Results also show a majority of voters (51%) says President Bush deserves to be re-elected for another term in 2004. In contrast, 28% say it is time for a new president, and another 20% are not sure. Republicans are staunch supporters of Bush deserving re-election (86% re-elect, 4% someone new) compared to Independents (42% re-elect, 27% someone new, 32% not sure) and Democrats (27% re-elect, 51% someone new, 22% not sure).

Hey Zogby...we know you're lurking out there...here's a better question (that also checks one's sanity) for your next 'anti-W' polling efforts:

Who would you rather see in the White House after the next Presidential election in 2004;
a) Hillary Rodham;
b) Al Gore;
c) Tommy Daschle;
d) Dickie Gebhardt, or;
e) George W. Bush?

Bush more than deserves to be re-elected in 2004. Historical necessity demands that he must be re-elected, to have a lasting impact. The surrender monkeys that make up the only other political party that has even a remotely viable possibility of taking the White House away from Dubya in 2004 (minor political parties are not even on the scope, except as a factor that may shift enough votes to provide another minority Democrat) still lust for the opportunity to seize the Oval Office. To no good end.

The path to an encore for Bush is strewn with broken glass. You know what you have to do. If you can't bring yourself to personally vote for Bush, do the next best thing and register as a Green, and support the Green candidate who will sap the most strength from whatever sacrificial lamb the Democrat party puts up in 2004. That should skew the demographics for the left-liberals so badly they may not recover for a generation. If ever.

Old Zogby is never gonna ask that question...

Can't bring myself to go green. Ron Paul, however, might make a good write in. He's about the only member of congress that expresses any respect for our Constitution, which seems to be the message conservatives and liberals both need to hear.

This PR seeks to disguise the big news...that Bush has a FIFTEEN point margin among independents.

The way it is constructed attempts to paint that number as low by grouping after "compared to", as if a fifteen point lead is not "staunch support."

Bush as seen this country througha recision and a terror attack at the same time. Either one of these events would have been hard for a lesser man to to handle, while we're not out of the woods yet, to see Bush shepard the nation through these very tough times speeks volumes of his leadership ability.

He's a STATESMAN, and a good man, and together his 2nd term will be among the most fruitful in US history.

to have a lasting impact.

A lasting impact on what?

[Timesink]

While the underlying data show this is very good news for Bush, I'm still amazed that the overall number is only 51%. I know that in these sorts of polls taken 2 1/2 years ahead of time, a lot of people are always reticent to commit to anyone, but geez, there's a WAR on, you know?

NOTE: you can't get to the actual tabulation page, and I'll bet the reason is because the numbers are much better...

If you don't believe that Dubya has and will have a lasting effect, start reciting "Allahu akbar" right now, begin agitating for all women to wear burqa dress, and all men to wear their beards at the specified length.

This is a struggle for the very soul of America. If your are not prepared to defend, prepare to surrender.

[Libloather]

We just paid good money to have Dubya's pipes cleaned. Keeping him around as long as possible would be a simple return on investment...

As long as Americans are armed and protected by a Constitutional form of government I have no fear of becoming an islamic, or any other authoritarian, dictatorship.
One of the Russian views on the absurdity of taking over the US was that there was no way to control a population as well armed as the American people.

compared to Independents (42% re-elect, 27% someone new, 32% not sure)

Well, that's why they're Independents- they can never make up their fricking minds!

If you can't bring yourself to personally vote for Bush, do the next best thing and register as a Green, and support the Green candidate..

Good idea for those who will vote for Bush to do the same. Here is something else we can do to mess up the Democrats.

[CyberAnt]

His second term will only be fruitful if we can get those idiot dems out of office in Congress; and ... a few more Republican governors wouldn't hurt either.
