CNN/USA/Gallup didn't like it when Bush approval fell below 50%

[TruthIsAll]

So they did another poll immediately to get him back to 50%.

Gallup Poll and CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll

"Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?"
Approve Disapprove Don'tKnow
3/8-11/04 50 47 3
3/5-7/04 49 48 3

1. Poll includes entire solar system in representative sample

[whistle]

2. That must have been the phone call I screened...

...and refused to take. They can now count my response and put Bush's number back to 49%, because I totally disapprove of everything Bush has done. And if Gallup phones again, I'll pick-up next time, so they can roll the number back to 48%. Did any other DU's do what I did? If so, that poll is booooooogusss!:hippie:

3. Didn't wait a day, huh?

And the best he could do was 50%?

There is a small percentage of the populace that tunes into CNNMSRNCFAUXABCCBS to learn what color the sky is that day. They're the easy puppets, swooning to the graphics and anchors and bawdy symbolism like a swinging pendant before their (((sleepy, very sleepy))) eyes.

4. I feel compelled to point out that they have done this before.

In January, at which time * fell.

5. It's like he's a drowning man, coming up for air at the 50% waterline...

Going once... going twice...

GLUB GLUB!!!

6. And now it begins. The media is keeping Bush afloat...

See the latest CBS/NYT poll?

Bush 46
JFK 38
Nader 7

Its Bushit..

[nolabels]

8. Wait a minute, did I miss something, were they not doing that all along

Just remember who the media whores work for, any answer after that should be quite obvious

7. Good. Let them be overconfident.

We'll fight harder.

The truth doesn't care about misguided polls anyway.

Aside from the BBV issue linkage to polls, I don't care about this now.

10. It is interesting

they would repeat the poll so soon after the other dismal one. Guess they kept polling people till they got the results they were looking for.

[snippy]

11. The change was within the margin of error which means there was no change.

[PA-DEM]

12. I wonder why they didnt do a head to head.

But this poll like the CBS poll shows bad signs for Bush. Gallup has disatifaction at a whopping 60%.
