A new NY Times - CBS Poll, to be released tomorrow, shows Bush's job
approval dropping four more points in the last month, to 37%.

Delightful.
If news organizations could be sorted and filed like books on a shelf
at a library, CBS and the NY Times would certainly be in the fiction
stacks.

Rasmussen has him at 47%. CBS/NY Times has him 10 points lower.


Rasmussen has the distinction of being the most accurate pollster in
the
You've repeated that here at least 50 times.

The fact that Rasmussen was closer to the mark than other pollsters for
a single event is meaningless. Didn't you ever take stat courses?

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.

Rasmussen has Bush's approval rating back up to 48%...or just 3 points
shy of where it was in November 2004 when 3 million more Americans
voted for him than the Democratic candidate.

He attributes the difference to sampling error:
" During 2004, reports on the President Job Approval were based upon
surveys of Likely Voters. Typically, a survey of Likely Voters would
report a Job Approval rating 2-3 points higher than a survey of all
adults. "

48% + 3 points = 51%...or exactly where he was 11 1/2 months ago before
the election.




I'm sure that makes you feel good, bs-based as it is.


It's a bs combatant...to help offset the bs you post on here.
