Bush further loses the polarization battle
by Jerome Armstrong

New SUSA poll out, which is very instructive as to the question I've been raising about the bases and the GOTV potential. The poll takes the 1-10 measurement of the political and disaster leadership persons. Here are the rankings, from highest ranked to lowest:

U.S. Army General Russell Honore 6.8
Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour 6.4
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin 5.7
Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco 5.2
President of the United States George W. Bush 4.7
Director of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff 4.4
Director of FEMA Michael Brown 4.3

Bush gets a 6.7 from Republicans, a 2.9 from Democrats and 4.5 from Independents. 54% of Democrats give President Bush a score of "1," indicating he has done the worst possible job that any human in his position could have done. 16% of Republicans and 35% of Independents give the president a "1." By contrast, 26% of Republicans give the president a "10," indicating he has done the best possible job any human in his position could have done. 5% of Democrats and 8% of Independents give the President a "10. "

1. The Democrats who gave him 10s must have been drugged

That's all I have to say.
