The only polls I worry about open in 9 months. Who gives a damn what the President's day-to-day rating is almost a year before the election? It's not like he is up for re-election tomorrow (or at all).
At the end of the day, people gotta go into a booth and flip a lever for the (D) or the (R). The Donks have proven themselves to be completely non-serious, which is a fatal flaw in such serious times.
It is one thing to gripe about the President. It is an altogether different thing to elect some Democrat moron.
Here is a question in the current Zogby poll:
Which event has had a more significant impact on the U.S.? The 9/11 terror attacks or Hurricane Katrina?
9/11-type attack
Hurricane Katrina
Neither
Not sure
