President Bush Job Approval (44%)

Forty-four percent (44%) of Americans approve of the way that George W. Bush is performing his role as President. That’s the highest rating he has received since April 14. This update is based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. With a three-percentage point margin of sampling error, this spike may be little more than statistical noise.

Job approval is trending up. I hope that continues for it will help the midterm elections.

Caution: this spike may be little more than statistical noise. The poll has a plus or minus 3% margin of error.

47 or 41. The media will spin this, give them 24 hours to contact the dnc and get on the same page with a story.

The DMB has already noticed and the all out effort to drive these numbers down is underway. Polls now exist to shape opinion, not to find out what people think or care about.

[Anti-Bubba182]

I never believe that when these polls do everything they can to make Bush numbers suck. Anyway, that is how I will spin it.

[Echo Talon]

exactly why the NYT and LAT wrote that story.

There's a dedicated fax machine in every MSM copy room marked "DNC Only". They usually have to replace the paper several times a day.

Why even poll a Democrat on this subject? I think they should take the poll again, remove any obvious left leaning answers and find out what the real numbers are. I would bet it would be much closer to 55 or 60%, even among conservative Democrats.

Briefly off topic...anyone else noticing slowing at FR? We have storms not far away, so it could be local. Just wondering.

Disaffection of the Republican base is still the reason for his low approval. If he had championed nullification of the Supreme Court's odious Eminent Domain decision, protection of the nation's borders, and ending the invasion of illegal immigrants, his approval would be in the 70-80% range.

What a wasted opportunity--to do what's right, to come to the aid of his country and its citizens, to protect the rights of Americans, and to gain a strong political advantage!

What a silly waste of opportunity.

How could he "nullify" a USSC decision?

... and if Dems win in Nov, he'll be impeached.

who gives a sheeeeet about this worthless stat..?

When it was declining I don't recall any such explanation of maybe the decline was just statistical noise; just an oversight I am sure.

How could he "nullify" a USSC decision?

First step would be to get out the big stick: federal dollars. Remove federal funding from any project - maybe even any governmental body - that uses eminent domain to transfer property from one private citizen to another. How much federal money is used for New Haven's big project? What if they didn't get any of that? What if New Haven lost all federal funding for every project for stealing Kelo's house?

Next, push for a Constitutional amendment and lean on the states to pass their own state constitutional amendments to prohibit this. The bully pulpit is powerful, but only if it is used.

[Savage Beast]

He could have led the charge--and should have. He and the Republican Congressional leadership should immediately have called for Congress to inact legislation to nullify that decision even if it required a Constitutional Amendment.

[Texasforever]

Man you are really pissed. Why?

[Savage Beast]

And see Post #12.

So I guess we can expect a 20 point bounce? The other 20 points coming when he solves immigration?
