Dear Leader falling pretty fast on Rasmussen

[DLnyc]

Rasmussen generally polls shrub higher than other polls, by 5 to 10 points. My guess is this is due to their methodology: my understanding is they use calling machines to poll about 5000 people per night--it seems likely that the pool of people who have phones, are home and not otherwise occupied and are willing to respond to a robot voice on the phone tends to be a more conservative pool than average. That said, Curious George has dropped steadily from 49% (slanted) approval to 43% (slanted) approval in about a week. Also interesting, almost as many (39%) 'strongly disapprove' as 'strongly approve' or 'somewhat approve' combined (43%). Only 21% 'stongly approve'.

1. Who has him lower than 39%?

4. Quite a few here seem to be below 39%:

(on edit: above found under 'Approval" at http://www.pollkatz.homestead.com/)

And several here are in the 39% range:

But my point is that the next 'standard method' poll that comes out can reasonably be expected to be 5 or 6 points lower for shrub than ones conducted a week ago (before shrub said he would rather make a couple million in kickbacks from his Dubai budies than worry about port security).

2. I don't know how he stays above 30%

[melody]

3. That means his real numbers must be negative ones lol n/t

5. How in the fuck are his numbers so high?

Who in their right mind would approve of the way this idiot is doing his job?

Also, I was too young to notice, but anybody know what Nixon's poll numbers were right before he resigned? Thanks!
