(Angus Reid Global Scan) – Public backing for Jeb Bush increased this month in the Sunshine State, according to a poll by Strategic Vision. 57 per cent of respondents in Florida approve of the governor’s performance, a two per cent jump in a month.

Bush—a Republican—was first elected in November 1998. In 2002, he defeated Democrat Bill McBride with 56 per cent of the vote. Bush cannot seek a third consecutive term in office.

The number of Floridians who think their governor should launch a bid for the White House has decreased. 38 per cent of respondents say they would like to see Jeb Bush run for president, a two per cent drop since June.

Conversely, more adults in the Sunshine State believe Jeb Bush should still be featured in the 2008 Republican ticket. 46 per cent of respondents would like to see their governor as a vice-presidential candidate.

1. Lying with statistics

2 percentage points is within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 3 points and, therefore, is statistically insignificant.

[Botany]

2. Ask Jeb about John Roberts ......

.... you know the fellow who used his office for 10 days in 2000.

God I hate those bastards.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Gov. Jeb Bush blasted a Florida congressman Friday for suggesting that Supreme Court nominee John Roberts be disqualified because of a brief meeting the governor and Roberts had during the 2000 presidential recount.

An expert in constitutional law then in the private sector, Roberts came to Tallahassee at his own expense to volunteer advice to Bush as the governor's older brother tried to clinch the election over then-Vice President Al Gore.

Rep. Robert Wexler, a Democrat, said that meeting alone should disqualify Roberts.

``Ready, fire, shoot,'' Bush said Friday when asked about Wexler's statement. ``Everything is off the top of his head. He has no idea of what our relationship is.''

3. Is 57% of Florida on drugs?

:puke:

5. If you include every sort of drug or medication the percentage is probably

higher than that.

4. How's the State of Florida doing

under the Ghoul jeb bush?

As good as Texas under the chimp?

This sounds like bushit to me.

6. Terri Schiavo may be dead, but Jeb is a vampire, the undead

The wood for the stakes is up north, above Florida. Don't despair.

7. Read my lips - no more bushes

8. Well...where I live, most or many, are too busy

with plastic surgery, lipsuction and cosumerism. Most probably don't even know Jeb Bush is governor and if they do, they thank him for every million the state allows them to hide or not pay in taxes.

I am sure many voted for him on both; pleased with the job he is doing and for vp.

10. I wonder if they'll just fabricate poll results out of a vacuum

The poll numbers are clearly getting unflattering; they can't let that stand. Maybe it's already happening.
