1. Keep sinking...

It should be around 90% against 10% for about now.

[FlashHarry]

2. Gee. Not good for an incumbent.

But, then again, is an emperor really an incumbent?

[KansDem]

6. Probably why His Royal Flatulence is stumping in the South...

which should be safe territory for him...

3. Dont let up!! 44% is still too high!

We kinda get relaxed when Kerry starts showing a lead. I say DONT LET UP! Keep fighting these people..They are Crooks and they should get delt with like crooks! I wont be happy till Bush is at .00001% Approval..Dont relax and keep pushing!

26. There have to be at least 4% who still haven't heard of

torturegate and when they do they will sluff off also. So I figure * is around 40% which is about his "base". He will lose some of his base when Rummy is either fired or resigns (doesn't matter which because they will be seen as the same). So I put Bush at no better then 39% and maybe as low as 35% by mid summer. He will get a modest bump at convention time if all goes well so I expect he will be back up to 40-42% by early September. Kerry will beat Bush by 51 - 41% (Nader will get 10%, mostly out of Bush's hide) and carry at least 350 electoral votes. Well this is what I hope will happen anyway.

4. Just like Poppy about this time in '92?

Not getting too hopeful. They're gonna defrost Osama in October and it will be over.

[jjmalonejr]

8. Don't be so sure about that.

I hear so many people say that they're gonna produce Osama as an October surprise.

Maybe so, but I wouldn't assume that this administration has that much control over events on the ground.

21. And we have another terra attack to boost his poll numbers.

They need to have that soon, before his numbers go any lower. If more and more people view him as a failure they may not view him as a savior when the next attack happens. Dare I say it, the truth may dawn on some of them. If they have it now, before he sinks any lower (in the polls, otherwise he can't sink lower) it could have a beneficial effect for him in the polls. At very least they can use it to further limit civil liberties and the press to put an end to all this almost accurate reporting.

22. I'm assuming -

the October surprise will be gas prices back down to $2.00 a gallon from about $4.50 or $5.00.

I'm also hoping gas prices don't get that bad. I'm hoping I'll win the Lotto, too. I don't hold much stock in my hopes these days.

12. I have read recently that Bush1 was 15 points ahead of Clinton in 92...

...at this point of the election.

Don

[robbedvoter]

13. yes, but his approval was 37% (don't ask)

[NNN0LHI]

20. Dumbo appears to be at 44% which isn't much better all things considered

23. Matthew Dowd

Matthew Dowd, Bush's own poll watcher said that the approval rating is the number to watch not the head to head. Well they can't be enjoying these numbers.

[snippy]

17. Even if they do, Bush seems to have an infinite capacity

to screw up everything he does, so he likely will screw that up too.

5. a famous general, facing a charge by an overwhelming foe...

...ordered his valet to bring him his red pants.

"Why the red pants, sir?" asked the valet.

The general replied, "so the men won't see me bleed-- and falter themselves-- if I'm wounded in battle."

Karl Rove must be ordering up his brown pants today....

[City Lights]

9. LOL!

Thanks, mike_c, I needed a good laugh.

:thumbsup:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

7. how low can he go?

[LeinesRed]

11. that high?

seriously, who are these morons?

[wryter2000]

14. LOL

Did you see the picture of him they attached to the article? It looked like something one of us might use to make him look crazy.

19. I'm not sure Vietnam ever reached some of these CBS numbers.

[dusty64]

24. Glad to see some

finally coming to their senses, lets hope this continues.

[yellowcanine]

25. 64% say war was not worth it.

That, coupled with the lies and torturegate will sink Bush, imo.

[Selwynn]

27. 448 people.... is that all that is usually polled?

Seems like an awfully small group. But then again, I know little about polling, which is why I'm suspicious of it.

[LeinesRed]

28. the old random sample

actually it's supposed to be very scientific...couldn't stand stats class in college, so I'm no help. I do know that the asking "likely voters" is the way to go for accuracy.
