2. doubtless far lower than RW MSM would ever publish

3. Last week it was 49 approve, and they always have a 4-5 point built-in

conservative bias so it's probably lower -- more like 40-41, which is in line with other recent polls. But since this one is most influential, it's very important that it's the lowest ever recorded for him..

4. Why don't they do a "If the election were held today" poll?

I'd love to see what a hypothetic Kerry would do now, warts and all, against the "now" Bush.

5. Don't forget the Gallup adjustment.

Use:

The Margarine of Error Technique


Adjust by the margin of error.

If Gallup says that Bush approval is 44-51-5 +/- 3% then the actual result is closer to: 41-54-5.

6. Freepers Favorite Poll - Rasmussen

50% approve and 49% disapprove. They not only break it down by gender, but by marital status. Huh? Must be a good "christian" poll.:sarcasm:

majority of Americans still love *?
