I read about this poll. Apparently the sampling was a bit off, something like 37% Democrat to 24% Republican used from the sample. The poll numbers are bad, no question, I just don't think they are worse than they were two weeks ago, which is what this poll seems to indicate.
There is definitely a morose mood in the country right now. And the funny thing is that the economy is actually doing better than it has in quite a while. The big hits from Katrina and Rita had a huge emotional impact, though. The economic impact hurt some people a lot, but I actually think in terms of the overall economy the psychological impact was far worse. >http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/03/AR2005110301685.html > >Bush's Popularity Reaches New Low >58 Percent in Poll Question His Integrity > >For the first time in his presidency a majority of Americans question >the integrity of President Bush, and growing doubts about his >leadership have left him with record negative ratings on the economy, >Iraq and even the war on terrorism, a new Washington Post-ABC News >poll shows. > >On almost every key measure of presidential character and performance, >the survey found that Bush has never been less popular with the >American people. > >[SNIP] > >Just 35 percent of those surveyed rated the economy as either >excellent or good, with 65 percent describing it as not so good or >poor.
