8. Oh, not necessarily -- they may find a way to spin it. |

rather believe the worst and media, it's Obama who must be trustworthy. Rise might be because he's getting more involved in health care, unlike media saying the opposite. Maybe they didn't call the deep south as much. Maybe he wasn't that low to begin with. A speech to re-engage with our guy is needed about now, and he needs to reassure about his economic stewardship.

suddenly went quiet. Weren't they all yammering about plumeting poll numbers, single term, lame duck etc just a few days ago?
Why is Faux noise not constantly showing the front page of Gallup like they were last week.
Damn I hate those 24 hr networks with a passion... bunch of fucking wanna be journalists.

I never understood people's fascination with approval rating polls. The other polls that matter are on election day.

We're more than a year away from the next real election and more than 3 years away from the next Presidential election. I think these polls are simply designed to keep the 24 hr noise media in business, there are only so many car chases and missing pretty white girls to talk about.
