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.

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.

CBD and Sefton discuss President Trump's cabinet picks, including the all-important "Bikini Measure." And the continuing pogroms in Europe, driven by uncontrolled and massive Muslim immigration, and aided by Europe's traditional Jew-Hate.
Written by Ben Meiselas:

"Chuck Todd wrote the most idiotic thing I've read today, and it perfectly encapsulates the problem with corporate media. It's also a confession. He wrote, "These confirmation hearings may just save cable TV for the short term."

You see, people like Chuck Todd and their corporate benefactors are losing relevance. Americans are sick and tired of their lazy reporting, blatant lies, "both sides" equivocations, and outright cheerleading for fascism. By ignoring the most obvious lessons of history, corporate media rooted for chaos, drama, torment, crime, and hardship, believing idiocracy and fascism would be good for ratings.

Well, here it is, Chuck Todd. And no one cares about you or your network. In fact, we hold you responsible for forcing this circus upon us.

If Senate confirmation hearings take place at all, we, the people, are not watching them on your network, Chuck."

(Found on DU, if you hadn't guessed.)

Trump announces RFKJr. for HHS (via the NY Post):
"For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health," Trump wrote in his announcement, making rare use of his X account to broadcast a cabinet pick.

"The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!"

Midnight's Edge: Woke "Muh Diversity/Muh LGBT" leftist feminist Grace Randolf actually wonders if she's been in a leftwing bubble all along, and realizes that maybe the "Republican bubble" is larger than the leftwing one
She also realizes that social media and the legacy media have "misled" her.
Republicans aren't in a bubble. We all know what the left is thinking and saying because corrupt social media companies constantly push the Marxist propaganda media on us. It's the left that is sheltered and protected in curated spaces from ever hearing a dissenting point of view. Many of us might like to be in a bubble, but the Marxist propaganda media's domination, along with the Google/Microsoft determination that everyone's feeds must be stuffed full of the Marxist propaganda media ops, means we can't bubble up even if we'd want to.
