Was 49% Approve/ 51% Disapprove, but now is 44% Approve/ 56 Disapprove.

That was before Kerry's speech.

1. And Kerry's speech...

Oh man, Rove must have blown a gasket in his head... Kerry showed such grace, sincerity, panache and hope - nothing that W can do in September.

2. Wow

Even a freeper complimented me on our convention yesterday, and he sounded sincere. He said the dems were doing a good job out outlining their goals and he hoped the repubs did as well. I almost dropped my teeth.

3. Really? Wow. But someone else posted that * approval went up?

Which is correct?

I see the approval rating as more indicative of whether * will win than the head to head *-Kerry numbers.

5. That number that he was talking about was a bunk ABC poll.

ABC always gives Bush his best job approval numbers.

6. Indeed. Bush is in lousy shape. Not as bad as Carter, but it is bad for

him.

14. Absolutely

Any incumbent who is at 44 percent approval only a few months before the election is in serious trouble.

7. My repub brother in California called me right after Kerry's speech

He's convinced and voting for Kerry. He has been building a slow boil against Bush all year but wasn't sure Kerry was up to the job. We won him over! :bounce:

8. Great news! Thanks for sharing!

Help is on the way! On to November!

[TexasSissy]

9. Wow! A Repub was convinced? That is amazing! It takes my

breath away. (ooooooooh.....my hope runneth over)

10. That's great, but

too bad he doesn't live in Ohio or Missouri or Wisconsin, eh?

Oh well, we'll take what we can get!

[Meshuga]

11. Is that so?

Man, 44%? I wounder if any president ever won an election when the approval ratings was this low in late July of an election year!

Awesome to know that!

15. Truman, but the Gallup poll that year was way off all the way through.

In modern polling, no.

Jay Leno: “Did you hear President Clinton's speech Monday? I thought it was great. He gave a great speech. It was really good, really good very inspiring. But I tell you, you know what it did? It made me kind of nostalgic, you know? It reminded me of a time in this country when presidents could actually talk. Remember?”
