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
last 2 Presidential elections.

The NY Times and CBS have had to get rid of several journalists over the
last couple of years for fabricating stories.

To each his own I guess.

Remember the CBS motto......."Fake but accurate" LMAO

The NYT had to print 4 retractions on the same story and still couldn't get
it right.

....for anti-Americans perhaps...but not for real Americans. The reality
here is that you lib/rads are history. Conservative Republicans
represent the vast majority and will lead in the future. Smoke THAT!!!

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.

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?

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.

Given their recent history, it's amazing that anybody would believe anything
that comes from the NY Times or CBS.

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.
