It depends on how you ask the question and whom you ask. To get a sense of longer-term job approval trends for the president, Rasmussen Reports compiles our tracking data on a full month-by-month basis. Rasmussen Reports has been a pioneer in the use of automated telephone polling techniques, but many other firms still utilize their own operator-assisted technology ( see methodology). Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel. The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Results are also compiled on a full-week basis and crosstabs for full-week results are available for Platinum Members.

When are there enough bureaus kenny? I hear there's a fly problem up north during certain seasons.. Maybe we should have a Bureau of Fly Ointment? Woodticks can be a problem too. How about a Dept. Woodtick Control? Then there is the tortoise problem.. How about a Bureau of Tortoise Salvation? We could weaponize all of them. Fill each agency with hundreds or maybe thousands of bureaucrats. I volunteer to head the Dept. of Woodtick Control. I hate those little buggers. I'd be willing to go to war with the EPA to use DDT on them. We'd each have our own swat teams. And when we ran out of ammo, we'd just raise taxes and buy more. Sound good? I can't wait for this tyrannical government to run out of taxpayers to tax, and fall flat on its face. Maybe then we can reboot the Constitution.
