Autumn of Discontent
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.


Here is a sampling of local (and some national) news outlets that have
made mention of Rasmussen polling data in the last couple of weeks:

Fort Worth Star Telegram
Kansas City Star
Suffolk News Herald
Palm Beach Post
Richmond Times Dispatch
Washington Times
Stockton Record
St. Petersburg Times
The Free-Lance Star
Lynchburg News and Advance
Huntington Herald Dispatch
LaCrosse Tribune
Eatonville Dispatch
Bloomberg
Beaver Dam Daily Citizen
Harrisonburg Daily News Record
Daily Free Press

And then, of course, there are plenty of Conservative "news" outlets that
have carried it:
Christian Science Monitor
WorldNet Daily
Rushlimbaugh.com
etc...


You may not be reading it in your local rag...but folks around the
country are reading it in their local papers every morning.



Yes, I often read the Beaver Dam Daily, the Eatonville Dispatch, and the
Lynchburg News.


Maybe not. But the folks living in Beaver Dam, Eatonville, and Lynchburg
sure do. Doesn't it bug you that some backwoods inbred in Lynchburg knows
more about the President's accurate approval rating than you do?
