Rasmussen: Bush Approval At 47%

I question the timing.

The American people have no right to engage in a more serious evaluation of the issues right before an election.

Forty-seven percent (47%) of American adults approve of the way that President Bush is performing his job. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove. Those are by far the best numbers for the President since mid-February.

The spike is fueled largely by a resurgence of support among the President’s base. Eighty-five percent (85%) of Republicans now offer their approval. At its low point earlier in the year, just 66% of the GOP faithful approved of his job performance.

...

Since this is just the third day of a bounce, it remains to be seen whether this reflects lasting change or is nothing more than statistical noise.

Up from around 40% in January.

Too bad elections aren't held in January, huh?
