This is a direct reflection of nothing more than the sheeple paying less per gallon at the pump. If it hits 1.99 in late October, he will be at 53%. A graph of his approval rating is an almost reverse of the graph of pump prices. Gas prices

47%

Bump!

The MSM come election night is going to be reporting on the GOP holding Congress and as a mandate for Bush. It will be reported as a huge blown opportunity for the Dems.

There is a lot of time to make sure this happens.

In another Rasmussen poll:Katie Couric: 46% Have Favorable Opinion Of New CBS Anchor

[ArGee]

Crikey - just yesterday his approval rating was at 46% and disapproval at 52%.

Rove better slow down or this will peak too soon to usher in a Pubbie sweep in November. </sarcasm>

Shalom.

I hope BOR sees this. Last night he was harping about it being in the 30s.

First off, PresBush is getting his message out and people are responding positively. The President is getting a bump from the 5th anniversary of 9-11. Americans believe Bush has done a good job of protecting the homeland from further terrorist attacks over the last five years. Throw in a significant decrease in gas prices, and people are beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel. If this trend continues, the Democrat's chances of taking back the House are slipping away with each passing day.

I think the addition of Tony Snow to the staff has had something to do with this rise in his numbers. Ever since he started there, we've been seeing more of Dubya - in essence, we've been fighting back...finally!

ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

9/11 - Aggressive campaigning - People starting to pay attention instead of just believing MSM lies.

The real approval rating is actually higher.

We are now in what I like to call "Diebold Range".

"Oh, it's probably just gas."

Nevertheless I like to think it is a teeny bit due to using the words Islamic fascism.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...we may even pick up some seats, never mind losing the majorities to the Rats. The closer it gets to election time, the less the voters like Democrats.

[Almondjoy]

I've begun to think of my party like my child. Sure I don't like everything that they do.. but giving them up for someone's elses child just isn't going to cut it. At the end of the day I still love my child.

Sure there is no perfect Republican in the world. But it sure is better than taking on the demon child the neighbor is raising down the street.

[tobyhill]

The MSM and Rats will be working OT to find or create something to get those numbers down since they believe the mid-terms ride on how President Bush is perceived.

[CyberAnt]

This new poll is very interesting to me. You should notice that the poll was conducted with ADULTS - which means to me that if the poll had been conducted with LIKELY VOTERS - Bush's approval numbers would have been well over 50%.

The pollsters still cannot bring themselves to give this President his due.

[gridlock]

We should have a Navy-style Crossing the Line ceremony when President Bush goes over 50%. We can dress up like Karl Rove and haze all the newbies (I mean wogs!)

Any Navy guys out there with details on how one of these things works?

History shows Abe Lincoln falling and rising in polls. He managed ignore his distractors and save the Union.

This is one Southerner that has to admire that. George Bush is not likely to back down either.

[RebekahT]

They never poll me!!

[ConservativeStatement]

If this upswing continues, there is going to be a public call to amend the Constitution and allow for a third term Presidency at which point the collective heads of the wildebeest Senator from NY and her crowd will combust on national TV.
