Rabid right wing site that I came from posted this jewel today.
I thought his approval rating was in the mid 40's?
Why do I post this ? Simply to point out the hypocrisy of the left who gloated at lower polling numbers earlier. Would any of them have posted this ? No, it wouldn't fit their propaganda agenda. How could they say it is no surprise or that the American people are waking up to the 'evil' policies of Bush ?

There is no relevance other than to show the dishonesty of those who sought to propagandize with other polls. This poll proves nothing other than it is a snapshot of public opinion at one moment in time, just as those polls posted earlier were.

Bush Job Approval at 50%
Most measures of national satisfaction remain stable after dropping last month

by Jeffrey M. Jones

GALLUP NEWS SERVICE

PRINCETON, NJ -- A new Gallup Poll shows a slight recovery in George W. Bush's job approval rating after hitting a low of 45% a few weeks ago during the height of the Terri Schiavo controversy. Other measures of national satisfaction appear to have stabilized at lower levels than where they were earlier this year. There has been some change in Americans' assessment of the most important problem facing the country compared with last month, as people have become more concerned about gas prices and less concerned about the Iraq war, though the latter issue remains atop the list.

Bush Job Approval

The April 4-7 poll shows half of Americans now approving of the job Bush is doing as president, while 45% disapprove. Roughly two weeks ago, Bush's job approval rating dipped to 45%, the lowest of his presidency to date, perhaps as a result of the federal government's involvement in the Schiavo case. A subsequent poll, conducted April 1-2, showed a slight recovery to 48%, which suggests that the fading of the Terri Schiavo case from the headlines may have helped Bush. Additionally, Pope John Paul II's funeral last week gave Bush a chance to fulfill a non-controversial presidential role as the representative of the U.S. government in attendance.

Now look at these, this is the direction of country, and who do you suppose is the director? So do people know what they are even saying? Every one of them says wrong track...
