This goofy poll is trying to tell you not only did Bush's numbers go up, but everybody in his cabinet, yes even Cheney and Asskroft. This should show you how messed up this poll is. And be sure to read the caption below were they say ." Bush's current ratings "are better than the June ratings of recent presidents who were not re-elected (George H.W. Bush, Carter, Ford and Johnson) but worse than the June ratings of the three who were re-elected (Clinton, Reagan and Nixon)." Harris obviously overweighed in favor of the Republicans. And no Nader will not get 7% in fact he wont get a total of 7% in the next 3 elections combined PERIOD.
* A very modest improvement in President Bush's job ratings (which is within the possible margin of sampling error) to 50% positive, 49% negative. * Significantly improved job ratings for Vice President Dick Cheney (from 36% positive to 42% positive), Secretary of State Colin Powell (from 63% positive to 67% positive), and Attorney General John Ashcroft (from 40% positive to 43% positive). * Improved ratings for the Republicans in Congress (from 35% to 39% positive), House Speaker Dennis Hastert (from 25% to 29% positive), and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (from 26% to 30% positive).
However, history tells us that "the Presidential race is still wide open." Bush's current ratings "are better than the June ratings of recent presidents who were not re-elected (George H.W. Bush, Carter, Ford and Johnson) but worse than the June ratings of the three who were re-elected (Clinton, Reagan and Nixon)."
