1. Obviously didn't poll the Texans sleeping in their car?

Geez.........

peace.

[RC]

Or dead in their cars...

[gkhouston]

5. they obviously didn't

my mosquito bites still itch.

How did I know this was a Gallup poll, without even following the link? Results contrary to common sense...? :think:

[Seen the light]

2. WTF indeed

[Seansky]

3. we know it doesn't reflect reality...it'll evaporate again. Look how

bad * is looking and remember methodology used.

[tx_dem41]

21. If "it doesn't reflect reality"......

then the 40% number wasn't real either, was it? The answer is that it reflects general trends within a margin of error (clearly stated with the given poll results). To get all excited from poll-to-poll is ridiculous.

[jsamuel]

24. Every other poll except Rassmussen has been below 42 for a full 3 weeks

Gallup is Bush's PR firm

[tx_dem41]

25. S**t happens.

I'm concentrating on the polls in 11/06.

[Seansky]

28. i don't think the 40 reflected it either, i truly think it was much lower.

[CatWoman]

4. 45% approval isn't something to write home about

:eyes:

[timber84]

6. I liked 40% alot better really thought people where staring to get

it.

[Elwood P Dowd]

10. It should be about 15%

Fundies, freepers, KKK members, dittoheads, and Washington lobbyists would probably make up close to 15%. Everyone else with a brain should be horrified at Bushitler's job performance.

[CatWoman]

11. you'll notice this poll doesn't list the inside numbers

such as number of republicans, et. al who participated.

Gallup always oversamples Republicans.

[Walt Starr]

7. CNN/USA Today Gallup

Hold out. That's been a pretty right wing poll and IIRC, the last numbers were 45% as well in that one.

[timber84]

8. Rasmussen even had him at 40% last week.

[Rainscents]

15. Rasmussen came out with their poll today and nothing changed...

Approve 40 disaprove 54 Sept 28th poll.

[Broken_Hero]

9. I have no idea...

i can't imagine how his numbers went up, gas is not stabilized, but in the terms of "Gas screwing us are contintued to be stabilized" i guess that statement is correct. I don't know, how the hell can anyone see any good in bush in recent months, or ever eludes me greatly, but the common sense of america is now in the pocketbook or in the toilet...mostly that is, common sense is an uncommon thing today.

[Spazito]

12. LOL, it's Gallup ergo no relationship with reality

They over poll republicans, their credibility is at about the same level as is DeLay's and/or Frisk's.

[thecodewarrior]

13. Polls

Go up and down, tell that to any freeper gloating.

[Spazito]

22. LOL, the freepers gloat if they actually posted something that

doesn't have spelling errors, they are easily amused.

[Rainscents]

19. It probably took 20,000 more Republicans for Gallup with the numbers

they wanted... Since Republicans are leaving their base in mass! LOL

[Spazito]

23. Exactly! LOL

[npincus]

14. oh please, up 5 from last week? BS

[Melodybe]

17. Tom Delay and Abu Gharib to be factored into next week's poll

spin that Gallup!

[fleabert]

16. obvious what effect the media has on public opinion..

whoever controls the media, controls the people...

[jsamuel]

18. Gallup: Aug-Sept: 45, then 40, then 46, then 40, now 45

don't be a dumb ass and fall for Gallup's up and down game

[txaslftist]

26. Huh. Sort of gallops up and down.

[Tactical Progressive]

20. If the media didn't cast everything Repubs do

in as favorable and accepting a light as possible, Bush's numbers would be in the low to mid 30's.

If Americans understood exactly what these people are doing and what it is costing America, let alone what it is going to cost them, his numbers would be in the low 20's. This is how an honest media would be acting in America, but that is something we never quite had, we don't have at all now, and I'm sorry to say, we will never have.

Hence low to mid-40's.

[BlueJazz]

27. You hit the proverbial nail on the head.

As long as any criticism is watered down (for Repugs), there's no way that the polls will show what an informed electorate would feel...
