Polls of adults are worthless and polls of adults with such a bias toward Democrats or Democrats leaning voters only belong to in the trash can.
The only valid polls are the ones of "likely voters" with the following breakup: 35% R, 35% D, 30% I. Also in order to the polls to be valid the 30% of independents should be equally divided between Red counties and Blue counties and not overwhelmingly picked from blue counties as the liberal media do because a lot of bias in the polls occurs with the selection of independents. Once you get me a poll like this then I will consider it as serious.
It's not gloom and doom, and its not lame.
A President with low public confidence is limited in what he can do. That does the country a disservice.
If you think the President can continue to be an effective leader with sub 40% approval ratings indefinietly, who else in the last 50 years has managed to do so?
The silver lining, of course, is that the GOP's deficiencies hasn't really translated to popularity for the dems. We can't count on that forever.
The last time on FR that the polls didn't matter, and were all wrong, etc etc, the american public backed Clinton in the impeachment situation. The polls were right, Freeper dismissal of them was wrong.
Don't do it again.
On section D2, the poll also indicates that 13% of the respondants were unemployed. Last I heard there was 5% unemployment nationally. I'm sure they were evenly split between the Unemployed For Bush, and the Unemployed Against Bush.
