct.
Americans always value LEADERSHIP!
Precisely.
Adults meaning....18-100 who else are they going to Poll?
Raz also polled all adults not just registered voters
Should read...His gains primarily came among people who bought a clue and those who noticed the Democrats are INSANE!
NYTIMES Poll? Add +5 points :)
Who do these poll takers call? No one's ever called me.
Call me cynical but I would bet that the Times and CBS only call people with Manhattan, Hollywood and Berkeley CA exchanges.
I agree!! And President Bush IS a leader!!
Obviously not among, feminists, radicals, quitters, and congressional demoncrats. Wait that is redundant.
You are on the mark with gas prices being the key. I think the incessant replaying of the poor lady losing her wig and nearly getting trampled to death in the shopping frenzy the day after Thanksgiving left an impression, too.
