President Bush Job Approval 45%

[oberliner]

On the day before Election Day, 45% of Americans approve of the way that George W. Bush is performing his role as President. This is the President's highest approval rating in a little over a month. Fifty-two percent (52%) disapprove of the President's job performance. These figures include 24% who Strongly Approve and 40% who Strongly Disapprove.

1. And the Moon Is Made of Green Cheese

Which explains that awful smell....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. But that's Rassmussen.

[MannyGoldstein]

41. Rasmussen Was The Most Accurate Poll in The 2004 Elections

I went to see Borat last night: after seeing that, I'd have to conclude that there are a lot of really messed up people out there.

[Marr]

46. The elections weren't accurate in 2004.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

52. Even A Broken Clock Is Right Twice A Day...

He's the genius who called Election 00 49-41 Bush...

[Avalux]

3. ROFL!!

:rofl:

[Bluebear]

4. Rasmussen LOL

[Grebrook]

5. Rasmussen asks the question in a weasel way, Fox News has his approval at 38%, I'm actually inclined

to take FOXNEWS more serious than Rasmussen.

[Wickerman]

6. lol, right. I love the Onion

Oh, what, this is a real poll? Right. Sure. A real poll.

[CBHagman]

7. That's 10 points higher than the most recent poll I've seen.

Rather puzzling.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

17. if you only poll GOP registered voters, it helps.

[MidwestTransplant]

27. Exactly. Every poll has him btwn 35 and 38 or so.

[Quixote1818]

8. Rasmussen is known to be a Republican pollster. nt

[Nite Owl]

9. Sure...

isn't that so convenient. They must need a poll to show the chimp to stop him from throwing things around the WH!

[WCGreen]

10. Look at it this way...

40% of the people feel stringly enough to take an vehement stand on the guy whereas only 24% think he is a strong leader...

the rest is back wash....

[mmonk]

43. Did you say back wash?

[WCGreen]

45. Yea, people who can't make up their minds either way

on a day to day basis...

[Buzz Clik]

11. Every poll from here out is meaningless.

They are all skewed by election fever.

The ultimate polling occurs tomorrow.

[devilgrrl]

12. Bollocks!

:puke:

[mtnester]

13. Bull...

shit

[Jack Rabbit]

14. Did Rasmussen take this survey on the 19th hole of a rtizy country club?

Another poll has the Commandeer-in-Thief at 29%.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. I'm A Reality Based Democrat-Can't Fool Me-Sorry

[Donnachaidh]

16. umm -- who's ass did they pull this poll out of?

Come ON people!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. Yeah- Like We're Going To Ignore The Six Other Contemporaneous Polls And Believe That One...

http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm

[Webster Green]

18. Bullshit!.....Its still around 37% (Kool-Aid overdosers & brain-dead)...

It will always be around 37%, which comprises his hard-core base that will support the chimp all the way through his war-crimes trial.

[AlCzervik]

20. it's Rasmussen, automatically deduct 10%

[Bluebear]

21. Come on back, oberliner, we didn't mean to laugh at your poll!

:rofl:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. Yeah- But We Cherry Pick Polls We Like Too

But I look at all the polls ... That one is an outli(a)r...

http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. You're Mean

eom

[Bluebear]

44. OK then

[Gman]

22. I always consider Rasmussen

the "worst case scenario" in how things are for the Democrats. I consider it the far right end of the spectrum of polls with many others several points the other way from Rasmussen.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. He Was Accurate In 04

In 00 his final poll had Bu$h with a nine point lead...LOL...

People ripped him mercilessly in his "Comments" section...

[Raffi Ella]

24. Bullshit

.

[kath]

25. Wow, they're going all out to catapult the propaganda, aren't they?

[blogslut]

26. Vote anyway!

n/t

[fedupinBushcountry]

28. Puhleeze

quit posting thse stupid Rasmussen polls.

[pdxmom]

30. And yesterday's polls were saying his approval rating was 35%. I

don't think there's been that big a change overnight. Rasmussen has been consistently wrong about a lot of things.

[guinivere]

31. I doubt it.

Unless they meant to say '45% of Americans on crack approve of *'.

[bdamomma]

32. what 45%??????? weren't his poll numbers down

what BS, bush is riding on Saddam's death sentence, which will not be done quickly because they (Iraqis) have to go through Iragi leadership first, for example they have to get signatures, that is what I heard yesterday.

[David Dunham]

33. I expect that it is only a one day impact of Saddam's sentencing

[stepnw1f]

34. Another Grand Ole Post

jesus

[kurth]

35. Reality according to the Evangelical pollster

Just a gimmick to crank up RW turnout.

[longship]

36. Rasmussen's assumptions--Republicans will surge.

And glory be!!!! Look at the surge!!!

It's built into their model. And it's wrong.

[ronnykmarshall]

37. Suuuuurrrreeeeeeee !

And I'm a flaming heterosexual.

[Maeve]

38. CNN's newest has him at 35%

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/11/06/bush.poll/

[mnhtnbb]

42. That is more believable than 45%

[GreenTea]

39. Rasmussen is a joke!

[marmar]

47. They could fertilize Siberia with that heap...

What a load of bollocks.

[Arugula Latte]

48. Riiiiiiiiiight. How convenient.

:eyes:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

49. I Don't Like It When People Here Cherry Pick Favorable Polls.

Why would someone cherrypick this one?

[dogday]

50. You sure are generous with your numbers

I have seen him in the mid to low thirties, but not in the forties....

[antonialee839]

51. That's quite a jump from the 35% the chimp was at

yesterday.

[ProfessorGAC]

53. Not On Rasmussen

That is a statistically improbable jump though. Rasmussen had him at 40% one month ago. Given the sampling techniques, there is a pretty poor chance that the entire population can be extrapolated to a 10% relative jump.

The poll you're talking about was run by a different polling company. Rasmussen has an admitted bias to the right. They don't even begin to deny it.

[burythehatchet]

54. yes, on the planet Republuto maybe.

[BurtWorm]

55. What crap.

Pshaw!
