It might be time to wake up and stop blaming the media for all of Bush's unpopularity.
I was sketching the consequences of a war with Iran.
"The base blew up after Schiavo...."--and have forgotten about it.
" Miers finished it, and it's a done deal."--Forgotten also, save for it's joke utility.
It's low at 43% but not CBS FAKE at 34%.
Maybe they were using a mirror to get the opposite numbers.
In regards to going to war with Iran, 34% approval rating in a biased poll does not mean a thing. The President is the Commander in Chief and when we go to AIR WAR against nuclear Iran who can give its nuclear weapons to terrorists, change the whole equation in the Middle East, threaten to destroy Israel, then the majority of Americans will rally behind the President.
Conservatives complaining about the MSM are just like DU-ers screaming 'the Diebold machines are fixed !'.
Excuses. It is the responsibility of the political leader to have a message. It is his responsibility to communicate and not spring ugly surprises on the public. It is his responsibility to have well thought out policies that can be defended in simple language.
February Polls are key.
Just ask GALLUP.
GALLUP POLL: February 16-17, 2004
KERRY 55% - BUSH 43%

We'll see. :-)
No problem. When your whole campaign is built on a lie it's doomed. The truth wins out.
Yes :)
I wouldn't believe CBS if they told me the sun came up in the east.
Since many or most polls are media funded, I pay little to no attention to any of them. They are produced to obtain a certain result. Hence they are without credibility and mostly not worth the time pondering.
When I hear ordinary everyday Americans complaining about the President in terms of national security, I'll start thinking he's got a problems. So far, that quite simply has not been my experience. Even now, quite the contrary and BTW I'm in fly over country. Coastline and DemocRAT controlled cities haved bitched since day one, hence they don't count.
You always put so much energy into a See BS poll? Have trouble sleeping at night? Indigestion, perhaps? Life's pretty short to spend in misdirection.
I respectfully disagree. The majority of Americans believe Bush is full of ****. You think they are going to rally around a *third* war?
You either ignored or don't care to discuss the fact that the old, poor, and indigent are supplied with heat, by various local government agencies.
Many people, in America, do NOT live where it is cold in the winter.
You have, as yet, NEVER been correct in your prognosticating. I doubt that this time shall prove to be different.
I'm not a "bushbot", but hey, I don't mind being called one..................by the likes of you! LOL
So no poll would ever convince you that the president has a popularity problem?
Absolutely.
The love that the rest of OPEC has for the Emir of Dubai in your opinion is truly heartwarming. Inexplicable in any rational terms, but heartwarming nonetheless. Why should 'this country' or 'that country' forego income over him ? And again, the corrupt elites of Saudi Arabia have a vital security interest in their relationship with Bush. They don't want to make him look bad.
"I've been laid off. We have no heat this winter. I'm going to have to file for bankruptcy. But we bombed Iran so it was worth it."
Seriously ? Is that how you think real world adults think ?
The President popularity among adults is around 45% and around "likely voters" (they are the one who matters in politics) is around 50%.
Well, the MSM also thinks ( and I use that word loosely ) that Hitlery! is the smartest woman who ever lived. LOL
They don't slumber that lightly.
