21. And Shrub's "numbers" must be re-examined re: current MSM censorship
A 30% approval now in MSM, in reality could in reality be a 5-10% approval. And isn't 5-10% about the "numbers" of the chosen few who've benefitted from the "tax cuts?

2. Probably Nixon
At the end I think he was in the mid-20's.

Bush is getting down to the "Dead-Enders". The floor may actually be higher now, but even the fundies are restless.

6. Kinda makes you wonder
what the hell was going on the minds of that last 24 percent.
I have heard them described as being dumb as dirt.

14. This will be known in the history books as his "Golden Poll Day"
I think it's supposed to happen when he gets into the low 30's, just before the resignation.

15. What was Clinton's during 1994?
Also, which President averaged the highest during his term? My right-wing brother says it's Reagan, but I don't wanna believe him.
