Had been in the habit of checking this site regularly last year, but it had been a while, so I checked in again tonight.

There are poll numbers for bush's approval in each state as of 6/30 - SC is split.GA is split. OH is anti-bush (he didn't effin' win this state last year) . NC is anti-bush!

And this was 5 weeks ago.

1. Ha! I love it. Matt Blunt...

holding steady at 2nd most disliked Governor in the country (Missouri). And he so richly deserves it.

3. Nice poll for Ohio...

Thats about how the election realy came out here in Ohio.
If Ohio an get Bob Taft and Blackwell out of there maybe we will have a chane in 2006.

8. I was curious about Bush approval ratings across the country

so I created a spreadsheet based on the number of respondents
in a recent national poll, weighting each state based on
population and using their percentages from 2004 as a way of
determining Bush's approval in each state. 

Using the 8/5-7/05 Gallup Poll numbers from pollingreport.com,
which had Bush's approval at 45% and his disapproval at 51%,
these numbers resulted:
