CNN/Gallop has the President at 65% for the same two days of polling. Newsweek has had him consistantly lower than other polls - ever since 9-11. They always seem to be about 5% lower than everybody else.

Watch it go up big time after 9/11. Bet we see ton`s of Bush bashing between now and 9/11. There going to imply that he`s confused, has no plan, his people are divided, can`t get any cooperation from other countries, bla, bla, bla. We will see lotsa noise from unnamed sources and all the Rats will repeating this trash.

A few days ago I heard Bush was losing US support for war. If it's 62% now, what was it then?

It depends on how much one pushes the "push poll", a favorite technique of the libs. Notice how they also report combinations of responses to skew the overall perception:

[Eightyfive percent say it's somewhat important (24%) to very important (61%) for President Bush to get Congressional approval first; 86 percent say it's somewhat important (28%) to very important (58%) for him to get support from most of our European allies; 81 percent say it's somewhat important (26%) to very important (55%) to get formal support from the United Nations; and 81 percent say it's somewhat important (30%) to very important (51%) to get support from most of the Arab countries that are friendly to the United States.]

This technique was assiduously avoided during the Clinton administration. Hence they would report events along these lines: Only 20% are highly in favor of impeaching Clinton, to mask the fact that 55% were highly for or generally in favor of impeachment.

Maybe Newsweek is polling their own staff ... :-)
