Bush at 55

Not that it's anything to get that excited about, because it's means a nearly given re-election number at this time, but both Liberal Oasis and HNN want to know more about that TIME poll that shows:

The current Time magazine offers this from a Dec. 17-18 Time/CNN poll:

In general, do you approve or disapprove of the way President Bush is handling his job as President?

Approve -- 55%
Disapprove -- 37%

Well, it's not on Pollkatz or Polling Report yet, two sites that report all polling, but it's probably due to the holidays.

Update: Here's another poll done in the last week that shows Bush in the 50's. On the economy, 39% approve, 47% disaprove: Concerns Over Economy Halt Bush Approval Rating Gains.

If anyone didn't get it I was being sarcastic with my last post.

Don't know, there are other polls that I think were taken around the same time showing Bush at 66% and 63%.

MyDD, you get my last email?

In recent months, within a given poll, there's been about a 20-point difference between Bush's job approval rating (usually in the mid-low 60s) and his re-elect number (i.e., would people "probably" or "definitely" vote for Bush, which has been in the mid-low 40s). Unquestionably, there are a lot of people out there who will say they approve of Bush's job approval at the moment, but are not prepared to say they would vote for him for re-election. If the Time/CNN 55% approval rating is truly indicative of a long-term decline in Bush's job evaluation, his re-elect number would almost certainly have to show some erosion, too.

Reynolds is saying in an email that it's a fake poll, lol. The conservatives know it's bad news.

That's the poll, but it's a short piece on the info.

The numbers are slipping--better get the war back in the headlines.

Pollkatz has it plotted on the graph now - it's the purple triangle at the end of the graph. Let's not panic that the media isn't covering this right now - it's not as if anyone would be paying attention to the media anyway Christmas and New Years weeks.

NBC News just reported that Senator Bill Frist's plane flipped over on takeoff at a Tennesee airport. The Senator, one of his sons and his cousin were on board, along with staff members. That's all I heard. I pray to God that Senator Frist and the rest of those onboard are okay.

That was Frist's son's plane. Nobody seriously hurt.
