NEW Gallup: Bush's Soaring Approval More Sustained Than Any In Presidential History

GALLUP ^

[hawaiian]

"President Bush's job approval rating shows no sign of decline. The latest Gallup poll, conducted Nov. 8-11, measures the president’s approval rating at 87%. Bush’s job approval has remained at 86% or higher in seven polls conducted over two months. In the history of Gallup polling, no prior presidents have been able to sustain their high approval levels, with no apparent decline, this long." Full Story

President Bush has always rated high with me, he has exceeded even my expectations however as a leader!

I admit that I am surprised as well. I am so proud of him, and it's been 20-years since I was so proud to be an American. He has the fighting spirit, and he's such a gentleman on top of that.

I think a good ending for you would be that of England's King Edward II.

This is the same thing they said about the NASDAQ market until not that long ago.

The NASDAQ wasn't fighting a terror that its predecessor left behind, all for the sake of political correctness, either.

Love the last sentence of #10. I might have used the word fatuity instead of futility.:^)

[Senator Pardek]

Pity it will be with us in perpetuity.

I agree - just like after WW II.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

Not surprised by this one bit!

[Rocko]

Bump.

Yeah. "They" are.

Your posts grow more paranoid by the day.

Gosh, this is fantastic news. This story could actually cause Molly Ivins to commit suicide, which would be good news too... :o)

Where are the liberals now? They were up front screaming about the great economy the Clintax supposedly gave us. Why are they silent on the fact that he actually left us a recession? Hmmmmmmm?

[AlGone2001]

More government and spending?

Tell us; does the increased security at the airports and the Office of Homeland Security seem like too much government?

[Sabertooth]

'Sright, man!

It's ALL about Bill.

Where's my Kool Aid?

"the polls for Clinton were high all of the time for some reason, although not as high as President Bush! Didn't he leave office with the highest approval rating of any President or some such unbelievable thing?"

Note that, until Clinton, there was never any such thing as Presidential polls for a.) "job approval" and b.) "personal approval". Nor have there been any such bifurcated poll results since.

I suspect that, as Clinton's difficulties mounted, the media who commission these polls asked that the question be split in half, so as allow the public to vent its spleen in one answer and respond with a "well, duh, O.K., I guess" on the other.

After first focus group testing the concept, of course...

Okay, I promise, no jokes about the President "getting it up, and keeping it up longer than any other President." I promise.

[AlGone2001]

Al,

You can stop counting now.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to notice how much that term is being thrown around. And they say there aren't any paranoid wingnuts on FR....
