People are fucking stupid; what did he do; nothing & do they think the energy crisis is over. Hell, home heating is going up 70% this winter.

Hurricane preparations, stabilizing gas prices help

President Bush's approval rating improved after his highly visible hurricane preparations last week. WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush's standing with the public improved over the previous week as he made a highly visible effort to manage the consequences of the second major hurricane to hit the Gulf Coast in a month, a new poll out Thursday found.

Bush's job approval rating in the latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll climbed to 45 percent, and 71 percent said they approved of his handling of Hurricane Rita, which struck land Saturday near the Texas-Louisiana border.

By comparison, only 40 percent said they approved of his handling of Hurricane Katrina, which hit near the Louisiana-Mississippi line August 29.

The poll surveyed 1,007 adults between Monday and Wednesday, and had a margin of error of 5 percentage points.

1. LIE - Gallup Aug-Sept: 45,then 40, then 46, then 40, now 45 again

not up, Gallup is bullshit

[GrantDem]

2. Just wait

It will be short lived after the DeLay debacle. Then.... Frist's turn to be photographed and fingerprinted is just around the corner.

Let's see the polls then.

:kick: in '06 and '08

3. Consider the source...

Gallup? Really?

I don't believe a word of it, and I think that democrats should seriously consider teaming up with former repubs and independants to create a non bias polling system.

4. Gallup overweighs Republicans when it's politically convenient.

Gallup polls are complete BS.

[edbermac]

5. B U L L S H I T ! ! !

They probably asked them if Bush had fucked up as badly with Rita as he did with Katrina, so naturally they'd go up a little...

[Deja Q]

6. No poll is 100% accurate, UNLESS

EVERY American is asked the same questions.

Don't let it get to ya.

[Sparkman]

10. The statistical claim of 5% is pure speculation, 1000 = miniscule sampling

You're right! Just look at exit polling, people even resort to lying to polsters, who may be anybody calling us.
There are many closet * haters that wouldn't say sh** if they had a mouth full of it, for job/image/church/family reasons. good point.

[Sparkman]

7. Gas Pump conversations here ALWAYS involve fear & loathing the *

So Gallup found 800 or 1200 to query, and of course the error margin is ALWAYS 3% to 5%. Not Believable

[OhioChick]

8. I don't buy this

GALLUP poll bullshit.

[rbajai]

9. That's total bullcrap.

Everything screams against it. Unless they asked everyone polled if they are a Republican as a screener.

[Mr_Spock]

11. Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!! Positive spin (i.e. polishing a turd)

Fools at cnn :rofl:

Why even post this propaganda?

[louis-t]

12. Why? Because he sat there with a dumb look on his face...

nodding his empty head while being 'briefed'? Oh, wait, I forgot, he had his blue shirt on with the sleeves rolled up. Workin' hard.

[dretceterini]

13. Maybe the same people...

that counted the voting ballots are doing the poll...

[spanone]

14. Wait till the Heating Bills start coming in...

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

15. Gas prices up over 20 cents in one day here.

This morning the price was $2.72, but by 2:30 pm it was $2.93
