PRINCETON, NJ -- There has been little change in George W. Bush's job approval rating in the last week. The March 13-16 Gallup Poll pegs his approval at 37%. This rating is virtually unchanged from the 36% measured over the March 10-12 weekend, and not statistically different from two February polls prior to that.

1. That's what they meant by "steady leadership"

Now I see.

6. Republicans will focus on STEADY LEADERSHIP!

Of course, if Rainman is president, and he is rock-steady poor at performing the duties of president, you can still say his performance is "steady."

Like the student who gets straight "D's" on his report card. he is steady too.

2. I dunno, that trend doesn't look "steady" to me!

9. I always say, with polls like these, you have to look at the trend ...

and Bush's trend isn't steady. It's plummeting.

3. PHEW. That's ALRIGHT then.

Thank the good lord. Or something. Let's hope that steadiness around 37% LASTS.

4. They must be so proud n/t

5. Whatever.

He's sinking like a lead balloon with everyone but Gallop. Gotcha...

50% is not much different than 47%, which isn't that far removed from 44%, which is not entirely unlike 39%, which can be construed to represent 37%, which, as we all know, is virtually idential to 34%.

12. Bush is steady at LOSING his support due to the lack of CREDIBILITY

Hardly anyone cept his rabid peeps, believe the dude anymore.

He just lost the biggest opportunity to become one of the Greatest Presidents in American History...better than George Washington and Kennedy...better than Clinton...all he had to do was...

Do the JOB Right without all the BS....

But no, he clung to BS like a fly on shit.
