1. Yes compared to April-July 62%, July-October is 53%...this is news?

He had a rough August and the honeymoon which was apparent in April was gone by July.

2. reminds me of a Chris Rock joke

"whoever heard of superdelegates until a black man was running?" :rofl:

Whoever heard of quarterly approval ratings?

But to be fair, it turns out that Gallup actually did report bad quarterly numbers about Bush:

PRINCETON, NJ -- In the last two Gallup Polls, Americans have given George W. Bush the lowest approval ratings of his term. After a term-low 29% rating earlier this month, a new Gallup Poll, conducted July 12-15, finds 31% of Americans approving of Bush. That ties with a reading from May 2006 for the second lowest of his administration.

Bush's 26th quarter as president ends on July 19, and it is the worst he has had in terms of his average approval rating. The quarter's 31.8% approval average is more than three percentage points below his previous low, and ranks in the bottom 5% of all quarterly average ratings for presidents since 1945.

Bush's prior worst quarterly average was 35.0% from January through April of this year. He has now averaged below 40% approval in each of the last six quarters, and below 50% in each of the last nine. His recent dismal ratings stand in stark contrast to the 85.7% average approval he enjoyed in his fourth quarter in office (after 9/11), a mark bested only by Truman's 87.0% following the U.S. victory in Europe in World War II.

3. Wtih all these Poll drops you'd think he'd be in the Negatives by now

It seems the MSM only reports the bad polls on tv and never the positive ones...going with that Obama would be in the negatives but here is see he is at a solid 53%...No one in there right mind would think he'd still be having a 60+ score at this time after all the fake attacks
