Poll question: Which way will Bush's poll numbers go after his speech?

By this, I mean immediately afterwords-- this next week

So let's hear it people-- place your bets!

[wryter2000]

1. I so want to believe

I so want to believe his numbers will go down, but I'm afraid they'll go up. So, I chickened out.

2. my disclosure

i think he'll get a very small boost-- just for showing up on TV and saying "Gawd Bless 'Murica." in a very serious voice. then it will go back down down down!

3. People are losing their jobs, their homes, their life - the numbers

should definitely go down. If you can't put food on your family as the resident once said you won't have enough energy to cheer the chimp on!

6. lol! Sad and true!

no food = no energy

4. I agree. . .

a small bump, followed by a greased slide as the reality of what he proposes sinks in, and the realization that he lied to the nation to lead it into war becomes inescapable. There's Civil War in Iraq's immediate future and the potential for an invasion by the Turks looms as well. It's in the interests of far too many third parties to have the US bogged down and humiliated for any of the troubles to ease anytime soon.

5. They Should go way Down if the polls are NOT freeped as usual!

7. A temporary "up" in the polls

Always happens, even after a criminally incompetent president speaks. Will fall very quickly, though.

[0007]

9. I agree

btt

[otohara]

8. Fear Factor

will make them go up! Sheeple are a frightened people and Jr. is the protector

[poskonig]

10. Bush gets a seven day five point bounce.

eom

[Must_B_Free]

11. Public Opinion is slow

the decay of * is a big slow movement. No speech is going to change the reality of the war and havoc left in his path.

[lindashaw]

12. Don't forget the movie on Showtime tonight...may be good for a few points.

Heard it was terrible.

[tedoll78]

13. They'll inch up,

but they'll fall right back down. Another war could save him, if only he hadn't destroyed his credibility with this one.

[jab105]

14. Our brave pResident!!

going on TV, and saying words...gee....that must mean he's a good honest Christian man, the sheeple will approve...

and around and around it goes!

[wheresthemind]

15. WHEN THE HELL IS HE ON!?

Annnyone!?
