It's good to see people vote with their entertainment dollars. That poll is much more accurate than the BS polls libs conjure up every few days. Even with the MSM fawning over the Dixie Chits, folks aren't opening their wallets apparently in large numbers. There has to be some reason, right?

Think about this too. Since Bush won the nomination to run in 2000, the MSM has smeared & slandered him 24/7. Prior to both elections the MSM polls showed Gore & Kerry with much higher poll numbers than actual votes (and don't forget that includes countless fraudulent lib votes). The MSM consistently showed Bush with lower poll numbers than the actual vote count, yet Bush won both elections. And don't forget that the MSM called Florida for Gore before polls closed in the Florida panhandle (and the western 2/3 of the country). That meant that many tens of thousands of Bush people didn't vote since they already knew Bush needed Florida to win the election (something the MSM never EVER talks about).

Bush got 54% of the votes in 11/04. Even then the MSM had consistently him at or below a 50% favorability rating. Right after the election it immediately fell & continued down until last month. Nothing happened in 11/04, 12/04, 1/05, etc., that would indicate a sudden change of heart.

Meanwhile the economy has been damn near perfect, Iraq has continued to improve, there have been no terror attacks here, among a host of other positive things. Now the MSM did pile on with their seditious, treasonous smears & slanders. They lied & misled about the economy & every other positive development as you well know. That had to have some effect in the approval rating, but not to the extent the bogus polls show. A lot of Americans can see for themselves that the economy is great, their income, stocks & real estate are doing great, Iraq isn't like the MSM pot rays, etc.

However, once the MSM got their "fake but BS" poll numbers around 40%, I'm sure they found a lot of folks who don't want to be on the wrong side of a popularity contest, ET AL. It's not much different than those folks who claim to be fans of the home team until the team hits a rough patch (in this case a MSM created one). They turn on them in a heartbeat only to root for them again as soon as they start winning (something the MSM will not allow).

Do I need to bring up how they set up the polls with a string of intentionally false & misleading negative press? Do I need to go into intentional sampling/demographic error or slanted poll questions designed specifically to achieve a predetermined outcome? I didn't think so.

No, you'll never get a lib to believe that there is something very rotten here even though the evidence is overwhelming. Besides, it's a story that can't be told in a 5 second sound bite. For libs that's all that counts since facts & evidence are irrelevant to their version of reality.
