In Illinois, Bush's approval rating, 38%, is higher than our Democrat governor up for reelection next year, who is at 36%...

[frankjr]

To determine where to cut funding to cover Katrina and Rita, Bush should takes funds earmarked by state, mulitply it by his approval rating for that state and send them the resulting amount.

[LasVegasMac]

45 Vermont Kerry 29% 69% -40%

I thought Canada owned Vermont - ?

LVM

[ex-snook]

Hey good work.

[Capriole]

Inconceivable.

[Sooth2222]

In Illinois, Bush's approval rating, 38%, is higher than our Democrat governor up for reelection next year, who is at 36%...

Has Bush decided to run for a third term? I hadn't heard the announcement.

[federal]

Interesting

Alabama Bush 51% 44% 7%

Louisiana Bush 51% 46% 5%

Mississippi Bush 55% 43% 12%

All the states hit by Katrina rate the President at 51% or higher, If that doesn't show the effect of the medias smear job I don't know what would.....

[msnimje]

What kind of grouchy, miserable people do they get to take these polls?

[SevenMinusOne]

These polls are absolutely meaningless - non-election year polls are historically not worth the paper they are printed on -

Even more so when the weightings in these polls are ridiculous - Over representation of DEM's in polls today is becoming comical - (CBS news recently had DEM's weighted at close to 40% and REP at 30%) -

[JudyinCanada]

Canada doesn't even own Canada.

France owns Canada.

[BoBToMatoE]

What the heck is up with Missouri. Ouch. We havent lurched that far left in 9 months. I wonder if they did all their polling in jackson and st. louis counties.

[BoBToMatoE]

p.s. I just checked their numbers.. I can assure you that Missouri is more than 28% republican and 35% democrat.

[ClaireSolt]

As the ratings are higher in the Katrina states than in the surrounding ones, just maybe the rest of the country takes a dim view of paying $250b to LA projects staffed by people from LA. Rubs me the wrong way.

[Mark]

What's up with those Florida numbers?

[Tribune7]

Hmmm, Dubya seems to be looking good in La. & Miss.

[WarrenC]

The Florida numbers are BS.

[bill1952]

They are bullsh*t. No way that poll is correct here.

[ohioWfan]

Ohio's numbers are bogus too.

Not a chance this is accurate information.

[Azzurri]

I don't really believe these numbers but, I must say, I'm glad the election was last year and not this one.

[nascaryankee]

Interesting, isn't it? People with first hand experience always know what is going on.
