2 Days After Jackson Square Speech, Relief on the One Hand, Concern on the Other: 2 polling days after President Bush's prime-time address to the nation from the French Quarter in New Orleans, 3 trends emerge. 1) The number of Americans who think the Federal Government is "not doing enough" to help the victims of the hurricane is declining; 2) The number of Americans concerned about using public funds to rebuild the Gulf Coast is increasing; and 3) Americans are not yet ready to forgive President Bush for his personal response to the hurricane.

[Dissent Is Patriotic]

2. Before I clicked on this thread, I was thinking, NOT!

and then there it was. LOL

[cliss]

3. Same here. I jumped onto this thread

to correct the matter.

There is a thread in the LBN which states that "Bush support goes down after speech".

Unbelievable. Rove should have stayed in the hospital.

4. Cruel!

[agincourt]

5. What's really suprising,

is that he doesn't go up in the polls even if gas prices are going down. Is it possible people are actually evaluating our political system instead of just getting their buttons pushed?

6. Ask them if they feel property should be confiscated so that private

developers can build whatever they please on the site of an historic American city.

Ask the "private money" question THAT way.

This was effing push polling.

[kentuck]

7. But he may have stopped the free-fall..

that was taking place up to that moment...

8. You mean, like a "dead-cat bounce" ???

:evilgrin:

It's not the fall that kills ya, it's the sudden stop!
