Edited sorry for the old data

[roguevalley]

1. you would have to find out what the sample was. Who does it

matters too. Gallup will always skew high. Watch out for that.

[stepnw1f]

2. Bullshit!!!!! (nt)

[terip64]

4. EXACTLY!!!

[Bluebear]

3. Hahahaha!

This is a joke, right? Right?

[gatorboy]

5. It's amazing what a photo-op will do for you.

And Bush knows it.

[WiseButAngrySara]

25. And the whole thing was FAKED! And the world knows it...When will this

Damn country wake up? I've had it. I'm leaving.

[sub.theory]

27. Darth Rove is a master of manipulation

Nothing sticks to Bush because far too many people don't even realize how they are led around like cattle by Rove. If people actually thought about anything for more than 3 seconds before going back to shopping, playing Grand Theft Auto, eating cheeseburgers, and watching their DVDs we might have our country back. As it is, Americans are just totally anestitized.

6. The margin of error makes the Approve:Disapprove equal.

[yankeedem]

7. Got to support the president

:sarcasm:

Americans pull together after tragedies- actually, every culture does, we're not special. The fact that his approval is that low is amazing.
Many non-political people just "Support the President" at times like this.

I hate to say it, but it's the $3.50 gas which is going to be Bush's undoing.

8. OLD DATA!!!

9. Just because we are enraged ....

doesn't mean the Repubs are. There is a core of this country who will approve of Bush no matter what he does.

[terip64]

13. I hope to God you are wrong

[kstewart33]

20. Teaser is right. Look at the Sept 2 data...

53% disapprove of Bush's performance, 40% approve.

Still, I don't think Bush will be hurt much by this. It all depends on what the Dems do, and Lordy we know by now, they won't do nuthin'.

[Olney Blue]

10. Did the sampling include Gulf coast residents?

:shrug:

[tocqueville]

11. it's because about 46% of Americans share * ideas...

for whatever reasons

[Zynx]

12. That's actually very low for an "instant" snapshot.

14. PLEASE UPDATE OR DELETE

Your post is grossly inaccurate and is going to cause a riot here for no reason.

31. Yes

This is two days old. The public mood is swinging away from bush by the hour. His staged bullshit performance yesterday did no good at all. Americans are groosly stupid when the press hides the facts. In this case they won't. It would not supprise me to see this bring bush down. Either that or he may have a real mental breakdown as the people turn against him. One thing he cannot tolerate is criticsm. Bob

38. I have tried to edit

and for some reason it isn't working. sorry

[fooj]

15. Don't pay any attention to the propaganda they are dishing out...

Peace.

[sonicx]

16. That really isn't that good

During times of crisis, the nation often "rallies behind the leader." 46% approval in a time of crisis is not that good. If it were anyone else (even Bush 1), it would be in the 60s to 70s.

[Walt Starr]

17. This Poll was published 9/1

That makes it ANCIENT in the light of changing events.

Most of the data in that poll was taken TWO DAYS prior to people seeing babies die live on television.

[Teaser]

23. The next day's number's plumetted.

nt

[Walt Starr]

35. And the next day's numbers were STILL gathered fully a day before

we saw babies die before our eyes on live television.

[Swamp Rat]

18. 99% disapprove of Bush

1% are Nazi/KKK little weenie wankers who like polls.

Asked of 100,000,000 Adults

Margin of Sampling Error for this question = ± 0%

Bushler goes to Hell, do not collect $200 billion, and no free get-out-of-Inferno cards.

[BootinUp]

21. One way to look at it

Normally there would be a real gathering of support behind the Government and the President. At 46% approval something is seriously amiss. And I wouldn't expect it fall strictly on party lines either.

[Hello_Kitty]

22. This may be why:

The sheeple have been conditioned for the past 2 decades to believe that Republicans are "anti-Big Gubmint". * is a Republican, therefore he is not from the Big Gubmint. Even though he IS. But they don't associate him with it.

[AlCzervik]

24. i dont know this for sure but i've read and heard from several people

that surveyusa is abit like Rasmussen so when i see thier polls i always deduct 5 points from the approval number.

[Spazito]

26. Nice try, now load the latest poll if you insist on using this

less than trustworthy organization to find your stuff.

[terip64]

29. Sorry

I googled and found this poll. Just couldn't believe me eyes.

[Spazito]

32. You have time to edit it and put the latest data in instead

There is a little box with edit on it, once you click to open your post, just click on the edit on the right hand side, bottom, and you can fix this.

[terip64]

36. I tried

I am embarrassed to say that I can't figure out how. I have been trying!

[Teaser]

28. PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE: POLL IS OLD OLD OLD!

It was released the first. Look at the next day's numbers.

34. After 9/11...

...his approval was in the 90's. Considering that it's normal for a president's approval to go up after a disaster. Considering that Gallup stretched it as far as they could and it's still well under 50%. Consider that most of the general public aren't obsessing over the details the way we are and saw him playing "hero". All things considered...those numbers don't look good for him.

On edit: Looked at the most recent poll. 40% during a time of disaster is very bad for him!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

37. Is the federal government doing too much to help victims? Yes: 4%

These people must be total psychopaths.

[WePurrsevere]

39. It's interesting to see the difference in the orig poll & the newer one. >

Hopefully his numbers will continue to slide and more Americans wake up to reality. It is very interesting that we're not seeing the "rally around the President" factor nearly as much as we usually do... but then again it's hard to rally around a man whose gross and blatent inactions caused so much destruction and death... even of babies. :grr:

BTW - Teri... please don't feel too bad, everyone makes mistakes and luckily someone caught that there was a newer one fairly quickly. :)
