Cheney's Approval Rating 29%: The shooting incident had little impact on the Vice President's job approval rating, according to the TIME poll. Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Americans approve of Cheney's handling of his job (41% disapprove). This is little changed from November (32% approve-45% disapprove). Cheney's second term ratings are in contrast to his October 2004 rating of 51% approve-38% disapprove, right before his re-election. About 7-in-10 (69%) say the recent shooting incident has had "no effect" on their overall opinion of the Vice President; about one-quarter (24%) say it has had a "more negative" effect.

56% Don't Think Cheney Was Trying to Hide Something By Waiting to Disclose Shooting Incident: A little more than half of Americans (56%) do not think the Vice President was trying to hide something from the public by waiting to disclose the shooting incident, about 2-in-5 (39%) think he was. More than half of Americans (58%) say the Vice President is too secretive, (33% disagree).

Americans Are Split on Whether the Vice President Has the Country's Best Interest at Heart: Americans are split on whether the Vice President has the country's best interest at heart (46% agree-45% disagree).

41% Think Cheney is More of an Asset to President Bush, 37% Think He is Damaging: About two-in-five Americans (41%) think Cheney is an asset to President Bush; while slightly less (37%) think he is damaging, according to the TIME poll.

2. I would have checked off the "more negative" effect

Even though he could rip out the heart of an infant and eat it and my opinion of him couldn't go anymore negative.

3. Wow, his numbers are up.

He WAS at 19%. I guess shooting a lawyer helped galvanize the base.

4. No, he needs to stay to remind voters of how much the populace

despises this administreation and everything it stands for. I'm hoping for a clean sweep in late 2006 and 2008 (if we survive until then).

5. I dont' know if the planet can wait that long

I keep wishing Canada and France would invade and liberate us.

6. I don't think his 'approval' rating is 29%. I understand that there's a

third of the population of this country who can't get it through their heads what a scheming coward AWOL batard Dimson is. But I would have thought they could at least figure out what a dangerour criminal liar arrogant bastard the real head of this administration is.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American public.
