13. This sort of analysis drives me bonkers.
The way in which the media always references *'s & Congress's low approval ratings in the same sentence always seems absurd to me.

How the heck is the approval rating of one person even remotely comparable to the invariably mixed approval ratings of hundreds of people?

That bothers me about as much as when they speculate as to whether the economy or the war is of greater concern to voters. As if. . . those are unrelated issues. The war has looted our treasury, cost us trillions, left us in debt, in part caused the outrageous escalation of gasoline and heating oil, and by extension, raised the costs of goods and services so how pray tell are they separate issues?

Just saying.
