The latest NEWSWEEK poll shows serious political trouble for President
Bush.

Nov. 12, 2005 - In the wake of the bombings in Jordan by suspected
followers of Iraq’s Al Qaeda chief Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the indictment
of top White House aide I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby and the withdrawal of
Harriet Miers’s nomination to the Supreme Court, President George W.
Bush is sinking deeper and deeper into political trouble, according to
the latest NEWSWEEK poll. Only 36 percent of Americans approve of the
job he is doing as president
They're oversampling Democrats...as usual:

"When NEWSWEEK asked registered voters whether they planned to vote for a
Democrat or a Republican in those elections, 53 percent said a Democrat
and 36 percent said a Republican"


These polls mean nothing as long as they continue to oversample
Democrats.



More likely it shows that a percentage of those who voted Republican last
time around aren't going to do so in 2006 or 2008. Doesn;t mean they are
Repubs or Dems.

Yeah, they conveniently leave out the statistics about how many respondents
were registered Democrats vs. registered Republicans. But the AP-Ipsos poll
*did* provide that data: 52% registered Dems and 39% registered
Republicans. I'd suspect that this poll is just as badly skewed.







But for the second day in a row, Rasmussen has Bush at 46%:

HArd to find anyone paying attention to Rasmussen and his autodialers.

Hard for someone intentionally trying to ignore it maybe.

Well, I don't watch Faux or read Fauxnewsmax.

Who would expect someone enthralled with the 'Enquirer' to watch decent news?
