Puzzle...puzzle....Why are Bush's polls so low ?? |
|
What could ever be the reason? Why do they keep sinking like a rock? Maybe because people have finally wised up to all the lying and deception? The majority of Americans, Democrats and Republicans, don't like secrecy and lying and torturing or the arrogance of power. It's finally dawned on them what type of leader we have in the White House. And once the trust is lost, there ain't no getting it back...

1. It's all about oil ... |
|
I think a lot of Repukes voted for this guy because they thought his "connections" to the oil industry would ensure a cheap supply of gas. Now they're feeling completely cheated ...

7. Why are they telling us what the numbers are? |
|
What would keep Gallup or whoever from just lying? Why bother to collect data, for that matter?
Here, for example:
The latest Jackpine/Warmonger poll found 87% of likely voters support Bush, the Iraq War, and higher gas prices. This poll surveyed 1103 Americans who identified themselves as likely to vote in 2006, and has a margin of error of +/- 3%. There, see how easy it is? I'm expecting payment from the RNC via PayPal for all my hard work.

The lie is stacking the numbers to get dimson to 32%. I call bullshit and say he's below 25% in real time.

9. It is his pattern since taking office |
|
His approval ratings generally trend downwards, except when punctuated by spikes related to an event (9/11, mission accomplished, hussein captured). This is the trend since he took office. While his absolute numbers are his lowest, I expect there will be a spike again because there will be another PR campaign associated with an event. How high the spike goes will be interesting....the ONE thing this administration is good at is deception and spin. Since countering lies and spin happens to be the opposition party's weakness (apparently) and MSM is unwilling, it may be enough to head off an important election day uprising.
