P.S. Is this a liberal enough source for you?

Actually, Bush's numbers aren't that good:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/12/...oll/index.html

CNN -- President Bush's approval ratings do not appear to have changed significantly, despite a number of recent speeches he's given to shore up public support for the war in Iraq and its historic elections on Thursday.

A CNN/USA Today Gallup poll conducted over the weekend found his approval rating stood at 41 percent, while more than half, or 56 percent, disapprove of how the president is handling his job. A majority, or 52 percent, say it was a mistake to send troops to Iraq, and 61 percent say they disapprove of how he is handling Iraq specifically. The margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points.

And:

Quite a spread. Polls of the president's approval rating over the last week are, in order from most recent, 41% (Gallup), 47% (ABC/Post), 42% (Fox), 50% (Hotline), 39% (NBC).

Of course, if you knew anything about polling you would realize that a single poll by itself isn't worth much. But alphatroll is a bear of very little brain, isn't he?

YAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAA HAR!

Back-peddle Mode #1:

We go from "Bush's numbers are down" to "Bush's numbers aren't all that good" and "polls aren't reliable"!

I think he actually went from "aggregated polling data shows Bush's numbers down" to "aggregated polling data shows Bush's numbers more or less unchanged but one poll cited in this thread shows a big jump".

Brain damaged this morning, are we?

What I said is that a single poll by itself is not all that useful. Go ahead, take it one word at a time. Sound out each syllable; don't rush.

Whoa, in a bitchy mood because Bush's numbers are zooming up? Take a midol and stamp yer little feets!

Don't be hard on him. It's not as if he can actually read.
