I hope you're right about this, Officer...I'm just worried about middle America. Bush's poll numbers have RISEN since the 9/11 panel and all this Richard Clarke stuff, and that's frightening considering the incompetence, malfeasance and deception uncovered by the investigations.
Hey man, I'm just as worried about Middle America as you are.
The most recent gallup polls indicate:
Bush's approval rating as of Apr 18: 52% (after Richard Clarke)
Bush's approval rating as of Mar 7: 49% (before Richard Clarke)
If I got everything right, Bush 43's numbers have only risen 3%. In my mind,
that's jack shit.
"State of the Country" Satisfaction Rating as of Apr 8:
Satisfied: 41%
Dissatisfied: 57%
Bad numbers for an election year.
Economic Confidence Rating as of Apr 8:
Excellent/Good: 34%
Fair/Poor: 66%
This economic rating is the lowest it has been since Bush 43's father Bush 41
was in office in 1992.
This rating was at it's highest before Clinton left office in 1999.
According to Gallup numbers, and everyone takes Gallup for gospel, Bush
is in serious trouble.
People always vote with their wallets.
