Where are the media whores getting the 39% Clinton approval rating in 94? |
|
I've seen it all over the "news" the past few days, they say Clinton had a 39% approval rating right before the 94 elections. Surprise surprise.. I did a quick Google and Clinton's approval was anywhere from the upper 40's to the low 50's, not 39%. 39% isn't even close, it's a flat out lie.
I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I can't really figure out why they'd lie about this. It can't be as simple as typical Clinton bashing can it? If it's meant to temper Bush's own pathetic mid-30's poll numbers, all that does is remind people how unpopular Bush is. It makes no sense.

1. Gallup poll for that year |
|
1994: Starts year at 54% in January, but public sours on health care reform plan and job approval slips to 39% by September, with 54% not approving. Republicans sweep to power in Congress in November.

2. They're confusing it with the Congressional approval rating |
|
and not the lowest rating, at that.
They just can't cope with the fact that a Democrat was popular and remained so while they did their worst to smear him, stymie him, and unseat him.
