Bush Job Ratings Change Little
From June, Harris Poll Shows

President Bush's job-approval ratings have changed little from June, according to a recent Harris Interactive poll.

Of 1,002 U.S. adults surveyed in a telephone poll, 34% said Mr. Bush is doing an "excellent or pretty good" job as president, up a tick from 33% in June. By comparison, 65% of Americans said Mr. Bush is doing an "only fair or poor" job, down from 67% last month.

With midterm elections less than four months away, the poll also asked respondents whether they would choose a Democratic or Republican candidate "if the election for Congress were held today." Forty-four percent of those surveyed said they would vote for the Democratic candidate, up from 41% in April, while 31% said they would vote for the Republican candidate, down from 37% in April.

1. One point is a bounce?

:shrug:

3. No, And. . .

. . .(btw, i knew you were aware the answer was no) i noticed that 34% think he's doing an "excellent or pretty good job". Pretty good? Well, i would be VERY interested in knowing how many think "excellent" rather than "pretty good". Pretty good isn't exactly high praise. It's almost like agreeing "he doesn't suck".

4. A "dead-cat" bounce...

7. Well....

If you drop a granite slab it bounces a little.

2. A WSJ poll????????

Since it's the WSJ you know those numbers slightly favor the pukes. So I'm guessing you can take 1-2 points away from scrubbie and the pukes.

10. Yeah, wsj is still waiting for

boobya to steal SS for them.

[WI_DEM]

11. Actually that poll is better than most polls which show Bush with

36 or 37 percent. Harris is considered a very good firm.

[Cha]

13. They're still

waiting, though!

5. I had a rightie telling me that dubya had like a 10 pt bounce

and that was before he "got" Zarqawi. :silly:
What a sorry excuse for a President!

[ProfessorGAC]

6. Then The Rightie Lied

He never got that type of bounce, except when the people got frightened after 9/11.

16. I guess you could call it that

Such delusions are tough to explain. I suspect he got it from limblob or boortz or beck or some other right wing shepherd.
:dem:

8. Three questions I'd like to see on all these polls:

1)On a scale of one to ten, how likely are you to answer all questions truthfully?

2)If Jesus or Santa Claus or your mother (or whatever image you hold sacred) were standing right beside you and listening to this exchange, how might your answers change?

3)Have you ever done anything illegal or really shameful that you are pretty sure no one knows about but you?

9. If the peeps knew about

bushit's conduct over there in Europe he would be going down to 25%. If the fucking corporate media would get off their lazy corporate ass and do some reporting.

[ComerPerro]

12. anything within the margin of error is NOT a bounce

[neojohnr]

14. Of the 34 percent I figure one in three is telling the truth

And they include some of the strangest among us. The rest would support Bush regardless of how well he actually performs.

[DemonFighterLives]

17. Welcome to Du!

:hi:

[DanCa]

15. That's some mighty fine kool aid that the repuke brew.

Does anyone got any rusty razor blades to go with it?

[K8-EEE]

18. Ah But WAIT!

Let's see how the new WWIII/Isreal's Survival PR campaign goes, because I'm convinced that's the next "Mushroom Cloud" (Be Afraid -- Look Over THERE! IT'S HEZBOLLAH!)

Fear, war, death, destruction, things that are bad for US make BushCo smile.

[BrewAz]

19. This is still very scary....

Think about it. There are still 32-36% of us...real Americans (I think)...that see this guy as doing a good job! That is ruthlessly scary.....

Try this if you dare: Next time you are caught in traffic...count. The numbers say that every third car you see is driven by someone who things GW Bush is a good thing for America.

Then ask yourself: If that person is not awake enough to see what has happened and is happening to this country...what makes you think they are sane enough...or awake enough...or safe enough to drive?

Makes me just want to stay off the roads.

20. Unsolicited shoulder rubs adds a point - Who are they kidding? Bush will

be just short of fifty percent with these same polls by election time - Enough for Rove to steal it with their machines and spin it. This seems like their coming bullshit M.O. that they are are going to try and feed us!

They'll tell us fear & terrorism kept the republican majority" intact, complete bullshit!

[The Count]

21. so, the margin of error on this is what? less than 1%? It's nonsense -

Prima facie nonsense.

[Celica Toyota]

22. That's because we haven't stood up to the ongoing genocide.

23. Seeing Attention Lead To Positive Change

     I don't completely trust Gore Vidal's sincerity, but he
once said "things change; we always hope for the
better."
     The results of this survey I think demonstrate this.  I
am not proficient enough to state every reason why, but then
again I don't think anyone is perfectly able to either.
     I conclude this contribution by saying there is no
guarantee that change will always be for the better, equally
for everyone, but that many have struggled for a better future
for life in general and I think they are succeeding.
