Who are these people who make Bush' polls go up and down?
Edited on Tue Sep-19-06 03:47 PM by PlanetBev
How can they be as low as 33% a month ago and now up to 44%? What has this guy done to earn higher a approval rating? What makes him less of an idiot today than he was last week? Someone, please, help me out with this.

I just don't get it. I hated him yesterday, I hate him today and I can guarantee you, I'm gonna hate him tomorrow.

1. This was the real purpose of Bush's "Third Awakening" speech to religious
leaders.

They carried the message back to their flocks.

2. No one I know has changed their mind.
And I'd say it's human nature that once the trust is gone and people turn; hard as hell to get it back. Bush has done NOTHING to win back trust.

I'd say people with very deep pockets are manipulating those poll numbers (AND gas prices). Can't imagine who though. ;-)

I'm tempted to recommend this thread just for the title.

Edit: Jeff Gannon, for one.

6. Closer To The Election
It's much easier to steal.....errrrr.....win.....when the polls are close come election day.

They'll get his #'s above 45%, so it looks like they held onto both houses legitimately.

7. Yes, I don't
understand how in the world he would be rebounding like that at this point, unless there is an election just around the corner and we have a pysops program in full bloom? :shrug:

He's been consistently between 30-40% since Katrina of last year and now he has done something to rise into the mid 40's??

Don't believe it.

8. You can ignore most fo these fluctuations...
the vast majority of it is merely 'ripples in the backwash'.

9. I believe it is a bunch of lying Pollsters, and a
compliant and unquestioning MSM.

It's all done to make the next election theft plausible. Period.
