The media makes no sense....
"The president's job approval is mired at the lowest level of his presidency — 39 percent. While four of five Republicans say they approve of Bush's job performance — enthusiasm in that support has dipped over the last year.
In December 2004, soon after his re-election, almost two-thirds of Republicans strongly approved of the job done by Bush. The AP-Ipsos survey found that just half in his own party feel that way now."
Ok I wasn't a math major in college but explain this to me.
Job Approval = 39%
4 of 5 Republicans say they approve...that's 80% of Republicans.
I guess if every single democrat doesn't approve then that would be about the right numbers. But 80% of the people that elected you...not a bad number...he never did get much support from democrats...why would he get it now when things are tense and the parties are divided even further.
Then the second paragraph said only half approve.
4 of 5 and half are not the same....???????
Ok...so which poll is on crack? I hate news....no one tells the truth anymore and then half of our country can't stand the truth anyways. They would rather live in a nice little bubble think the rest of the world is a peaceful place. bleh...people use stats and opinions and everything else to support themselves out of convenience but rarely do people just try and do or follow what is right.

+HI-1+ good post. i agree.
I'm just trying to figure out what to do with my life.... tough stuff
yeah polls are usually BS in my opinion
first you have to figure out who ran the polls.. see if they are bias to begin with
then even if they dont seem to have any bias.. they could still be BS
i know a person from KC that got a call from one of those polling machines
it was an automated message... .. this was prior to the election..
it was polling who people were going to vote for
it said something like.. press one for bush ....press two for kerry
so he pressed two... and it came back with
"you pressed one.. for george bush.. thank you for participating in our poll"
and hes all freaking out.. ... *2* *2* *2* *2* *2*!!!
sooo yeah..
anyway.. yeah.. i dont seem to have all that much free time for taking pictures
so i take alot while im at work... heh...
they like him...they don't like him. who freaking cares! it's his last term anyway, not like it's going to make a difference whether they say they like him or not. what's going to make a difference is what they choose to do next.
yip, see you at thanksgiving
