The polls have become the news for the MSM. What they fail to mention is how the polls are skewed with more Democrats polled vs. Republicans.

I look for the day when Republicans are no longer polled at all and the disapproval ratings fall to 90%. These idiotic pollsters would do as well to get their results from the CNN/MSNBC on-line polls which are "always" balanced.

The polls may be skewed, but we have seen unrelenting attacks for months with no vigorous response. Listening to Rush laugh all this off yesterday just annoyed me. What happens when you don't answer attacks decisively? More and more people believe them.

Iraq is a prime example. My best estimate on Iraq is that it's a dangerous place, but nothing is going on there that threatens our forces or the democracy we are setting up. Yet I hear even conservative commentators saying Bush's approval is low because "the war in Iraq isn't going well." That's what happens when you hunker down and don't answer your critics.
