CNN's Inside Politics - New Poll: Bush at 50%

[VolcanoJen]

Accompanied by a graphic of Bush waving from the White House lawn, with a sound effect of screeching tires.

Damn!!!

Bill Schneider:

"Judy, President Bush is sinking. Last month, his approval rating was at 60%, now he's dropped to 50%. He's lost the most support from men, down 17 points since August. The gender gap has simply disappeared."

Graphic:

Approve: 50%
Disapprove: 47%

Exact same numbers when broken down among gender!!

Democratic Nominees:

Clark 22%
Dean 13%
Kerry 11%
Gephardt 11%
Lieberman 10%

Bush vs. Clark:

Clark: 49%
Bush: 46%



Oh.. my.. God...

1. Dammit Jen

ya beat me to it!!!!

Delete my thread, please :D

[TheBlob]

2. "Bush hits a new low in our latest poll""

Which is?

[CatWoman]

3. the more * nosedives

the higher Clark's numbers.

[TheBlob]

4. yeah, but what's the "new low"?

n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Clark Beats Bush 49% to 46%

[Brian Sweat]

11. Even though I am a Clark supporter and I hate Bush

this concerns me.

The vast Majority of voters don't even know who Clark is. I can understand that Bush is very unpopular right now, but for them to support Clark without knowing who he is is disturbing.

Of course, for them to support Bush knowing who he is is also disturbing.

[Clark Can WIN]

23. You find it disturbing I find it positively exillirating!

It shows how pissed off people really are and that they want to make SURE they pick the right guy to get McMonkey out of the house. I am not worried about them being unfamiliar with Wesley Clark, the more they see of him the more they will love.

[Kahuna]

28. Clark is the "unknown" dem the dems have been waiting for...

Don't ever look a gift horse in the mouth.

Where can I get some Clark bars. :7

[_NorCal_D_]

32. You bet!

This is the best news i've heard for some time!
:bounce:

[Kahuna]

36. If we stick together and work hard, we can make it happen.

(We, meaning, we of like mind)

Clark is the best choice because he will see to it that the Clarkies don't just ride off into the sunset to a peaceful retirement.

Personally, I think Al Gore would make the very best attorney general. }(

[Tatiana]

26. Well, look at it in another light....

It seems like a great majority of the country has adopted the "Anybody But Bush" attitude.

[oasis]

12. Say it again Clark 49% to Bush 46% woo hoo

In addition, Bush is losing support among men voters. CNN's Bill Schneider, who was giving the report, had a sour look.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. SORRY FOR THE CAPS

I HAVEN'T FELT SO GOOD SINCE CLINTON SURGED PAST PAPA BUSH IN THE 1992 POST DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION POLLS AND BEFORE THAT WHEN GARY HART SURGED PAST RONALD REAGAN AFTER THE 1984 NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY....


HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN....


I HOPE * DOESN'T GO ON A THREE DAY DRUNK NOW....

[Clark Can WIN]

24. are you sure?

" I HOPE * DOESN'T GO ON A THREE DAY DRUNK NOW...."


I hope he does :evilgrin:

[oasis]

29. No problema.....this reply doubles as a kick for jubilant DUers.

:bounce:

[Kahuna]

33. Their worse fears about the handsome, articulate general has

changed the dynamics of Campaign 2004.

The repukes are dry heaving at this news. Whoo hoo!

[oasis]

13. CNN's Bill Schneider, member of the American Enterprise Institute,

had a sour look as he gave the report. Usually he has a smug grin.

How about this being "Political Play of the Week" Billy boy?

[janekat]

37. is he really a member - or are you kidding around? n/t

[oasis]

39. Click on "scholars and fellows" on the AEI website (link below)

[pruner]

7. got a link to back-up that claim?

I didn't think so.

[VolcanoJen]

9. No. I'm sure Woodruff and Schneider just made it up.

Give it a sec... it's not up online yet.

[Brian Sweat]

15. I wouldn't put it past them.

:)


Did they mention what type of poll is was? On-line or Random phone?

[VolcanoJen]

18. Here's the only info I have:

Just paused the Tivo and typing from the screen:

CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll

Survey date: September 19-21

Sampling Error: +/- 3.5% (in Bush vs. Clark)
Sampling Error: +/- 5% (Registered Democrats choice for nominee)
Sampling Error: +/- 3% (Bush Approval)

[Renew Deal]

22. It was taken at a Supermarket in Arkansas.

j/k

[Kahuna]

19. Check Gallup. It's a Gallup poll.

Hee hee. Hee hee. :bounce:

:nopity:

[flpoljunkie]

27. Link for complete poll results...

http://www.usatoday.com/news/polls/tables/live/2003-09-22-bush-poll.htm


John Kerry also beats Bush in a head-to-head matchup of registered voters by 48-47%. Only Clark and Kerry can beat Bush in this latest poll.

[CookieD]

5. Bush is at 50% approval & 47% disapproval

This is according to CNN/Gallup.

[Brian Sweat]

17. When does the new Zogby poll come out?

[hedda_foil]

8. Has this survey been posted anywhere?

Listening from the other room, it sounded like all the major candidates were within the margin of error in beating *. I REALLY want to read it as closely as possible.

[VolcanoJen]

14. Sorry, hedda... I just paused my Tivo and typed as fast as I could!

I'm sure the link will be up soon, so we can all analyze... I can't wait!

:-)

[janekat]

38. the only problem will all of them EXCEPT Clark

Everyone EXCEPT Clark is known by the public. Their numbers will probably not move up much more.

Clark's numbers keep on going up and up... In addition, the more you see of him - the more impressed people are with him.

[soleft]

10. Sure got DU's attention

Six threads in 2 minutes.

[CatWoman]

20. hahahahahaha

so true, Soleft.

I almost broke my arm trying to post a thread on this VERY, VERY good news :D

[Renew Deal]

16. Is the Democratic Nominees number national?

[Kahuna]

25. Yes. But that number for Clark beating bush should boost..

him in the early primary states.

[GumboYaYa]

30. So will the Media Whores describe Bush* as

"an increasingly unpopular President" now. They have to give up the myth of the popular wartime President when his approval numbers are 50% or lower.

[CatWoman]

34. speaking of media whores

MWO has this story up already: http://www.mediawhoresonline.com

[Julien Sorel]

31. Clark is taking the men from Bush --

as it was hoped he would. It's the 'Democrats are mom, Republicans are dad' factor being swept away from the Republicans.

[Kahuna]

35. BTW, BB..

Please don't change that banner until tomorrow. I need to save it on my other computer so I can use it. :7 :pals:

On edit: testing the change.. If it's okay.. disregard the above message.
