I see these polls...and wonder if freepers are the only "fans" of George left??
Of course, that is a smaller percentage now than ever before, also....sigh.

JUST REMEMBER:
1.) Job approval ratings correlate with the public's perception of the economy (i.e., gas prices) NOT the public's perception of the President!
2.) 62,000,000 people voted for President Bush in 2004 . . . Today, most pollsters indicate that 70%-80% of Republicans/Republican-leaning Independents approve of the President's job performance and 90% approve of the President as a person.
Bottomline:
over 43,000,000 people approve of the President's job performance
over 55,000,000 people approve of the President as a person
. . . These numbers dwarf the audiences of Rush, Hannity, Savage, Ingraham COMBINED! . . . I think we're in pretty good company!!
If you're concerned about the Fox Poll, the following is all you need to know:
The FOXNEWS/OPINION DYNAMICS poll 'pushed' the President's approval to 'a new low' by increasing the spread between Democrats and Republicans.
Today's poll:
40% Democrats
32% Republicans
-8 (advantage Democrats)
Last poll (4/5/06)
39% Democrats
34% Republicans
-5 (advantage Democrats)
Surprise, surprise: Opinion Dynamics oversamples Democrats by an additional 3 points over the last poll and, just like magic, the President's JA rating falls by an additional 3 points!
FYI: OPINION DYNAMICS was the LEAST ACCURATE pollster for the 2004 election, calling the election for Kerry and missing the margin by almost 6 points -- not even Zogby did as poorly!! Conversely, RASMUSSEN was among the MOST ACCURATE pollsters for the 2004 elections . . . 'nuf said!
