What dictionary is Andrea Mitchell using (Media Matters)
http://mediamatters.org/items/200409270009

Appearing on the September 24 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, NBC News chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell laid out her view of the challenges faced by Senator John Kerry in the upcoming debates with President George W. Bush: "He's going to take the fight to the president, but they know that they have to be respectful. It is the office of the presidency. This is also a very well-liked, popular president." But recent poll data contradict Mitchell's assertion that Bush is a "very well-liked, popular president;" only about half of the country has a "favorable" opinion of the president, and approximately 40 percent classify their opinion as "unfavorable."

Poll Date Favorable Unfavorable
TIME magazine 9/24 49% 37%
CBS/New York Times 9/23 46 38
FOX News/Opinion Dynamics 9/23 52 43
Zogby 9/20 55 44
Annenberg Public Policy Center 9/15 52 38
Newsweek 9/11 52 44
ABC News/Washington Post 9/9 51 39
CNN/Gallup/USA Today 9/7 55 44

3. What I enjoyed about this was showing that Bush is NOT a well-liked
popular president. Not when half the people in the polls find him unfavorable. Bet those half wouldn't be sitting around drinking booze with him, watching him nyuk nyuk nyuk it up, as the bald among them offer their heads for him to rub.

4. Bizarre Zogby result, as his 9/19 poll had F/UF at 47%/52%
A swing of 16 points in one day? Not likely.
