At 7:22 you said, " Bush's approval rating is still rising" And at 7:34 you say, " The polls will pick up again within days..." A moron and a liar? Can't you even remember that what you said 12 minutes ago is the opposite of what you're saying now? Here's a little context on the polls for you history lovers: tnr.com MORE NUMBERS: The new Gallup poll records Bush's approval rating at an all-time low of 46%. It's worth remembering that the Bush campaign has long seen job approval as one of the best predictors of victory or defeat for an incumbent president. How does Bush compare to his predecessors? At this point in their losing reelection campaigns, Jimmy Carter was at 43% in the Gallup poll, and George H.W. Bush was at 42%. Their numbers kept sinking right up to Election Day. However, in their winning campaigns, Ronald Reagan was at 54% at this point, and Bill Clinton was at 55%. Neither of them ever dipped below 52% from May onward. Bush is looking less like Reagan and Clinton and more like Carter and Bush 41 every day. Steve Dietrich
