Bush Approval Jumps 5 Points (Zogby) |
|
From Political Wire:
President Bush's job approval numbers "have jumped significantly to 36%, as a nation hungry for good news out of Iraq was finally served a morsel," according to a new Zogby poll. It's a five point jump from the last poll two weeks ago.
"Still, with 64% giving Bush a negative job rating, the numbers underscore that the White House still struggles with anemic support that could undermine his authority on Capitol Hill at a time when congressional lawmakers begin serious negotiations on several issues, including an immigration reform bill."

1. "jumped significantly to 36%" |
|
If my grades in school had jumped significantly to 36% nobody would have been too happy.

3. George W. Bush: proudly lowering the bar since 1999. |
|
And going from really deep dookey to moderately deep dookey equals a significant improvement.

9. It's significant in that it went up 5 points |
|
But that 5 points are still the rank-and-file, not the fence sitters or disatisfied members of the populace. So, it may be important to him, in the sense that his own supporters are more pleased this week than a couple of weeks ago, it doesn't change the fact that most people are still disatisfied.

He's been down for so long now, there is no more coming back.

2. According to Bill Schneider of CNN.... |
|
Edited on Wed Jun-21-06 06:10 PM by Armstead
this is basically due to some Republicans and others shifting back to support column. It's not a widespread swing among those in the middle.
That's a reasonable explanation to me.

4. So, he's a five point lesser failure than he was a week ago. He's doomed |
|
to fall again, back to being a bigger failure soon.

5. 36% is now good? A MAJORITY still hates his guts and more detest Congress |
|
They run the Congress. Their only hope is evoting machines. Unfortunately, they control those too.

7. Barely a jump out of the error margin. |

I think though that with even 36% it is very easy to see that he is in trouble.

12. It's possible that Bush has hit bottom... |
|
...and might start going a little higher, finding some stability in the 40s. I don't *want* this to be true--like everyone else, I'd like to see him go down to -12 or so...but nature abhors a vacuum, and having an incumbent President around 30% or so, with three years left in his term, just isn't tenable. Either he'll stabilize a little above where he is, or there's another war/terror attack, in which case, hell be up and down the landscape the rest of his term, of else something really bad comes out and he collapses, maybe like Nixon...I'd prefer #3m of course, but I suspect #1 is likeliest...
