9. No, the wording is correct.
One poll had him at 38%.
Another at 39%.
Another at 41%
And another around 40%.

I'd call it hovering around 40%.

14. He IS hovering at around 40%. Six different polls, four different results
Newsweek - 38%
AP/IPSOS - 39%
Pew REsearch - 40%
Zogby - 40%
CBS News - 42%
Time - 42%

Looking at those results, he's hovering right at 40%

6. Hopefully hovering is the prelude to crashing and burning.

15. I think he's hovering
around what's left of his sanity. Fully expect to wake up some morning and find that during the night our Fearfull Leader has fled the country.

16. Can I Copyright "Bush Fatigue" Yet???
When this regime could gloss over this putz with photo-ops, spin doctors, hate radio and paid telepundits, people bought into the "nice guy...fun to have a beer with...bring it on...get it done...ceo type" and so on.

Since last year's election, that image began to tarnish and this year it's gone into free fall. Be it the high fuel costs, gloomy job picture, rising prices, Iraq and now security and credibility, people are starting to get iritated with this regime and starting to see those photo ops as deception.

Add to this the goofy antics of the manchild in recent weeks. Seems like every time he steps in front of the camera he can't help but make himself look even more foolish and detached. His henchmen haven't helped with more stupid statements and "black is white" bullshit that just isn't selling.

The problem is this doesn't mean 60% of the people would vote for a Democrat tomorrow...just they're tired of this regime. Our job is just starting...to target the districts that will swing the balance in the House and Senate to put the brakes on this regime and start demanding some true accountability.

17. Can he legislate effectively with those approval ratings?
He hasn't done much this year. If we're lucky, Roberts will be the only thing that he accomplishes before the midterms.

18. Until the GOP abandon ship, he can...and will...do whatever he wants...
I don't see any sign of that yet.
