About that Gallup poll (distribution of Dems vs Traitors)

8. well it's all about "approval" which is a pretty vague and malleable concept to most people

different people take it to mean different things, some people even at different times.

some people approve of the president period, because they figure to do otherwise would be unpatriotic.
some people approve based on performance in the last week or month or so
some people approve based on one issue or quote that stuck in their craw years ago
some people approve based on party alone
some people approve based on whether or not the country is "at war"
some people approve based on how their doing financially

etc.


i get the there's enormous amounts of data on presidential "approval" and it's very well studied, but to me, it's a skyscraper built on quicksand.
