Rasmussen: Mini-Surge for Bush

I suppose it should probably just be attributed to Reagan nostalgia and the fact that the press hasn't been able to beat the Abu Ghraib bongos effectively for a week. It's probably ephemeral, and doesn't mean anything.

But Rasmussen Reports is showing a surge for Bush (and congressional Republicans) in just about every measure:

* Head to Head: Bush 47%, Kerry 44% (Bush up two, Kerry down one from yesterday)

* Generic Congressional: Dem 42%, Rep 38% (stubborn Dem lead narrowed by 2)

* 54% prefer Bush on National Defense, highest in two months

* 26% Say Terrorists Winning... Lowest Level in Six Weeks

* 40% Say Economy Getting Better; Highest Since January

* Consumer Confidence Index highest since January

* 43% Say Bush Good or Excellent on Iraq Highest reading in seven weeks

and

* Bush Job Approval at 52%; it's bounced between 50 and 52 of late

So it looks like Bush is rebounding. Partly on the de-escalation of violence in Iraq, partly on the improving economy, which the public is finally starting to register.

It like Joshua Micah Christopher Thomas Steffan Geoffrey Tavington-Cavendish Marshall's semi-prediction of Bush's job approval falling into the thirties was, shockingly enough, hyperpartisan hackery.

"Where's the floor?" Joshy wanted to know.

Well, the floor now looks around 50%.

"And, shockingly enough, it looks like Joshua Micah Christain Thomas Steffan Geoffrey Tavington-Cavendish Marshall's semi-prediction of Bush's job approval falling into the thirties was, shockingly enough, hyperpartisan hackery."

Now Ace, let's be fair. When he made the statement, Joshua Micah Cecil Frances Julian Hoingy-bonk Dieselfuel Marshall didn't know that Reagan's death would come to Bush's rescue, nor could he reasonably have been expected to rely on actual facts. So cut him a little slack, please.

And I should note, while reading the statistics you posted, David Coverdale did hit that really high note when he sings "Here I COOOOOOOOOOOOOOME...", and he's either hitting the wrong note or he changed the song's key temporarily, and it goes into the solo. Now that's good blogging.

And to be fair, I should say that, like a drifter, I was born to walk alone.

Joshua "not gay" Marshal?

I've been known to walk down the only road I've ever known.

One road. That's all I've known.

I should get out more often.

From Archimedes: Democrats are really now arguing that it's time to open the Big Tent to Nazis:
At Insty:

How it's going: How 'Big Tent' Are Democrats Willing to Go? Many in the party say it needs a wider range of candidates to run. Does that include people with Nazi tattoos?

Senator Martin Heinrich of New Mexico said, "Graham has made a lot of mistakes in his life. He's had a very long journey to the place where he is today, but he's owned those mistakes, owned up to them, and he's evolved." Khanna called the tattoo "horrendous," but said: "Do we want our political governing class to be like the classmates I had at Yale Law School, some of them who dreamed of being president of the United States from the age of twelve?" He continued, "Or do we want normal people also having a chance at these offices?"

--The Atlantic, today. Have they SEEN the people who vote for them?
Link to Ed Driscoll's post here
Black Conservative Perspective says there's a "Woke Civil War" going on in the left over this Nazi, with Race Marxists -- mostly black -- absolutely determined to cancel him, while the straight-up Communists -- mostly white rich-bitch nepo babies -- are fighting like hell for him. As many have noted: Communists are always willing to make a tactical alliance with Nazis. (And, of course, Communists are just totalitarian socialists with an internationalist foreign policy, while Nazis are totalitarian socialists with a nationalist foreign policy. They're two anti-human peas in a pod.)
The white communists are fighting hard for this guy because he is an open, avowed communist, and they think his completely-fake "normal blue-collar guy" persona can be used to do what they cannot do, sell communism to the working class.

"On the eleventh orbital test flight today of Starship/Superheavy, SpaceX basically achieved all its engineering goals, with both Superheavy and Starship completing their flights as planned, with Superheavy doing a soft vertical splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico, and Starship doing a soft vertical splashdown in the Indian Ocean."
