Breaking: Bush approval ratings on Rebound, because...

[TruthIsAll]

The Bush rebound is due to a number of factors, according to the Talking Heads, based on the latest discussions with Rove.

1.The situation in Iraq is deteriorating daily, but the public gives Bush a boost due to his gallant move to get the U.N involved.

2. The power blackout has worked to Bush's advantage as the public sees him redoubling efforts to privatize the industry.

3. The revelation that Bush had the EPA inform the public that it was ok to continue to work or visit the WTC area after 9/11, even though there was no indication that it was safe, indicates Bush had an even greater concern for Wall Steet as opposed to the health of the people. This is consistent with past policies of encouraging pollution. After all its just business, not personal.

4. The public is rallying to WH claims that WMD will be found in Sept. Marketing of new products is best rolled out after Labor day, and the WMD planting has begun to take root. And the 9/11 anniversary will bring forth a rebirth of patriotism and warmongering.

5. The people feel that a rested Bush, coming off a 35-day vacation, will perform at an even higher level.

6. The unemployment figures, though high, are being looked on as a non-issue in this jobless recovery. Corporations are seeing earnings improve, which is good for the market, even though more and more unemployed are considering foreclosures, a boon to scavenger investing firms.

7. The emergence of a powerful Schwarzenegger candidacy, under the Buffet/Schultz economic wing, can only help Bush in California in 2004 when those Diebold machines are in place.

8. Global warming is affecting France, which is Bush's number one enemy. This is a victory for all those who believe that GW is an isolated European phenomena which does not affect the U.S.

9. Blair is becoming very vulnerable. Bush gains when the Tories get back in power, as it appears they will.

10. Our troops in Iraq can no longer express dissaproval of Bush and Cheney on CNN. This can only help Bush as he rallys public support.

1. Well then they are NUTS!!

:hurts:

[TexasEditor]

2. ?

I think you're mistaken. What about the budget surplus, the lost jobs, Enron etc., the lies that got us into this war, the needless deaths of our soldiers, the Halliburton deal, ETC ETC ETC

[ParanoidPat]

3. You have a typo in #6....

....It should read, 6. The unemployment figures, though high, are being looked on as a non-issue in this jobloss recovery.
:evilgrin:

[Lexingtonian]

4. link, please

just kidding!

[JackSwift]

5. Everything's turning up roses!

even the calutrons!

[joanski01]

6. Are you telling me that

the American people still don't believe that "Bush lies"?

[cthrumatrix]

7. It's clearly saying....they like "shrub" when he's on vacation and not

messing things up in DC. And they like it much better when the press doesn't tell them any bad news form Iraq...

ignorance is bliss...

[Old and In the Way]

8. A minor bump on Bush's downhill plunge

gravity is taking over.....

[CMT]

9. I was unaware he was on the rebound

The latest figures of a 59% approval rating are from Gallup which I think usually has Bush higher than most other polls. Zogby last week released a poll with Bush having a 52% approval rating. Most of the polls have been in the low to mid 50's and Zogby re-elect numbers were 43-43 Bush v Dem.

10. There is no rebound, he is flat at best

with disapproval rising.
The numbers from today:
CBS News Poll. Aug. 26-28, 2003. N=930 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.

"Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?"

8/26-28/03 55 37 8
8/11-12/03 55 35 10
7/8---9/03 60 32 8
*****************************
Newsweek Poll conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates. Aug. 21-22, 2003. N=1,011 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.

"Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?"

8/21-22/03 53 36 11
7/24-25/03 57 34 9
7/10-11/03 55 37 8
5/29-30/03 61 28 11

This one is interesting because people move to undecided before disapprove.

What poll were you using?

[peekaloo]

11. I had to stand while reading this

all those monkeys flying outta my arse made it difficult to stay seated.


Whi$tle A$$ is disproving the assumption that YOU CAN'T SHINE SHIT!

[jeter]

13. Those numbers are from Gallup

There is no rebound. Gallup is always pro-Bush. Yes, they said, Bush will win by 7% (in 2000).

McCain will beat Bush in New Hampshire by only 2 to 3% (he won by 18%)

Don't worry. If they are spinning this. They are desperate. Nothing more.

Zogby, CBS, and Newsweek has Bush at 52 to 55% approval. And his reelect numbers way below 50%.

CBS and Zogby were the only two that got the last election right.

12. Arnie also gained as soon as the scandals came out

(and the gay marriage thingy, and the tax raising thingy). he was behind Cruz before, now Lunz + Taco Bell sez he's ahead.
As Judy Tenuta says: "It could happen"
Great post, BTW. I took it seriously up to the blackout - which shows you how battered my brain is.

[Deja Q]

14. Do they interview the same people each time?!

I think they just got lucky and found 3 more people who like the snivelling little worm*...

[DS1]

15. 9/11 is being tossed around a lot

I think people remember that and think he's doing a good job because he's up against so much hard work.
:eyes:
/channeling freeper logic, brain hurts

[TruthIsAll]

16. Expect a bigger boost after his meeting to assure workers on Labor day

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[ButterflyBlood]

17. there's no rebound

any poll that shows him going up is within the margin of error. some show him dropping still. at best he is staying the same.

[West Coast Democrat]

18. What a Stupid Post!!

It all sounds like Whitehouse PR Bullsh*t. Why would you post such a thing?


His numbers are not rebounding. His negatives are getting higher, and his re-election nummbers on the latest CBS poll are nearly within the margin of error with that of nameless Democrat.

[TruthIsAll]

21. I forgot to tell you, Just kidding..this is how THEY would spin an

uptick, which in fact did occur in the latest Gallup poll..

I agree, BUSH* is going DOWN....I've said this many times.
He cannot recover..another war or terrorist "attack" would just bury him..

[kayell]

19. Always best to look at a variety of polls

and fortunatly Professor Pollkatz has made it easy for us.

Sorry George, no bump for you. (say this in your best Soup Nazi voice)

[poskonig]

20. It looks like he's been in the same spot for months.

This is kinda hard to spin as a "rebound."
