We'll see what today's poll brings. Then we can see what this.

Rasmussen is a good pollster.

41-57 split, right where he was before the 9-11 bounce.

his name reminds me of that bearded mystic weirdo who used to advise the Romanov family in pre-Bolshevik Russia. 

if you look at the results, there's very little change over the past year, and it's always about 43 plus or minus 3 points approval to 55 plus or minus three points disapproval.  1500 adults polled.

My comments bore in mind a whole bunch of other polling data presented in the WSJ, on Hardball, on CNN, on Fox, and on the internet.  Many of those polls showed his approval actually dipped to around a third of the respondents, and then started climbing out and now staying over forty.  FOX/Opinion Dynamics had him at around 33 in april, then slowly gaining, with some expected noise, and he now stands at about 40 in that poll. 

Here's a compendium.  There are probably others.

If Bush is actually at 47%, that's pretty sad.

With the war in Iraq going absolutely terrible, the fact that no progress has been made in the overall war on terrorism, gas prices are *still* very high, warrantless telephone wiretapping of U.S. citizens (a.k.a. domestic spying), and the attempt to make torture of prisoners legal should make every single *normal* person in this country want to vomit.

47% was likely just an outlier.
