Bush Soars - ABCNEWS/Washington Post Poll

ABC News ^ | 17 Nov 03 | ABC NEWS/WA POST

[america-rules]

According to an ABCNEWS/Washington Post poll, Bush's overall job approval rating stands at 57 percent

Those are positive results for the White House given that the last few weeks have been some of the deadliest in Iraq since the war started in March. So is the fact that 62 percent of Americans say U.S forces should remain until order is restored, despite the casualties.

Delicious!!

The spin on the radio was that his numbers didn't change from last month but last month it was breaking news that it went down 4 points?

[GrandmaPatriot]

I guess the dims should just keep on bashing Bush. It's doing so much good. They can make it landslide for the Pubbies in the election.

[MinuteGal]

Hahahahahha!

The faster the Dem dwarves go, the behinder they get.

Gotta love this!

Presidential Approval

While Bush's job approval rating is down 20 points from his 2003 high of 77 percent at the height of the war, his current rating, 57 percent, matches the career averages of Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan.

Even Bush's low — 53 percent a month ago — is high when compared with the previous four presidents. Clinton's low was 43 percent approval, Reagan's 42 percent. Bush's father bottomed out at 33 percent and Jimmy Carter reached 28 percent.

His interview with David Frost was great . He's confident, quick and is absolutely committed to reshaping the Middle East.

Septmber 11, 2001 has defined this guy. He's on a mission and will not back down.

Isn't this one of them Liberal polls?

In a related story, all news and media outlets throughout the Country are deeply saddened.
"How can this be?" One journalist was heard speaking to a colleague. "I just don't get it, we keep throwing all this negative information out there, and it just isn't sticking", a journalist at the NY Times was heard mumbling.

Perhaps people appreciate that he's showing some resolve and not pulling our troops out of Iraq just because things are getting dicey (unlike Slick and Somalia). I know that's the case with me.

I wonder if it's higher then ABC & The WP want to admit

[xzins]

There are sharp partisan differences in Bush's ratings. Nine in 10 Republicans approve of his performance as president; that slides to 51 percent of independents and only a third of Democrats.

This spells doom for any Bush adversary. If he wins among independents, then he wins overall. If, as this suggests, he adds a number of democrats, then the nutty 9 are in big trouble.

"Seventy-two percent of men say U.S. forces should remain in Iraq until order is restored, compared with 53 percent of women. Just among independents — classic swing voters — the gender gap is 27 points."

I think the gals get it! Sorry, I must get up at 4:30 to work on such a weapons system. It's the best one! Goodbye,

[OneTimeLurker]

Good. Maybe we really will stay until the job is finished. I have my doubts though.

[rs79bm]

I predict I will win re-election. Afterall, when you are the incumbent and are running unopposed, the
odds are pretty good-

Coming from ABCNEWS, this is surprising, many people could easily be drawn to the more bias articles like this one, "Pentagon Limits Media Coverage of Funerals", But I guess it all depends on what is NEWS and what is not

[Brimack34]

The more the Brits rip the president the higher his rating's will climb.

the puffster was, well, deeply saddened.
