2. Um, I need to see more information
That could be an issue specific question.

Anyway I have real reasons to doubt that this is true.

8. I'm with you
Probably an excited viewer missed the "qualifier" statement. Like "Bush's approval - handling of Iraq war" - I would expect this to still be about 33%. This was the same mistake that was made last time I saw a post like this.

9. Well, I asked him about that and he said NO it was overall approval.
But unfortunately he didn't catch the poll. :( Maybe somebody else can report.

12. I'm with you
The CNN poll out a few days ago has him at 45 percent. I think he got a small but temporary boost from not screwing up on Rita. He may be at 33 percent after the Plame indictments come out.

15. OR I'll take the current figure
If it could be demonstrated that this is that rock-solidly stubborn group of freeper lemming cult worshippers who'd support him even if he went on the air live banging Guckert dressed as a Girl Scout stopping every few minutes to throw a couple of Bibles on the fire for kindling.

32. You mean single digits
Integers are numbers from negative infinity to positive infinity which can all be derived by adding 1 to, or subtracting 1 from, zero, repeatedly.

10. Everything I find on Google says he's at 40% up from 38% and they
attribute it to his performance regarding Hurricane Rita.

Which is weird, because I don't recall him doing jack during Rita.

21. 33% of poll respondents still braindead.
there cannot be more than a meager few percent of this country that actually benefits from this misadministration. even some of those must be morally appalled.

26. It's from the Newsweek Poll and that number is the approval on Iraq.

28. Newsweek Poll has is Approval rating overall at 40%!


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9553533/site/newsweek/

In the wake of what was widely seen as an inept government response to Hurricane Katrina, the president’s approval rating sank three weeks ago to a NEWSWEEK poll record low, dipping to just 38 percent. But the new NEWSWEEK poll, taken on Thursday and Friday nights, after the indictment of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, shows the president’s support bolstered slightly, up to 40 percent. With a four-point margin of error, two points is not considered “statistically significant,” but tell that to the White House. Polling is all about momentum, and the president has clearly stopped the slide.
