It was a dead cat bounce, apparently.

"The latest Bush bounce is over. Today, 41% of American adults approve of the way that President Bush is performing his job and 57% disapprove. That’s exactly where the numbers were before the President’s 9/11 speech.
Overall, 21% of Americans Strongly Approve and 42% Strongly Disapprove."

7. RNC outsourced their phone calling

to India during the last election cycle, perhaps they received some backlash (ya know major american party - not hiring americans - for phone polling)... gone to automated instead (still not employing americans except the one person who created the tape recording...)
