Bush Job Ratings
Newsweek Poll conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates. Dec. 18-19, 2003. N=1,010 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.

Approve 54% Disapprove 38% Don't Know 8%

What's the deal with Gallup anyway?

1. they must skew with their questions. I trust newsweek and time before

gallop any day.

[demvoter]

2. With all that Bush is doing to this country

his "approval" (?) rating per DU would be -100%.

I cannot believe that the American public cannot see what he is doing and has done to get this Country in financial trouble as never before.
The falling dollar, if it falls enough we will be in a depression.

His spending is way out of control, with the unnecessary war, with the new illegal amnesty program and the secret patriot act additions,
and so many other pork projects that its hard to keep up with them all.

If we dont vote him out our future is bleak and depressing. What moron would approve his job at all? :kick:

3. mike barna**hole is on for tweet, and.........

they will be discussing this momentarily, w/Katrina VandenHeuvel and fat Tony Blankley

he's very feckless/ineffective blathering mostly on McLaff-in

KVH will consume him, if she's allowed to talk. love that pouty-lipped countenance. rich girl

this should be good....rolling tape

5. Pleaase do play by play.

Gallup has been in the business of tony-pandying the polls for a long time now.

8. just watching the repplay now

can't avoid looking at her lips!

this transcribing stuff is HARD!

KVH is doing quite well against both piglets......not taking any crap from faTony, even after he gets personal with her, after interrupting her, saying she has the "best breath control since Frank Sinatra."

she NAILS him, knowing that jape is unoriginal, coming from the execrable David Frum.

her reaction expressions are great!

barnasshole ganging up on her....surprised?

Here's a post I saved from last year:

3. Zogby told the truth and other pollsters admitted GOP pressure
LAST EDITED ON Dec-08-02 AT 08:04 AM (ET)
In a forum on polling, shown on C-SPAN,, in October of 2000;

Zogby, of Zogby polling stated:
"We count every Republican response twice, in the belief that Republicans are more likely to be out working and earning a living." (thus less likely home to answer the phone)

Several other pollsters commented and agreed that "There was tremendous pressure to intrepret the margin of error in favor of some candidates."
(another added)
"That pressure came from the RNC."
Everyone else (all five) agreed that the pressure had come from the RNC.
{to skew the polls in favor of Rethuglicans}

Ed Harris of Harris Polls noted that his organization was begun by the RNC, specifically to produce polls that Republicans could believe.

I videotaped the C-SPAN forum, which was never repeated.
Normal C-SPAN procedure is to re-run programs several times over a month's time span.

6. Incredible

I've been hearing Zogby is unreliable, but I didn't know exactly why. Thanks for posting that.

7. Can we assume that some of that 54% are Democrats ?

Nothing to brag about here...

[West Coast Democrat]

11. Sure, but this doesn't ask whether Dems plan to vote for Bush

Bush's "re-elect" number didn't get much of a boost after Saddam's capture.

9. more newsweek stats from Hardball, which I haven't seen elsewhere

twenty eight percent of surveyees think WOT has increased risk to tUS
thiry percent of surveyees think WOT has decrease risk
thirty four percent think it's made no diff

then......
the capper!

fifty one percent say Americans are LESS safe since 'we' got 'im.

and only fortyone percent think we're safer.

Blankley could NOT explain away that one, other than whining that the WOT could last for DECADES!!!!!!!! and we'd better get used to it?

why don't you get used to a treadmill, you fat ugly toad??????
doesn't Blankley look more and more like Jabba the Hut, especially when he leans back with his self-satisfied smirk?

10. Yup, a single word in a question can shift the answer...

12. Gallup is NOT Credible Anymore, Here's a Post that Explains in More Detail

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=534560

Gallup is no longer a credible in any way. Their polls might as well be considered completely made up from whole cloth. They are merely a propoganda arm of the WH. This latest poll of their's w/ Bush at 63%, which is the ONLY one that gets any attention from the media and is completely out of whack with every other major poll is merely more evidence.

13. Many respected institutions from the Old American Republic

are now Imperial Slaves no more turstworthy than the Soviet DEpartment of Toilet Paper Production.

I can't believe I would live to see this day, but the truth is in all likelihood, these are the "Good Old Days" compared to what the Imperial Subjects of Amerika will be living under in 2030, 2050, or God Forbid, 2100.

14. Indeed, I wish I could say you were being hyperbolic

Sadly my friend, you are not...

15. I'm sure this is just coincidence, but...

Here's Gallup's new North American Operations Center:



It's in Omaha, Nebraska. Home of the World-Herald, a newspaper you will find mentioned if you read about BBV. Also, Nebraska is home to Chuck Hegal, the senator who owns an interest in a voting machine company (and which he also tried desperately to cover up).
