Which claim?

That Harris' polls are generally unreliable, or that the last one was in the 50s?

The former is my opinion based on experience, so you can either take it or leave it. The latter point I read in an article last night (which I am sure to be unable to find now) but give me a few moments and I can probably find it in another location...

You read the Harris polls wrong.The 51% number referred to handling of the mideast.

The Harris Poll 5/15-21/02
"How would you rate the overall job President George W. Bush is doing as president: excellent, pretty good, only fair, or poor?"
Excellent/ Pretty Good 74%
Only Fair/ Poor 25%
Not Sure/ Refused 1%
1,013 sampled

That poll question was different and related to a specific problem and not his overall rating - sorry.

I, too, read that the Harris poll was 51% approval rating and many on that thread spoke on how unreliable the Harris poll really is.
