3. Yes, and when the invvestigations turn into trials, they'l be much lower!

4. 40%?

Question ought to be: Why are there even ten people in this country, outside of the administration itself, who can still support Bozo in Chief?

[gristy]

5. 71%!

Just two weeks ago it was 80%, and at the time that was remarkable. The house of cards is tottering, and the rug is about to be pulled out.

This poll oversamples Republicans and has consistently been five to seven points better than other polls. So you can imagine what the real numbers are. Also note that this poll is a three day sampling so it doesn't consider the Libby indictment and two thirds of the polling was done before the Miers withdrawal.

8. And Rasmussen is usually the most Pro-GOP

About as bad as FOX. It was probably the last one that had him over 50%.

[kurth]

9. 40% of American adults STILL approve?

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

12. As noted above, Rasmussen is very pro-GOP

That's like Fox News reporting Bush is a drunken fratboy.
