It was about the gas prices and it was about many of us disgusted at the White House and their refusal to defend themselves. You can't get into the 30's without losing support among your supporters. Supporters don't blame their guy for gas prices, though certainly the gooey middle does to some degree.

Really, I don't know if I could have given Bush the thumbs up 2 weeks ago.

It was also about the fact that he lost his base (including me) for a brief period we shall call "The Dark Days of Miers."

And the whole Aniston-Pitt-Jolie thing, which, let's face it, was all Bush's fault.

Yeah, that and the fact that AP-Ipsos is a complete load of codswallop.

Have you checked the numbers at the polls that haven't been cooked by Fox (a wholly-owned subsidary of the RNC)?

Seriously---the tobacco companies have plenty of studies that "prove" cigarettes anr not addictive. But you wouldn't believe them, would you? (Please, god, tell me you wouldn't---I'd hate to think you're that dumb)

Then why would you believe any poll from the obviously dishonest people at Fox?

Well, at least you didn't try to spell it "Faux."

Other than that mild point in your favor, your post sucks the ass out of a dead Barry Manilow.

Have you checked the numbers at the polls that haven't been cooked by Fox

Yep, Rasmussen reports the exact same thing.

My bad, Rasmussen has it at 46%!

Gas prices and Harriet Meyers. Boy are the Dems going to be glum this Christmas.

Care to provide some actual evidence as to why they're dishonest?

You can compare Fox/Opinion Dynamics polls to Gallup, Newsweek, Time, NBC/WSJ, etc. at pollingreport.com. It's pretty much in line with all the others.

But also contributing to the rebound: the stock market, up 3.5% in November; consumer confidence is way up; Plamegate turned into nothing-gate. Alito. I'm looking forward to a good 2006.

Care to provide some actual evidence as to why they're dishonest?

Evidence? This isn't about facts or evidence. This is about simple faith.

It's one of the deeply-held beliefs of modern liberalism - gospel of Franken, book of Moore - Fox News is evil. End of story.

Their belief in their gods is just as strong as the faith of the people in hated "Jesusland."

you are all missing the most important part as to why President Bush's approval numbers are going up: egg nog.

you know Rove is lacing that stuff with something. betcha all of us will be worshiping THE LEADER by the time the ball drops.

honestly, you people gotta start thinking logically.

He doesn't have to.
Everybody knows that chicken fetuses are resolute republicans, though they can't vote...on their own.

Egg nog, or 'speaking out through amino acids,' as they term it, is the only avenue they have to make their wishes known.

Come on. You can't tell me you've never had a cup of egg nog and then immediately felt the strong desire to lower steel tariffs.

And the whole Aniston-Pitt-Jolie thing, which, let's face it, was all Bush's fault.

I heard it was Dick Cheney's ... well, you know.
