If Bush* job rating freefall is halted in the next set of polls...

[TruthIsAll]

The next set of polls should tell us a lot. He was exposed as a dunce as never before in the "speech" and press conference. We all know this, but more and more people are learning every day that they've been had. So Bush should continue to fall, perhaps under 47%.

If on the other hand, he rebounds or stays at his current 48.25% average rating, we will know that the media won't let him fall any further and is propping him up for the Diebold theft.

Remember, his poll numbers have fallen in 29 out of 31 months since 9/11. They rose just twice: when he invaded Iraq and when Saddam was captured. With no poll rigging, he is on his way down to 40%.

1. The press could be propping him up for another reason....

which is that they want a close horse-race right through Election night. You know the press, those whores, they don't care about anything except market share and ratings.

[napi21]

2. Actually that could be true.

The Press NOR anyone else really wants the next 6+ months to be boring. I do think it's possible that the media is proping the poll numbers just to maintain interest in the campaign.

I don't remember how Bob Dole's numbers looked prior to the 96 election. Do you?

6. 96 and 84 polls for the loser showed a loser. This time round I am into

right wing GOP media is preparing us for Diebold vote theft.

3. Only Osama can save him now

4. Thanks for the graph

Very revealing. If I were Karl Rove I'd start lining up my lecture gigs for '05...

5. Tech Trends

As a student of charting and technical analysis, the recent low is a break of previous lows and implies further downside, even if there are temporary upticks along the way.

Looks bad for GeorgeCorp.

7. Changing my 37% prediction date

Few weeks ago I predicted George's approval rating would be 37% by Sept.
By the looks of the slippery slope, I wish to formally move this date up to June 1, 2004.
Thank You

8. I disagree. He is falling about 1-2% per month. At that rate...

he will be 2-4% lower than he is now, or 44-46%.

If he is at 37% on June 1, I expect he either will resign or be impeached.

Or Armaggeddon is imminent.
