Notice they don't get to the most important news until the END. (*'s approval rating only went up THREE POINTS)

"Bush's job approval among registered voters was at 53 percent, with 44 percent disapproving. In mid-November, his approval was at 50 percent, so the shift is not as much as the poll's 3.5-point margin of error for registered voters. "
