3. Is this true?
From just below the poll:

"First, every single incumbent president (Bush is the incumbent, for those of you who graduated from government schools) has been behind in the polling moving to reelection. This goes for Reagan, Clinton and for George Bush (41) when he was Reagan's vice president.

You are hearing much made of Bush's declining approval numbers. At the same point in his first term Ronald Reagan's approval ratings were lower than Bush's are now .. at 47%. Clinton's approval ratings were even lower, at 44%.

So ... while the joyous leftists in the media are trumpeting Bush's low poll numbers, it might give you some comfort to know that they're higher than either Reagan's or Clinton's at the same time in their presidency.


Somehow I suspect he's cooking the numbers, but I don't have them handy. Clinton bottomed out early in his first term, but I thought he had recovered by this point.

4. The difference is
that Clinton and Reagan had numbers in the 40s but were trending upward.

Bush's numbers at the same point in his term are trending downward.

6. Fixed is right.
I tried to vote twice (at least ;) ) and didn't get any warning, as you would if you were voting more than once on a DU poll. I think it's a dummy poll. For dummies.
