Heightened security alerts no longer saving *'s poll numbers
For many of us we can all collectively say "FINALLY!" Bush's numbers concerning his handling of the war in Iraq are down to an all time low of 38%. Looks like the ploy of playing the terrorism card isn't working for BushCo any more. He keeps trumpeting the war against terrorism while our countries lose more lives everyday. I'm sure the Ohio Marine deaths aren't helping as more and more people wake up to the lies.

According to the excerpt below the most dramatic downturn in numbers were among younger suburban women and men with high school education or less.

BTW, wasn't that an awfully quick turn around for translations on the latest tapes? Don't they usually take forever and are scrutinized for secret signs to followers via watches, clothing, etc.; backdrop; production quality, etc?

An AP-Ipsos poll taken early this week showed public support of Bush's handling of the war had dropped to 38 percent, the lowest so far.

<big snip>

The AP-Ipsos poll found that only 38 percent of Americans approve of Bush's handling of Iraq, the low point so far. A year ago, the public was evenly divided on Iraq, and confidence in Bush's stance on the war and terrorism helped him to election victory.

Bush has lost support most dramatically among younger women, especially those who live in the suburbs, and among men with a high school education or less, the poll indicated.

1. Oh gawd, now they will invoke Clinton.
They always manage to do that when things look bad.
