Overall, a Yawnfest.

42% among National adults = 45% among likely voters.

Bush had 45% among Likely voters in the Rasmussen poll in 2004.

He recieved 62 MILLION votes.

Only a detestable lib who has the attention span of a ferret and the memory bank of a gnat would look at a Rasmussen poll of national adults and chirp.

During 2002, 2003 and 2004, Rasmussen only did polls of likely voters with side samples of national adults as a comparison. Had he used the national adult sample as his top sample, Bush would have hit as low as 40% in Rasmussen during 2004, when Bush hit 43% among likely voters in late May 2004.

I prefer to be an optimistic conservative. I look at my ranks of voters. In 1996, I had a list of two people who I looked at to vote at election time. For most of my life it was myself. I voted. Then I got a list of family members who never voted and friends in 2000 at about 30. In 2004, it hit 55. It continues to grow and the ranks have not fallen.

Enthusiasm may be low among thumb sucking libublicans, but reality turns in favor of the GOP in 2006.

Democrats look to their future voter ranks and see a stream of fetal runoff that's 32 years long.

45% approval among likely voters is pretty damn good considering the news bildge.

I trust that Rasmussen is correct as usual, but only a fool would look at the last month of polling and see anything but a range of 45% to 52% among likely voters and cringe.

Take the long view.

Be a true conservative.

I do not worry.

I hold ranks and fight and win.

The 2005 bildge flows like it did last year and the year before.

Perspective, my fellow conservatives.

45%, ain't so bad.
