Poll also still shows *fewer* Americans support Bush

I find polls like this pretty disturbing, and think they reflect poorly on the American people.

Take heart, Robert - it may still be a simple majority [pun most definitely intended] but it's smaller. A lot of people read poll results only as the instantaneous value on the curve at time T, and can't see that the trend is more important.

REB will continue to insist that the poll indicates majority support for Bush and his misguided policies - which it does - and continue to draw a blank on the trend. The big problem as I see it: the Clinton Admin' gained the reputation of "governing by poll results"; the Bush Backlash cares not a whit for anyone's opinion - not allies, not its own citizens, "not nobody, not nohow!"

Pay no attention to that audience in front of the curtain! The Great and Powerful Oz has spoken!
