The cost of gas is high. Want good ratings on the economy? Get the cost down.

"The cost of gas is high. Want good ratings on the economy? Get the cost down."

Or just read Rasmussen's poll (Prez at 51% approval, 2500 adults over 3 days). I'll take Scott's word over the LSM any day!

These polls are meaningless. The reality is once the internals are broken down they are weighted DEM heavy (always).

Furthermore this is all the MSM/DEM's have left.....They win polls....while GWB/GOP win real elections.

Sure, gas prices are hurting the POTUS numbers slightly (but that is just the nature of the beast when a pollster calls someone and spins things negative...and then gives the person being polled an outlet to express and concerns).

These polls are manipulated to death. The the extent in which these polls are tweaked would shock the general public. The reality is they are worthless for having any actual merit or substance...(what they are for is to try and influence the publics mood).

The key is looking at the numbers regarding Iraq (and the GWOT)....this is the MSM baby....they have to keep insisting the "American public is against the war"...."that is is an increasing unpopular war"......So they tweak their polls to ridiculous margins to get these results.

The real reality is every time since Sept 11th, 2001....when the American public have actually had a real poll....they have FOLLOWED GWB leadership!

And asking a silly question like "Do you want American soldiers home" (and basically the entire would in peace)....Of course you are going to get a large % to agree to that.

It is like asking do you want most people to be healthy and happy?

The MSM make these polls for themselves anymore. It is the last grasp they have to keep their sanity.

I'm afraid that isn't going to happen in the near term; probably just the opposite.
