Bush Approval Rating Highest in 13 Months, Gallup Poll Shows

Feb. 7 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush's job approval rating rose to its highest level in 13 months, following his second inauguration, the State of the Union address and elections in Iraq, according to a poll by Cable News Network, USA Today and the Gallup Organization.

Fifty-seven percent of 1,010 adults surveyed from Feb. 4-6 approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president while 40 percent disapprove. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

It is Bush's highest job approval rating -- and lowest disapproval level -- since a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll taken in January 2004 showed Bush with a 59 percent rating.

Israel, Palestinians to announce cease-fire
Mideast peace summit set for Tuesday in Egypt

--------------------------------------------------------------
Monday, February 7, 2005 Posted: 2:24 PM EST (1924 GMT)


CEASE FIRE SET FOR SUMMIT!
JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will announce a cease-fire at a summit Tuesday in Egypt, Israeli and Palestinian officials said Monday.

Sharon adviser Raanan Gissin said Palestinians will declare an end to "violence, terrorism and incitement" against Israel.

In return, Gissin said, Israel will refrain from military action "to the extent that the Palestinians will fulfill their pledges and their commitments."

"It will be their responsibility to stop terrorists," Gissin said. "To the extent that will be fulfilled, we can move forward."

Gissin said the cease-fire declaration was being reviewed "in minute detail."

Palestinian Cabinet minister Saeb Erakat said Israeli and Palestinian officials agreed to revive committees set up to deal with prisoners, the redeployment of troops, Palestinian fugitives and deportees.

1. MSNBC
had something like that on. Said Bush's approval rating was 56% but was because of the Iraqi elections and his SOTU speech. Who in the world are they polling?? His approval rating was just 44% not long ago, right?

3. It took a week for them to manufacture a bounce. All Pres get a bounce
after the SOU Speech...even the ones who are disliked. It will fade.

But, that the MSM waited until CONDI causes a CEASEFIRE...is really lowdown and awful.

The spin on Condi is big because Powell didn't like to travel (that was the gossip, anyway) so that the Chimp sent Olive Oyl on the road and she even appears like she's doing SOMETHING makes the MSM swoon because it looks like "action."

And...she at least didn't dress like Cheney...:evilgrin:

5. his "Budget Proposal" is so Crap that reporters were questioning
McClelland at the Press Conference today and every word out of McClelland's mouth was "you are incorrect, that's a mistatement, read what the President said...you are incorrect about that...it's a mis-statement" this President has said...etc. etc....you are "incorrect, you are wrong...you are a liar..you are incorrect, that's a mis-statement..you are wrong.

If I was a reporter for the White House Detail...I wouldn't bother anymore...I'd show up...get the RW Talking Points...listen to Scotty and go back and write my article favorable to them...and collect my paycheck so I could feed my family in peace. The "Metro-Sexuals" in the Press World probably have "favors from Scotty" that the "Married with Children" don't...but you get my drift here....:shrug:

Whore for the P-Residency or be banished, outed, die in a plane crash or know you're career is going NOWHERE! GACK! :puke:

6. Let's see how the budget cuts play out
Also, once the ME starts back into its usual religious tit-for-tat routine (they've been doing it for thousands of years), it will be the same old same old.

What Chimp needs is another 9/11. Condi can let that happen again. She already proved she could drop the ball perfectly the last time.

9. BTW...is Condi a better "SOS" than Powell? She seems to be getting
RESULTS...fake as they might be...she sort of "hit the ground running."

Powell, it's said, didn't like to travel to much unless it was to give reports of WMD about Iraq to the UN..

But...word is...Condi is Bushies Gal...:evilgrin: Maybe our European and "other" leaders have heard the scuttlbutt about "their relationship."

After all, ...we Americans are the LAST TO KNOW... :shrug:

10. I watched her speeches, she seemed feckless and....
...had a "doe in the headlights" look. Very unsure.

Remember, she is an academic / corporate director who worked in a WH staff position. She has NEVER had a real position of leadership.

I would not say she has hit the ground running at all.

12. Thanks for setting me straight on that...she looks good for now...but
a person who has only worked for the Chimp and been Provost of a University...still might have a ways to go dealing with the Big Players.
:shrug: Condi has much "bravado" but has led a "charmed life" like the Chimp...coddled and pampered all the way to the top...
