Politicians' approval ratings rise -- except for Davis

Excerpt:
Californians are feeling better and better about the job performances of all of their elected officials except one: Gov. Gray Davis.
A Field Poll released Wednesday shows near-record high job approvals for the U.S. Congress and Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein. President Bush recorded skyrocketing marks in a recent Field survey. Even the Legislature's image has partially recovered from a dip it took earlier this year in the heat of the state energy crisis, according to Wednesday's poll.
But the Democratic governor has not shaken his energy woes. A poll Field released a week ago showed Davis still stuck at 38 percent job approval, with 51 percent disapproving. A year ago, Davis won approval from 57 percent.
"It's striking to me that at a time when you have record job performance ratings ... the governor is left out," said pollster Mark DiCamillo.
Well, neither do I. And that's bigger news, because I'm confident I've realistically got a better shot at it than Gray Davis.
If you re-read his words it leaves you wondering why they wrote the story. Davis says he won't rule out running for President. That is far from a headline of "Davis Doesn't Plan to Seek Presidency" since most people who end up running never tell ya they are gonna run to begin with :)
Yeah, I see the difference.
I think he is taking the cue from the other congenital liar, Hillary. She also got a lot of attention saying she wasn't going to run. Uh-huh.
It worked well for her. If he ran he would at least have to compete with her, as well.
Davis is contemplating suicide?
Maybe life in California is getting better!
I was looking forward to seeing Grayout Davis in a primary contest with Hillary. Something tells me I still might.
