wfla radio 970 just reported that Jeb Bush's poll numbers are down. The GOP is spinning that is because he "interfered" in the Schiavo case.

Spin all you want, Terri was murdered by judicial fiat and it happened on Jeb Bush's watch and it is part of his legacy. He turned the ambulance around.

SHAME ON HIS HANDLERS.

I read conflicting articles concerning that Quinnipiac poll. This is the only one that MENTIONS the news media approval rating which makes me believe the media is spinning the poll. Why would people be upset with the mainstream media since they wanted Terri dead as much as the poeple did?

If anyone sees the actual poll, please post it.

Floridians disapprove of Schiavo case handling, poll says

BY MARC CAPUTO

mcaputo@herald.com

With the nation's highest court as the only exception, Florida voters disapproved of the way the governor, his presidential brother, the state Legislature, Congress, the courts and the news media handled the Terri Schiavo case, according to a poll released today.

The biggest loser: The news media, by a 71-23 margin, according to Connecticut-based Quinnipiac University's survey of 1,044 Florida registered voters. The error margin is plus or minus 3 percentage points.

On the other end of the spectrum was the U.S. Supreme Court. Fifty percent of people supported the court, compared to 44 percent who didn't. On the whole, the courts fared better than the legislative and executive branches of government. Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, said the more involved an entity was in the Schiavo case, the more likely it was to be viewed unfavorably.

Congress and the Florida Legislature, both of which had passed legislation aimed at keeping Schiavo alive, also got bad marks from the voters. Only the Supreme Court, which resolutely refused to get involved in the case, won a bare majority support in Florida, Richards said.

However, low marks are not a death kiss: Despite their involvement, President Bush and Gov. Jeb Bush received favorable ratings for their overall job performance.
