No matter how they try to spin it, the fact remains: People don't like being lied to, you liar and lying liar that tells them.


WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites)'s January decline in public opinion started soon after a top adviser on the search for weapons of mass destruction said he did not believe Iraq (news - web sites) had large stockpiles of chemical or biological weapons, a tracking poll suggests.


David Kay made his initial comments about doubting the weapons existed soon after the administration announced Jan. 23 that Kay was being replaced as the top U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq.


Bush's job approval rating dropped 10 points from Jan. 25 through Jan. 31, according to the National Annenberg Election Survey. The tracking poll takes a nightly sample and rolls together two or three nights' findings at a time to produce periodic reports.
