3. Edges "Up" is right.

60% still dispprove. That is dismal for this point in the administration.

His disaproval is higher than the stated 54%. 58-60% is more like it.

I have to admitt o laughing out loud at the inane and obvious questions used in some of the "Smirky" polls lately. When they want the boy kings numbers to be above single digits they ask questions like the following:

Are you satisfied with GW Bush's job performance in light of the fact that no one has come to your house and stabbed you with a tightly rolled Qu'ran booklet sharpened to a very fine point?
