"Bush approval down to 53%

Given that the Zogby and Gallup Polls were completed during different time periods, it would probably be better to compare Zogby's results with the recent ABCNews/WashingtonPost poll (both were completed on January 18):
Zogby 49% (Excellent/Good) vs ABCNews/WashingtonPost 58% (Approve)
Zogby add 9?!
NOTE: ZOGBY NOTED THAT THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORABILITY RATING IS 58%(+2 unstated) = approximately 60% FAVORABLE!
It's my hypothesis that Zogby's favorability ratings are analogous to Gallup, et als, approval ratings!!
