No Bounce Bush's Approval #s Fall In 3 Post British Terror Bust Polls
Today's Gallup Poll shows No Bounce falling from a minus 16% to a minus 22%. (Was 40-56, now 37-59) And
as the article cited below points out, both the latest CBS (36%) and Newsweek (38%) show him going nowhere
as well.

So much for GOP's 2006 election terror strategy. It just ain't happening.

2. No one likes AWOL preppy frat boys who lie about WMDs
Edited on Tue Aug-15-06 09:21 AM by SpiralHawk
who lie about their military service, who fall off their bike repeatedly like a drunken sot landing on their face, and who also ignore TWO CLEAR STATEMENTS that America is under attack ON 9/11, and who instead just sit there like a lump of curdled cocaine residue reading "My pet Goat."

Therefore, this poll result is: UNDERSTANDABLE.

3. In fairness, I don't think Bush can really claim his strategy caught
those guys.

4. They've gone to the well too many times.
A while ago, someone posted a master timeline of Bush's approval ratings in multiple polls. Each time there was some terror alert or terror-related development (i.e., an Osama Bin Laden tape), his approval rating spiked. But with each incident, the spike was smaller and smaller, as if the electorate was becoming fatigued.

They've hit rock bottom. They've cried wolf, and everyone is finally smart enough to see through it.

5. It certanly isn't for want of trying. Our corporate media pimped that
story for all it was worth, and spun it precisely the way the GOP wanted them to.

And they will next time,too. But that's one of the reasons this lack of a spike is so amazing. We have to fight through two layers of propaganda: the GOP spinners and the corporate media. If the public is starting to see through both of them, that is real progress. Of course the GOP and their puppet press will just find more and more outrageous spinning material.

7. People have either wised up or burnt out
Some are finally seeing through all the BS and others are just so tired of living in fear that they don't care anymore.
