Interesting that only 17 percent of those polled believe Bush is telling the entire truth about his Harken days. That's a good article: "Two-thirds of all respondents, and slightly more than half of Republicans, said business interests had too much influence on the Republican Party. Slightly less than half of all those polled said business exerted too much influence over the Democrats. Many Americans also expressed concerns that Mr. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney had not been sufficiently forthcoming about their own past business dealings. With the stock market falling, concern about the economy intensifying and the United States facing the continued threat of terrorist attacks, the poll found a surge since the start of the year in the percentage of people who think the country is on the wrong track. It also found that Americans' trust in government, which climbed after Sept. 11, has slid significantly"

Right on! Polls can be very misleading.GWB is doing a fair job, at best, but Americans are under siege, and would be fool-hardy to not side with their president, FOR NOW. Pollsters are very aware of that.However,they are afraid of asking "leading questions". Therein lies the dilemma.JMHO

<<One particularly interesting question says that a majority 48% of people polled feel the country is heading in the wrong direction under Bush>> Typical example of left-leaning poll taker's intentional error. The 48% "majority" are simply expressing that America is taking far too many wrong directions pushed by the traitors who control the Senate and oppose Bush on everything including the statement "Good morning". The same "majority" (with several % added to make them one) will take care of the problem in November, by running Democrats out of the Congress wherever possible...
