I noticed yesterday, that there was a poll somewhere (can’t recall where)on “Free Republic”, that said that Pres. Bush was only 2 percentage points behind even Barak Obama in a poll! I think it was a poll that said that 48% still support Obama as pres. But get this: They also said that Bush got 46%! That was a pleasant shock! My Dad last night said, after I told him about poll, that he personally thought that Obama’s percentage should’ve been much lower than that! He’s an old southern Democrat that supported him (and his Dad, Bush 41).

Yes, that was a PPP poll . . . PPP is a Democrat polling organization so I’m sure the actual numbers are closer to 50% President Bush and 43% Obama. [As a standard rule of thumb, for most polls (with the possible exception of Rasmussen) you can add 5 points for President Bush/the Republian and subtract 5 points for Obama/the Democrat.]

Regardless, I agree with you, this is VERY pleasant news indeed!
