Bush approval rating creeping up according to Rasmussen

[win_in_06]

Do Americans possibly approve of the way he is "not handling" the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict? Shocking. I hope this trend doesn't continue as we approach the final stretch for November. Our electorate has a very short memory.

1. Rasmussen is the chief fluffer

On the Bush porno movie.

3. Rasmussen had him in the low/mid thirties with everyone else

for the last several months. What has changed now?

6. When did Rasmussen have him in the 30s?

According to the table on the left of the Rasmussen page, the lowest approval number they have for Bush at any time is 40%. Rasmussen has never shown Bush in the 30s -- high, middle or low.

2. These so-called 'swing voters', whoever they may be, apparently enjoy

barbarianism, because everytime the WH does something barbaric, the Chimp's numbers go 'up' a percentage point or two.

4. He's at 42% now.

8. okay... more than a point or two... which means

more barbaric 'swing' voters than I first said. :-(

5. This poll was done...

before gas prices jumped up over the weekend I would wager.

7. He's at 37 according to Gallup

Gallup poll. Down 3% - which Gallup assures us is not significant.

9. Rasmussen almost always shows his approval rating higher

than most other reliable poll figures. I go here to check averages:
