"Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his
job as president?" If "Depends": "Overall, do you approve or disapprove of
the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?"

Approve 36% Disapprove 55%

WSJ had an article today on this poll. Mostly democrats were polled (65%).
This is why these numbers are the way they are. It was skewed from the
beginning.

Wow! 65% Democrats.

If you consider the fact that 83% of Democrats oppose him and 17% support
him...and 71% of Republicans approve and 29% disapprove...and you do the
math...Bush's approval rating is a lot closer to 43-45%...or exactly where
Rasmussen has him.

Oh, well, does that also explain the last WSJ Poll?

NBC/Wall Street Journal 10/8-10/05 Approve 39 Disapprove 54

Most polls have Bush's approval ratings in the high 30's. I guess ALL the
polls are skewed against Presidummy, and that's why his favorability
ratings suck, eh?

Rasmussen's isn't skewed. Bush approval is at 43%.

You had no problem with that poll a week ago when it had Bush at 40%. So
why now?
