Smirk's ratings lowest of pResidency-Harris

Bush’s Ratings Slip to Lowest Level of His Presidency,
According to Latest Harris Poll

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – September 17, 2004 – President Bush’s ratings have slipped to 45 percent positive and 54 percent negative, the lowest ratings of his presidency, according to a new Harris Poll. These numbers compare to 50 percent positive, 49 percent negative in June and 48 percent positive, 51 percent negative in August. This downward trend no doubt helps to explain why the lead which the president enjoyed over Senator Kerry immediately after the Republican convention in New York – the so-called “convention bounce” – has now disappeared.

This is one of the results of a Harris Poll of 1,018 U.S. adults surveyed by telephone by Harris Interactive® between September 9 and 13, 2004.

This survey also tracked the ratings of other government leaders and of both parties in Congress. Some of the other findings are:

Vice President Dick Cheney’s ratings – 40 percent positive, 54 percent negative – have not changed since August.
Secretary of State Colin Powell’s ratings are down to 63 percent positive, 32 percent negative from 69 percent to 27 percent in August, but he is still by far the most popular member of the administration.
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s ratings are down very slightly to 43 percent positive, 50 percent negative. This is the first time his negative ratings have touched 50 percent.
Attorney General John Ashcroft’s ratings – at 40 percent positive, 49 percent negative – are also down slightly since August, and his negative ratings have never been this high before.

2. And yet the polls claim he's increasing his lead over Kerry.
That can only lead you to one conclusion..ok, two.
Either Americans are stupid for voting for someone they think is a peice of shit or..the polls are full of shit.

4. Media ONLY reports polls no matter HOW unknown
that show Smirk ahead. I mean some of these polls, who the f**k ARE these people? NEVER heard of them! They never report Harris or Zogby anymore. Today they're all citing AP poll's, which OF COURSE has Smirk ahead. CNN actually had 2 on yesterday that I had never ever heard of, and were self admitted, "small and unknown" (CNN). So why f**king bother? What? No one in the MSM heard of Zogby or Harris? Or are they now unreliable because they show KERRY ahead?

Please!

5. Greenberg is the only one I would pay attention to.
He polled differently and helped Carville and Begala show Clinton how and where he could win.

8. If they convince you Bush will win,
yet you think he is bad, do you start doubting yourself?

All the more reason for Kerry to be tough -- to say what people are saying -- so that people don't doubt themselves - they hear Kerry's message.

Kerry has to talk about Iraq. Otherwise the only message people hear is Bush's Iraq message.

9. Very bad news for Shrub - more important than match-up numbers:
"President Bush’s ratings have slipped to 45 percent positive and 54 percent negative, the lowest ratings of his presidency, according to a new Harris Poll."
