Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?
Based on National Adults
Up For Grab States 2004 Oct 29-31

The Blue State #'s are: 41-55-4, by comparison.

That is incredibly low. (Of course, I can't imagine who those 43/100 morans are, but historically, that is quite low for a sitting president.)
Edit - spelling

6. 43% approval not disapproval. |
|
And this is from Gallup of all places. You don't win elections with numbers like that. You don't even come close.

8. The scary part is the # of "Anybody But Kerrys" |
|
People who disapprove of Bush and the way the country is going, but will still vote for Bush in order to "protect the country from Kerry."

11. I have yet to talk to a 'Bushie' I come across occasionally... |
|
who speaks highly of Bush, much less enthusiastically. I believe the 43% approval includes TEPID support, which equates to generally less motivation to vote.
All indicators all around simply show Kerry cleaning up...could we all be wrong??

14. If those are Gallup internals, Bush cannot win. He cannot. |
|
They can try to steal it, but these trends are too poor for him to recover. GOTV and we're talking landslide!

17. Let me take a stab at explaining this - Devil's Advocate Style |
|
I know conservatives very well, though I do not consider myself one.
Speaking from the conservative perspective, which is the majority perspective in the US, I would have a real problem with Kerry. It's not like he purports to be a middle-of-the-road kind of guy. Rather, he comes across as a very real liberal. Bush*'s charge that Kerry is a liberal works, because it's true. I know he has moderated some of his rhetoric, but even his prinsipal ideals are liberal: gay tolerance, raise taxes on anyone, pro-choice, anti-death penalty, socialized medicine, etc.
So, let's say, as a conservative, I really don't like what Bush* is doing. If that's the case, I might consider tossing my vote to a moderate, or at least someone who comes across as a moderate.
BUT, not to a liberal.
I suggest Bush*'s approval numbers are truly list low. I also suggest that a number of people who disapprove of Bush* will never vote for Kerry. The will hold their noses and vote for Bush*.
It's also been suggested that a number of people who disapprove of Bush* will hold their noses and vote for Kerry.
In any case, it seems a LOT of people will be holding their noses this Tuesday.
I fancy a whif of that air. A deep breath even. I'm betting it will remind me a lot of what change smells like.
