Hi Deb,

I'm surprised you asked. The source is one you yourself cite! See the FOX News/Opinion Dynamics Poll:

http://www.pollingreport.com/wh04gen.htm

In fact, it's the very first statistic reported. How could you have possibly missed it?

Maybe FOX News keeps these numbers off the air because they want to spin things for Bush? I don't know; I don't have a TV.

My, you are a sarcastic fellow, aren't you?

Those 'deserve to be reelected' numbers are misleading because many people think it's too early to have made up their minds yet.

The 60% approval rating at this stage of his term is what counts......and it's remarkable.

Maybe you could tap on the wall at the prison.

I didn't recognize the polling results because you incorrectly cited/analyzed the data! [I'm going to assume that you did so unintentionally!]:

CORRECT CITATION:
According to the most recent FoxNews/Opinion Dynamics poll, 47% of respondents indicated that the President deserved re-election; another 13% were undecided (Depends/Not Sure). BOTTOMLINE: 60% of the respondents to this particular poll were willing to give President Bush 'the benefit of the doubt' in 2004 -- that's all we can ask for 15 months in advance of the election!

I clicked on your link and pulled this to better explanin. The 7/03 means just as it says above July of 2003, the number under that in the poll you cited is 8/01 which means August 2001. GET A LIFE!!!!!

Check your source. The numbers to which you refer were TWO YEARS AGO!

[nopardons]

The second date, that of 8/i refers to AUGUST 2001 ; not August 1,2003.

Nice attempt at a smear, but you're dead wrong, in total error, and really need to learn how to read a chart/poll. ;^)

I'm surprised you can't read better. It didn't give your numbers at all. You are obviously looking at August 2001 rather than the latest poll.
