Dale, No link, so I can't tell if it was from a blog or not. [ cnn.com 9:03 p.m. EST (02:03 GMT), February 12, 2006 ]

But CNN Politics page as of now 11:19 PM PST shows this...and no poll.... However, I did note that your CNN poll is for tomorrow, and I would be interested in the location of all the 1,006!!!!! people questioned. 1,006 people out of 300,000,000 certainly doesn't seem to be a large sample.

Sixty percent of the 1,006 adult Americans interviewed by telephone Friday through Sunday said they disapprove of how Bush is handling his job as president.

One thing more....so you know I'm not "partisan" as you seem to think. I agree that Bush hasn't done much to cut federal spending, and neither has Congress, where the duty truly resides. Since Congress saw fit to spend, and spend, and spend, Bush should have veto'ed quite a few things.

And I certainly agree that our borders should be much more carefully guarded than they currently are. Drones should be employed IMO. And some BIG moats drawn across from sea to sea...on our side of the property... Either that, or disband ALL the immigration laws. And stop paying benefits of any kind for anyone who isn't a proven citizen.

Here's the CNN online front page as of the time I noted above tonight....
