Rasmussen: Bush Bounces

Also stolen from FreeRepublic, news that isn't quite cowbell-worthy. But we're so desperate for COWBELL, we'll give it a little tiny cowbell gif.

Rasmussen has Bush's numbers climbing on most fronts.

42% now say Bush's leadership on Iraq is Good or Excellent, the best that figure has stood in a month. Not great, certainly-- but better than it has been.

Bush advances ahead of Kerry 45-43. Not great, but Bush had been behind. This particular finding probably doesn't mean much, as both men see-saw back and forth between 43 and 47%. Still.

Bush up three points to score 41% Good or Excellent handling on the economy. This is one to watch. Rasmussen says these are the best ratings on the economy since John Kerry won the primary.

And this is the big one: Job Approval at 52%. Not terrific, but you can, and probably would, win with that number.

Meanwhile, the generic Congressional ballot shows Republicans pulling to within the margin of error with Democrats. They had been further behind.
