Approve 40% Disapprove 53%

Rasmussen: 47%
Fox: 45%
CNN/USA Today/Gallup: 45%

Newsweek's numbers are a bit out of line with reality. I guess that's
what happens when you let an agenda get in the way of the truth.
I assume you didn't like the way Newsweek phrased their survey
questions. Do you know what they were, or do you disapprove without
having that information?

I disapprove of the constant negative barrage of misinformation that
continually comes out of Newsweek.

There are numerous ways that polling data can be manipulated or "shaped"
to fit an agenda. When one poll differs substantially from three other
major polls, you have to begin to wonder why...particularly when you add
it to the fact that they consistently put out negative info on the
President.






Funny, you don't ask that same question when the Rasmussen Robot Poll was
slower to report Bush's slide.

Repeatability is often a sign of accuracy. Rasmussen's polling data doesn't
show the wild day to day fluctuations that the other polls do. He also
holds the the title of
"most-accurate-pollster-in-the-last-two-Presidential-elections".
