Most people are not that political, which comes as a shock to Freepers and DUers alike.
The president has exhibited poor leadership and communication of his agenda in the last 8-9 months or so.
What you say about democrats is true, but it isn't important to this dynamic. In polls taken today, more people identify as dems and independents at the expense of the GOP.
Look, I'm a very conservative person and a registered republican since 1986, but as I told you earlier I self identify these days as an independent today. There are many many people a lot less political than I am who have done the same. It is esentailly a vote of no confidence in the president's leadership of late.
That, of course, is subject to change.
Bump for moonbat bashing.........
And who got it right and who didn't?
Most polls I saw showed Bush winning narrowly. Which polls were off outside the margin of error?
But that doesn't really matter - electoral polls are a different kind of poll entirely. They're meant to predict behavior, and therefore, they use all sorts of past statistics to improve their prediction rate. Thus, they adjust their numbers to reflect past voting trends.
But this isn't about behavior - it's about opinion. Just randomly call a couple thousand people and get their opinion on the President's job approval - it doesn't matter what party they belong to, or whether they vote. If the sample is large enough and adequately randomized, then the answer you get is probably close to the truth.
Well .. I have news for you - the "majority" you agree with IS NOT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS. H E L L O!!
And people think the war is going bad because that's what the media is telling them.
I listen to the men who are actually there in Iraq - they are not saying the same thing. And .. Brit Hume just exposed an interview done by some magazine - and they edited out the good things the person had to say about what is actually happening in Iraq .. WHAT!! There are good things in Iraq - WHO KNEW??
Who are you calling a "moonbat" - me or them??
I just had to laugh about something.
Reagan was a good president and so is GWB, and I would never tear down either of them to try and make the other look better. Just in case that's what you thought I was doing.
Rasmussen and Battleground
Have a good night
Just bumping it up to be used as Moonbat flame fuel later.....
Nice theory but rarely done in fact.
It will be a natural progression of pressure with NATO involved.
The Dems have already committed to being tough guys regards Iran and they can't afford another spineless episode in the foreign policy area.
In Foreign policy, the Democrats have the credibility problem.
Ironically, the Iranian situation gives the Dems a chance to shine their sabers for full effect and reap electoral benefits.
What makes you confident that NATO will be anxious for a military intervention?
What makes you think Dubya has the credibility to lead NATO in the direction you describe?
Like I heard somewhere, nice theory but rarely done in fact.
"He demanding that Tom DeLay resign proves that."
Yeah, Tancredo was really DEMANDING that DeLay step down by saying he thought it best DeLay temporarily stepped aside and that the charges were hyped. What fantasy world are you living in? Or do you just lie?
Tancredo what taking a jab at DeLay because of what Tancredo was doing in supporting real conservatives like Randy Graf over RINO incumbents like Jim Kolbe.
But were those polls Democratic Heavy polls or were they even weight polls?
Well .. the truth is there is they dare to read it.
"Tancredo what taking a jab at DeLay because of what Tancredo was doing in supporting real conservatives like Randy Graf over RINO incumbents like Jim Kolbe."
That is badly butchered.
Tancredo was taking a jab at DeLay because of what DeLay said and did to Tancredo when Tancredo was supporting real conservatives like Randy Graf over RINO incumbents that the RNC supportered, like Jim Kolbe in Arizona.
Iran's behavior is self evident to all and the lunitics on the left have less credibility than W.
With enemies like these W has more credbility than he needs.
Observe te dance in the UN. History is repeating itself.
or maybe we have more faith in talk radio, FR, and our leaders than we do in the MSM polls and the seminar posters who always show up on these threads.
add 5-6% for likely voter vs all adults, and another 5-6% for biased polling questions. and he's right around 50%.
If you add 5-6% for the imminent capture of Osama, 5-6% for the swearing in of the new Iraqi government, 5-6% for the general ineptitude of Democrats, 5-6% for the stock market going over 12000, and 5-6% for those who refuse to answer polls then he's right around 75%.
