When the mass electorate has barely an 8th grade education...it's hard to run the country based on polls.

If you did...only a POTUS that plays X-box, has a poster of Jenna Jameson in the WH, drives a custom chopper from West Coast choppers would be popular.

31% rating means he must be doing the right thing, which is often not very popular...as it is, there's what is "right" and what is "easy".

I wonder what his re-election chances are?

When the mass electorate has barely an 8th grade education..

What does it say about Bush when he had 90% approval rating?

.........he must be doing the right thing, which is often not very popular...........

I guess that's exactly why the Founders decided that the electoral college was the only way to bring some sense and balance into the voting population!

What wisdom in the late 1700's! (Of course, the country has prostituted that vision with the direct popular election of the Senate!)

31% rating means he must be doing the right thing

So when he was at 50% does that mean he was doing the wrong thing?
