Too bad it isn't a real poll, eh?

Clinton and Monica; W and Iraq: Which is harder to swallow?


Yep, the real ones were held in November 2000 and 2004. ;-)

What do you attribute the increase to, considering how absolutely nothing
has changed in the past 10 days?

I already listed the reasons in another post last week:

"People care about the stock market hitting a 4 1/2 year high, the low
unemployment rate, the increased spending on big-ticket manufactured goods,
the dropping fuel prices, and the improving consumer confidence numbers."

Things like Joe Lieberman's op-ed piece in the WSJ are just icing on the
cake. ;-)

Christmas is coming.

Hmmm. Christmas=improvement in Bush's approval rating?

No wonder the liberals are trying to do away with the phrase "Merry
Christmas". It's a political move!

ROFL!

Did the stock market not just hit a 4 1/2 year high?

Did unemployment numbers not fall again on Friday?

Did consumer retail spending not increase by 22% over the Thanksgiving
weekend?

Did spending on big-ticket manufactured goods not increase over last year?

Did gas prices not fall by nearly 20% in the last 5 weeks?

Did Lieberman not just write a piece in the WSJ about the improving
conditions in Iraq?

I'm curious as to what is making you ROFL?

I left one thing off:
Support from Bush's base returned after Miers withdrew and Alito was
nominated.
