Default Riding the slide

The fact is this: A significant majority of Americans believe Bush is
doing a crappy job. Whether his exact favorable poll rating is 37% or
41% or whatever, it is low...and that is good news.


You know, I don't follow, nor am I influenced by all these endless political
micropolls.
The primary reason is that I really don't give a damm and have other
interests that keep me occupied. That said, though, it has occurred to me
that a statement like that in the above paragraph is misleading as hell.
All the polls that I see (with only cursory interest on my part) deal with
specific issues, such as "Do you agree or disagree with how the POTUS is
handling the war in Iraq, or did he respond appropriately to the hurricanes.
In these two categories he has a low favorable rating. But that doesn't
necessarily believe the majority of Americans think he's a lousy president.
Statements like the above quoted paragraph are not accurate in my opinion
and spread misinformation.

Harry, correct me if I am wrong.
