One of the many great trend pollings here is "Gallup - electoral/approval. You go back in history and see how Poppy had a 37% approval when losing to Clinton and carter about 40% approval when he lost. Clinton had a 50% approval when he won.

8. Yeah, but look at Ronnie, 2.50 years into his term.

Or, about July 1983: he was at 45%, also. THAT is what worries me!!!!

9. Thanks for mentioning that, mlawson

I thought I remembered it that way. Some major Democrat -- maybe Tip O'Neill -- said at the time that he was sure Reagan wouldn't even run for reelection, given how low his popularity was.

6. It's pretty evident...

That the BFEE cannot pitch a whole 9 innings.

7. Still got a ways to go to reach the goal of ZERO approval.

So, we can't stop now.

The clarion: Bush is a phony. Bush is a crook. Bush is a cretinous, frustrated despot.

Keep up the good work, DU! You too, visiting Freepers!
