Bush's Poll Numbers about the Same

With the death of Zarqawi, some people were expecting Bush to get an upward bump in the polls. But I think slowly Americans are realizing that Bush's policies are not doing us much good, if at all. CBS, for example, has Bush down to a 33% approval rating. The only thing Bush is doing to improve his numbers is changing his song and dance routine rather than addressing some very serious problems. I don't know if Americans will buy into different labeling or not, though public relations is the one thing Bush knows how to do. Still, it's still possible he'll do something meaningless that in spite of everything will improve his numbers.

The Moderate Voice has a lengthy post on Bush's poll numbers:

A new CBS News poll indicates President George Bush is still stuck in the Benny's Bargain Basement level of polling results after the death of Iraqi terrorist chief Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, which some analysts felt would given him a substantial boost.

And a Rasmussen Reports poll echoes the CBS poll's finding: that there has been little change in perceptions of the President's handling of Iraq....

I find it worrisome that there are Americans still cutting Bush considerable slack; so many of our current problems have been inflicted by Bush and his right wing advisers. Iraq, for example, is a mess because George W. Bush doesn't know what he's doing.
