Tom Daschle is saddened, deeply saddened.

Woohoo!

Am I supposed to understand all those numbers? Numbers give me a headache. All I know is that what the democrat presidential candidates are doing ISN'T WORKING!! Yahoo! Go, Bush.

Thank you for posting these. For all who review these statistics, keep in mind that a 55-45 split in a presidential election produces a "landslide" result. Think Johnson over Goldwater; think Reagan over Carter; think Mondale; think Dukakis.

Unless President Bush screws up in some major way between now and then, he wins by a landslide in the election of 2004, REGARDLESS of his opponent in that election.

although the concern over jobs is very serious in my opinion, I expect another bump when 401K statements close and are issued after 9/30.

Nice work!

Now, if he would just do something to excite his base.

I have never seen a president's supporters more obsessed with approval ratings than with this one. I thought the mindless Klinton groupies were bad about it.

I've always maintained that Bush's support is very thin, at least for the last 2 years. Basically, all this "support" is a result of the post-9/11 tramua experienced by the sheeple. Once the democrats rally behind their candidate (whom I believe will be Hitlery), his support will continue to erode further, IMHO.

If, on the other hand, I'm wrong, then the question becomes why isn't he advancing a conservative agenda if he is so popular?

If the Republican party isn't capable of pursuing an agressive limited-gov't agenda when they control both houses of congress, and have a popular president, when will they support a limited-gov't agenda?

If there were more jobs he would be 15% higher.

Hopefully he's found a bottom somewhere in the low 50s. I'm not done worrying yet though. I'm not sure the rope-a-dope thing can be called a success this time around. The anti-war left has seized control of the narrative and getting back is going to take a lot of work and a good meassure of luck.

But I was saying the same thing a year ago, so we'll see.
