Either the Dem lies about SS have been effective or just another biased AP poll/story. You decide.

I decided.

AP took a poll and ignored the SS issue because W has the numbers there with every demographic except the scared senior Dems. Then they used words instead of numbers, didn't cite the questions, throw in a jab at immigration after all the stories they write making us out to be bigots and finish up w/some Donk operative's opinion.

All the seniors I know voted for W and support the reforms to SS.

They proved during the campaign that this number means absolutely nothing.

The number who think the country is headed down the wrong track increased from 51 percent to 58 percent in the past month.

You could be a Bush supporter and still think the country was headed down the wrong track, i.e. too liberal, too much government debt, etc.

58% of me thinks that Will Lester is not a real reporter, but a random gloom generator developed by a leftist programmer.

This sounds like a rerun of the polls we saw before the election. None of them matter now anyway; W is in for the next four years, and the AP can blast away with its bogus stories as much as it wants.

More pure BS from the AP. His favorability rating has rebounded to 57% as reported just days ago.

The Democrat misrepresentations about the effects of Social Security reform are the basis of most of the slippage among those aged 50 and over.

This is one "over 65" who is not swayed by this constant barrage of distortions from the Democrats. I believe in George W. Bush on a broad range of the issues, but on one, the porous borders, there remains a LOT to be done.

The AARP has a lot to do with this. During the election those on their Internet site crucified Bush. I am 66 years old and am ashamed of the Seniors on that site and any who seem so selfish.
I need my Social Security but care more for my children and those who I will leave behind.
My studying leaves me to believe that people in poverty receive only about 12% of what Social Security provides and that tells me 88% of SS goes to people who may be well off so why should they raise so much hell about this change.
Getting back to the AARP site, from what I read it showed me if those were truly Seniors on there they were very selfish. I was truly ashamed of most of them and their whining.
My only hangup and it is a big one on these contributions going to the stock market is the way that the market is manipulated and the insider information and salaries of CEO's. That could cause me not to want to change the system but I think it should be left up to those it will affect, not me.
We are truly a spoiled nation!

The number who think the country is headed down the wrong track increased from 51 percent to 58 percent in the past month.

The liberal democrats and the DLM (defeated liberal media) were playing and hyping this right track wrong track crap in 2004 and they were sure that because more people believe the country is going into the wrong track then Bush was going to lose the November election.

And now they are still using the same analysis and projections that lead them into an utter defeat. I am more convinced then ever that the majority of liberals are dumb, and that it is why they are suffering one crushing defeat after another. They must change so dramatically and get rid of so many morons among them so they can have a chance in winning, and this will take at least 10 years to achieve.

Associated Press-Ipsos poll????? Never heard of this, is this something they just started last month. The poll has no track record and therefore little credibility.

Never buy-in to a poll unless you get copy of ALL questions asked and in what sequence they are asked.

This is hysterical! Whenever Bush comes out with strong poll numbers the AP always runs a cockamamy poll to counter.

Nothing different than what happened 4 years ago. It's the same recipe for him falling in the polls then as it is now. In 2001, Bush came out with his budget, the press focused on program spending cuts (which is usually reduced increases). If the budget cut involves Veterans, kids, or the elderly, or farmers then it made the first 10 min of the news night after night. Then the stonewallng Dems would make sure it stayed in the news. Remember back on 9/10/01 Bushes poll numbers where in the dumps.
