2. Fox rigs their polls to be 5% higher than average
No surprise that they would do this, I'm betting it's somewhere between 28% - 29%.

3. Details from the article:
Overall, 57 percent of Americans disapprove of the job Bush is doing, and the most frequently mentioned reason is Iraq (48 percent). The other top reasons include generally "doing a bad job" (24 percent), disagreement on issues (22 percent) and the economy/jobs (17 percent).

Eleven percent of Americans say they disapprove because they "don’t like him" and 10 percent because he "doesn’t care about average people."

---SNIP---

Americans are more than twice as likely to rate the nation’s economy negatively as positively. Nearly 3 in 10 rate economic conditions as either "excellent" (6 percent) or "good" 22 percent, while the widespread consensus is gloomier: about 4 in 10 say the economy is "only fair" (42 percent) and another 30 percent say it is in "poor" shape.

---SNIP---

"It is worth noting that perceptions of how well people are doing are tied directly to their income," comments Gorman. "Most of those making over $75,000 per year are positive, while most of those making less than $50,000 are negative. Those between $50,000 and $75,000 are just about evenly split."

4. The irreducible, nutbag, theocratic core = 33% of voters.
Bush approaches his floor:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=1788479&mesg_id=1788479

That's how bad it is. Approximately 33% of this country believe that all that matters is having the right religious beliefs, and will do anything to get the theocracy elected.

This is the irreducible core of those who will back Bush no matter what, and will never admit that Bush has made a single mistake, in order to keep Bush strong enough to impose the theocracy--or at least outlaw abortion and gays.

I come to this from the fact that Alan Keyes got 27% of the vote in the Illinois race against Barack Obama. Keyes had zero to recommend himself except his christianity--he couldn't even count on a local family or friends, since he had none in Illinois, having been paradropped from Maryland to take over the race. No experience, no base of support, no agenda--except an unapologetic desire to bring christianity to government.

He campaigned in churches, mostly. His platform was to bring religious reform to government and return it to christian values. That's it.

And he got 27% in a BLUE state against an extremely attractive opposition candidate, who actually lived here, worked here, and stood for pretty moderate positions.

Additionally, if you look at polls about those who would believe Clinton killed Vince Foster or that Clinton should be impeached, you get about a third.

Therefore:

A third of America will say anything, vote for anything, absolve anything, in order to get their agenda imposed on us.

And they are in charge today.
