Quite the long lasting bounce - reminds me of Phil's .sig. To answer your question, the Rasmussen confidence level is on the middle frame down at the bottom, not too obvious: The national telephone survey of 1,500 Adults was conducted by Rasmussen Reports over the past three nights. Margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Methodology.
Historical perspective at http://mediamatters.org/columns/200609190002 via Atrios at Eschaton: Here then, is some much-needed historical perspective to put Bush's standing in context: * According to Gallup, on the eve of President John F. Kennedy's 1963 assassination, he was suffering the worst job-approval ratings of his presidency -- 58 percent. * In 1968, when the war in Vietnam was claiming hundreds of U.S. casualties each week, President Lyndon Johnson was considered so unpopular that he didn't even run for re-election. Johnson's average Gallup approval rating for that year was 43 percent. * When Reagan's second term was rocked by the Iran-Contra scandal, his ratings plummeted, all the way down to 43 percent. * This year, according to the Gallup numbers, Bush has averaged an approval rating of 37 percent.
