Monday January 30, 2006--Fifty percent (50%) of American adults approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove.
The President earns approval from 82% of Republicans, 25% of Democrats, and 41% of those not affiliated with either major political party.
In Tennessee, the Senate race to replace Bill Frist (R) is a toss-up. In North Dakota, Senator Kent Conrad (D) holds a double digit lead over potential challengers. Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty (R) holds a very modest lead over Attorney General Mike Hatch (DFL) in his bid for re-election. The Minnesota Senate race is a toss-up.

Watch the Lefties continue to refer to the 40% number and ignore the new numbers.
Once again the Democrats prove they are their own worst enemies.
Lefties are on suicide watch.
North Dakota is a dark red state, Conard must be crushed in this coming elections, it is inexcusable that he will win his re-election. The RNC must work very hard in defeating him.
wait until the sadam tapes are given more press.

How long do you think it will take CNN to counter with another biased poll? Like the one, which indicated that most felt Bush was failing in his second term.
CNN, wrong 24/7/365...
"Yeah, but it's just a State of the Union speech blip...
Iraq, Alito, Iran, Bush lied, Bush spied, blah, blah, blah..."
Of course they will. Good Morning America's Charles Gibson said today that Bush should just "be honest and tell everyone how bad it is". Maybe in their circle. These people are fools. They believe their slanted polls and then when elections come they are the ones scratching their heads
Interesting for the first time in months disapproval rating is below 50. Why the uptick?
A rule of thumb with all Rasmussen polls is add 3-5 percentage points to the Republican.
Wow.... that's a pretty good number when you factor in that we Nasty right wingers tend to go out and enjoy our ill gotten riches on Fridays and Saturdays.
Isn't amazing, that after a 5-year, relentless campaign, his numbers are where they are? if they had been honest and reported news instead of making it up, he might very well be hovering around 65% approval. They must be depressed.
Possibly no big blow ups in Iraq, and the news that some of the "America Out" terrorists are killing the Al Queda "Let's kill all Americans anywhre" terrorists? (Aside from ongoing good economic news and "pocketbook issues.")
This is a valid assumption... when looking at what the OTHER side is offering.
Chrissie Matthews is 'gonna p_ss blood when he hears this poll.
HAHAHHAa Like Charlie Gibson knows how "bad" anything is.
Yep, the cities are filled with soup lines...I tell ya! /sarcasm.
When will the talking heads learn that not everyone wants to identify with misery, for misery's sake, especially when it isnt pervasive.
