MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
A large portion of his disapproval has been from conservatives sick of the New Tone and witing for him to fight back.
Once the middle-ground Americans get a grasp of the lengths he has gone to protect us, e.g.: the NSA intercepts, his numbers will skyrocket.
Last time I checked his official approval rating was 51.3% in the national election. That is the only offical approval rating that counts.
Bill Clinton was elected with 48% turnout and received 22%? of the vote. So he received less than 1/4 of the registered voters and yet he was an MSM hero.
Go figure!
ANSWER: The President should stay on offense
There's another poll to verify an upswing. So much for CNN/Gallup.
We just wanted him to be that tough cowboy he was post 9/11. Now, let's hope he keeps it up!
In October-November, there were so many things that went wrong. Katrina. Iraq. Miers. When the Dims' attacks increased, instead of giving strong responses, Republicans & WH looked the other way and did nothing. As if the attacks will go away if they close their eyes. And Ms. Miers appointment didn't help either.
But they also realize that there are ebbs and floes, and Bush must be skillfull in how he doles himself out to the public - - it cannot be a constant thing because then the strategy would grow stale and ineffective. (That is, Bush must sometimes stay out of sight and let his numbers fall.) So therefore it is all a matter of timing. And the timing is usually impeccable. If there is one thing above everything else, politically, that amazes me about this administration it is the patience that these folks have.
(Note to self - - DO NOT EVER get into a poker game with George W. Bush.)
Who are these wishy-washy people whose opinions shift with the wind?
You would think that since they seemingly realized that the President has been telling the truth all along that they would also realize that the democrats and the media have been lying to them.
But their opinions will shift again the next time the democrats/media begin a new campaign of lies aganist the president.
Great pic!
A few words about the president's "approval rating."
51 percent of the people in America could not name the president, much less know what kind of job he is doing.
91 percent know so little about how government works they have not the foggiest idea even what the president's job really is.
The president's approval rating is directly tied to how the media is treating him.
If the lamestream media says the president's approval rating is down, it goes down. If it reluctantly admits that the president's approval rating has improved, it improves.
That is, assuming that polls mean anything.
When your offense is on a roll, you don't change your play calling. The Prez needs to stay on offense and throw it back at the Rats and the MSM's face. The past three days is a prime example of what they need to keep doing.
