FOX News/Opinion Dynamics Poll. July 29-30, 2003. N=900 registered voters nationwide. MoE ± 3.

"Considering how President Bush has performed so far, do you think he deserves to be reelected or would the country probably be better off with someone else as president?"

Deserves Reelection = 36%
Someone Else =42%

1. Looks like Rove really wants to "lower our expectations"

:eyes:

[Brotherjohn]

5. Now, now! We can't exercise "the soft bigotry of low expectations"!

We need to let him stand on his own merits. that's compassionate conservatism at work!

2. ROFLMAO!!!!!!

I wonder how long this little gem has been sitting on the floor waiting to see daylight.

After all...we at DU have known this for quite sometime!

:kick:

3. It's getting ugly.

What is the alert color code for "Desperate Political Flailing"? I want to be prepared.

20. LOL

4. I believe it

I talked with two people today about chimpy - one asked "did they ever find weapons in Iraq". A chance for me to inform and it was a success. When I was done, he stated there's something wrong with our government and he's not voting for chimpy again. Another is active duty military and loved chimpy, now feels betrayed and is just plain pissed off.

6. lmao

How did I miss this? omg that's great

[wryter2000]

7. Ooops

That was in 8/01. It's now 47 to 40 for someone else. That's still pretty good.

[Brotherjohn]

9. No, re-read it. 47-40% was 7-03-03. Now (8-01-03) it's 36-42%.

15. it's 8/2001 not 8/1/2003

hence the high "undecided"

[KC21304]

8. Good Golly Miss Molly.

I don't watch Fox. Did they cry when they displayed the results ?

[Brotherjohn]

10. I'm sure they didn't display it at all.

I only discovered it by accident when I decided to look at the "Bush vs..." section of Pollingreport.com. I usually go straight to their "Bush approval" page and don't even look at this.

"We don't report. You decide."

11. The poll

FOX News/Opinion Dynamics Poll. July 29-30, 2003. N=900 registered voters nationwide. MoE ± 3.

"Considering how President Bush has performed so far, do you think he deserves to be reelected or would the country probably be better off with someone else as president?"

7/03 Deserves Reelection: 47%, Someone Else: 40%, Depends (vol.): 8%, Not Sure: 5%
8/01 Deserves Reelection: 36%, Someone Else: 42%, Depends (vol.): 13%, Not Sure: 9%

[wryter2000]

12. I'm as thrilled as anyone else when Bush gets scr*wd

But that's 8/01. There are no figures for 8/03 that I see.

I still insist that 47% is ghastly for a "popular" president.

[w4rma]

16. Ack! I must be tired to have missed that.

I'm going to change the title of my previous post so as to not give anyone the wrong idea.

[foo_bar]

17. it's reverse chronology

8/01 == August 2001

[Cheswick2.0]

13. the problem is

"some one else" is still doing better than any of our candidates.

[FoxNewsIsTheDevil]

14. Don't take The Lord's name in vain.

[Brotherjohn]

18. OOOOPPPSSS!!! I'm sorry. I think wryter2000 is right!

Sorry for getting everyone's hopes up. I think wryter2000 is correct. I was reading 8/01 as the most recent poll released (as in 8/01/2003), being compared to one from last month (7/03).

I screwed up! For whatever reason, they're comparing it to the poll from 08/2001 (that's two year's ago).

Still, like wryter2000 says, 47 tp 40% ain't great for a sitting "wartime" pres.

[peacetalksforall]

19. Yeah, so the numbers on FOX are not too low, but consider the

FOX factor...if Fox has anything to do with a poll, you know it's fixed-skewed-rubbed-tarnished-massaged-cooked, so it's lower than they report.
