1. Yipes and Gallup over polls Repugs

Not a good sign Rove boy.

2. Gallup "assumes" that his figures are kept depressed because of the

latest scandals.

Depressed? as though that is an unnatural number for him? What is this crap? They just (by mistake) admitted that they think his numbers should be higher.

3. You should reverse those numbers

"The latest USA Today/Gallup poll finds more than 6 in 10 Americans critical of President George W. Bush on the leak controversy." (from the link)

4. No, I think they mean "Approval at 37%", "63% believe he did something...

... unethical or illegal".

They're different results, though the way they were posted, it does lead to confusion. I thought it was a "pro-con" of the proposition that Bush did something bad.

I'd replace "Gallup poll 37% -63% say..." with "Gallup poll 37%. 63% say..."

5. Sorry, only so much room in a subject line...

You are correct: 37% approval rating in latest poll, and on a separate question, a combined 63% felt Bush acted illegally (21%) or unethically (42%) regarding the leak issue.
