Rasmussen Poll: Bush approval rating SINKING FAST

[Grebrook]

39% approval, 58% disapproval. This is the first time since mid-August, after the failed terror hijackings over London and Ned Lamont's primary victory over Joseph Lieberman that his approval has dipped below 40% on Rasmussen's charts.

Rasmussen is clearly one of the most Bush-tilted approval measuring polls in the country, if not the most. Back in February Rasmussen claimed Bush had a 47% approval rating. Their meter has him on a downward trend, and this seems to correlate with the falling numbers for the GOP. The GOP "boost" following Sept 11 is officially OVER.

The senate is looking better for Dems, the Congressional Generic Ballot numbers are looking better, with even Fox News giving Dems an 11 point lead among likely voters.

Bush's approval is falling. Expect it to be worse for the Reps by November, especially now that they're one less safe seat.

1. I hope they let junior keep on with his PR blitz. It's really

doing wonders.

2. Nonsense. That's what the War on Iran is for.

Or is it possible that none of us will be fooled or impressed?

6. If anybody thinks that a war with Iran is going to help ChimpCo...

they are not thinking rationally. With 2/3's of the US electorate pissed about Iraq, I don't think starting another war with Iran is going to help them. Wag the Dog has hurt them severely this past twelve months.

Waggin another dog ain't gonna help them.

5. you lose a war, you lose power-ask Lyndon Johnson. Iraq is

lost. Afghanistan is "dire". The only time shrub's rating went up is when he hid Iraq in 9/11 anniversary spectacle. (a dead cat bounce).
Bottom line is you can't hide a war-everyone knows the responsibility is with the President and his rubber stamp Congress.

8. we still have to weather the Oct surprise

and the nasty GOP onslaught until then.

this is going to be a fight against nasty, vicious, treasonous bullies.
