If Bush suddenly "jumps" to 40% approval in a poll...

[WI_DEM]

will we be hearing the media talk about his "amazing comeback"?

[MadMaddie]

1. They will be salivating over it!!

[malaise]

2. That won't happen so

worry not.

[democrat_patriot]

3. Hellz Yeah.

24/7

Plus talk of allowing him to run again...

[sui generis]

4. we'll be hearing Jon Stewart talking about it fer sure.

:evilgrin:

[Raksha]

5. Nobody will believe them. n/t

[Czolgosz]

6. What are they going to say when the first poll shows him in the high 20s?

* polled in the low (34%, 33%) before this wave of third-year-anniversary of the war press coverage. I'm not thinking he's due for a bump up based on that coverage.

7. They would have to poll ONLY Republicans.

8. it would be a lie and i would never believe it! he is caught in his own

lies every time he opens his mouth..it is up to all of us to be the media and send to all our internet groups and our families and friends...send all of the links of his lies to everyone you know..* is counting on selective memory...we must get his lies exposed every way we can!!
everytime that little lying fucker opens his mouth..its more lies...lets expose those lies..
lets use his own tactics on the little fucker!

fly

[wisteria]

9. Oh, he will. The ports issue brought down his numbers and now that

Feingold redirected the focus off this important issue, you can bet that this deal will be forgotten and Bush's rating will go up a couple of points. He is also out there working hard trying to promote the Iraq War, some people are bound to see that as a good move.

[baby_mouse]

10. 40%!!

:rofl:

Yeah, you're probably right!

[enki23]

11. ...it would barely be outside the 95% confidence interval

something you expect to happen every twenty poll-takings or so. and that's if the methodology is perfect, which it never is.

12. No post-presser boost from Blitzer, Matthews, or Lou Dobbs

in the afternoon TV coverage -- at least, in the segments I caught. There was some commentary characterizing this morning's press conference as Bush's blaming the press for his problems. There was talk of his shameful "straw man" speech device, on view when he asked why Democrats didn't just come out and say they opposed spying on terrorists. There was a question from Chris Matthews regarding whether Bush really believes what he's saying.

I was surprised.

[Frank Cannon]

13. Chris Matthews will have to publicly excuse himself...

to visit the restroom for an hour with a picture of Bush in his "flight suit".
