Give us Barabbas!
When a pollster asks the right track wrong track question to a GW Bush Christian like myself,the answer is no,the country is headed in the wrong direction.You have your abortions and gay marriage talk.You have Democrats running free :) etc etc.
So I think many like myself that LOVE AND SUPPORT the President answer that the country is headed in the wrong direction.JMHO
add atleast 10 points in the Presidents favor to any poll out there.
What do you expect when you have a President who is verbally challenged and couldnt talk his way out of a paper sack. The guy is a communications failure.
AOL-AP, world-renowned for their sleazy business practices and lack of ethics, headlines the article, "Do You Think President Bush is Honest?," thereby casting aspersions on his honesty, and prejudicing the reading of the article.
They would like us to think that it is just another careless oversight by some bumbling junior editorial assistant -- rather than the deliberate rage and frustration of a frustrated middle-aged wannabe going nowhere in todays news industry.
It's like shit calling everything else "stink."
....and all the libs eat this up....lets Bush bash some more....I'm sure there's more out there to blame Bush for....
All the libs are gearing up to put Heir Klinton into office....
Ignore all of the obligatory, agenda-driven push polls that the MSM will manufacture in advance of Tuesday's SOTU speech.
[Newsweek is 'out of the box' first. Their predictably biased poll in debunked by patrick ruffini here: http://www.patrickruffini.com/2007/01/20/reweighting-newsweeks-08-poll ]
Below, you will find results from the only poll that counts, THE BATTLEGROUND POLL 2007:
PRESIDENT BUSH
42% JA rating
45% Favorability rating
[FYI: For survey respondents, job approval and favorability ratings have become synonymous!]
61% LIKABILITY RATING
[FYI: The Battleground Poll remains the only poll that consistently tracks a president's 'likability rating'. All MSM pollsters produced likability ratings until their boy Clinton became president and couldn't get his LR above 40%!]
BattleGround Poll: Republican Strategic Analysis
By Ed Goeas
"Continuing a trend seen throughout his Presidency, the (President's) personal approval rating remains high at sixty-one (61%) of likely voters approving of him personally, a sign that the President has an opening to at some point move his image and JA rating net positive. On this measure 93% of Republicans and 56% of Independents approve of him. The President continues to have a considerable amount of personal good will not only with his base Republican voters, but also with those key Independent voters."
Lots of great information/analysis at

Polls, schmolls. I have yet to be called for one of these. Anyone else???
This is what the relentless big lie campaign has done. Bush is a straight shooter. Every word that he said about Iraq reflected the consensus intelligence estimates both here and abroad. Every bit of that assessment was shared by the dems at the time, even those who opposed the decision to invade Iraq. But all that has been flushed down the memory hole while "Bush lied" runs amuck.
Electing a Dem congress and senate is the "wrong track" in my book.
The problem is we stopped, and we lost forward momentum - we forgot the buzz words from the liberal play book:
ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!
