So you dont think this Bush lie is effecting his poll #'s "think again"
This is the newest poll out since Bush announced his mistake/lie/exaggeration what ever you choose to call it. New ABC/Washington post poll just out tonight has a 9 point drop in only 18 days. Keep in mine this poll always has higher numbers than most polls.

Public support for President Bush has dropped sharply amid growing concerns about mounting U.S. military casualties and doubts whether the war with Iraq was worth fighting, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Bush's overall job approval rating dropped to 59 percent, down nine points in the past 18 days. That decline exactly mirrored the slide in public support for Bush's handling of the situation in Iraq, which now stands at 58 percent.

The full effect hasn't even been seen yet, it really started cooking yesterday and today.

Be interested to see the numbers next time.

4. This poll was taken on the 9 and 10.
I beleive the ninth is when he admitted it. So you are right this hasnt even really had a chance to sink into the public yet. By Labor day Rove will have lost 60 pounds from sweat and the lack of appetite.

5. I'm afraid that's not the case
I think that when the heat is on, Rove goes through Twinkies and Little Debbies by the boxful. That's just my guess, but it would fit with his personality.

2. And it's more than the Niger situation
Bush is losing support because of the situation in Iraq and the lousy economy.

8. liar liar pants on fire!
* lied and people continue to die ...

Facts are facts, plain and simple.

So he drops in the polls ... poor baby.

* should go home and crrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy on Daddy's shoulder. I cannot think of anyone else that would sympathize with a liar except for the 'adminstration'. Bunch of sick SOBs destined to rot in hell for killing thousands of innocent people for no reason.

So, a drop in the polls ... maybe people are getting sick and tired of this BS I should hope.
