16. i think his core support is around 32%

i don't see him falling below that. We may be getting under 40% though.

the US had anything remotely resembling a free press.

10. Bush's poll numbers sucked pre 9/11

Seriously, he was right at 50, and he was widely
viewed as having no mandate and crusing to defeat
in 2002 midterms following Jefford's defection.

The media is culpable in that it chose to keep
the patriotic meme going for two whole years, but
I do think that Americans did support Bush in a
panic, much as they did in patriotic fervor in
the Spanish-American War of 1898.

8. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The 50% line has been crossed in both directions!
Bush is going to get beaten like a red-haired stepchild,
and I'm going to throw the wildest, beer-blastingest,
box social ever!

My partner's parents are major republicans and we are all meeting up in Las Vegas this weekend. Normally the subject of politics is avoided. You can BET it will be avoied even more!

I love his parents, they are coming around and are becoming more open and excepting towards me so I'll just keep my giggles about W's free fall to myself.

11. 42 % say Hopeful or Happy? What kind of poll is this....weird wording....

Such a disconnect........

[hedda_foil]

14. Only 21% say "Happy"

Hopeful is very much open to personal interpretation.
