<LOL!> Don't you even read the links you post? You called the Bush poll numbers 'stable' but that is NOT what the Gallup conclusion was from the link your posted: "George W. Bush's current job approval rating stands at 65%, his lowest rating since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The Aug. 19-21 rating represents a continuation of the gradual decline in Bush's job approval observed since its high point of 90% in September; however, his current rating is still higher than any he received prior to Sept. 11. This most recent approval rating is 11 percentage points lower than it was just two months ago." "The steady decline in Bush's overall job approval rating can be attributed in large part to changes in the opinions of Democrats. Over the last 11 months, Bush's level of approval among Democrats has decreased from the mid-80% to the 50% range." "The most recent poll also shows a significant decline among political independents. Earlier this month, 65% of independents approved of the way Bush was handling his job as president. Now, 56% of that group approves, by far the lowest rating from independents since September 2001." "Bush's rating among Republicans remains in the middle 90s, where it has been since September 2001." >>> Ironically, this put's Bush's numbers in approximately the same light that Clinton's were in 1998: very strong support with his core voters, and falling support with opposition party voters and independents....
