[Wright is right!]

"I don't know. He still has a 70% approval from Democrats. I see what looks like the beginning of a plateau in his approval rating...instead of a nose dive it looks more like a gentle landing."

Yes, but when you consider that CNN is Gallup's polling partner, you'll understand why the language is slanted so negatively. CNN has been sounding the klaxon all day on this and the current Generic Congressional Poll which has the Dems at 50% to the GOP's 43%. In light of events and Dubya's numbers, the only way to 'splain the Congressional Generic numbers are loaded polling techniques.

This afternoon, Judy Ruff-Ruff glommed onto the numbers and started pumping Jeff Greenfield to tell her NOW, THIS MINUTE, how many more Demos would be elected this fall than Republicans. Greenfield wouldn't budge, and Ruff-Ruff was chagrined.

loaded polling techniques? You bet you're ass! But think about it rationally... No Prez gets astronomical ratings unless there has been something huge. ie. 91 Gulf, or Sept 11. What I love is that it is now 4/10/02. It's been a while since 9/11/01, and our boy Bush is, in relation to any other prez, knocking them dead with, at the least, a 76% approval rating!!!!!!!!! It's outstanding.
