It's now official: W can't win.

Well brace yourself folks. Seems Bush's approval numbers are slowly improving and it's still four months away from the election for them to get really good.

I guess if you look at only ONE set of numbers on a biased poll he will always be doing well. However if you actually take the time to look at the big picture he's not fairing as well. Plus he's below 50% re-election and as far as I know no incumbant has won with a below 50% re-election number this close to the election.

While none of the individual numbers in and of themselves mean much, if anything, considered in the aggregate and with an eye toward trendings, they well may show an evolution in overall voter perception, an evolution not confidence-inspiring for The Opposition; by an averaqge of then-contemporary polls, at this point in 1988, Dukakis had an upper-teens advantage over the incumbent Reagan.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled ABB Circle-jerk to remind you of what Clinton didn't do.

1. He gave North Korea a windfall of support while they proliferated WMD rather than ending the NUCLEAR crisis like his own Military Advisors suggested.

2. He allowed Saddam Hussein to throw out the weapons inspectors, effectively allowing the gap in intelligence that resulted in faulty guesswork. Spin it any way you want folks; if the UN had remained, there would have been no reason to rely on questionable Intel.

3. Citing a survey of historians, who ultimately gave Clinton great grades as a President, lets examine where they thought his short comings were, shall we?

Out of 41 Presidents, he ranked 39th in foreign policy accomplishments.
Out of 41 Presidents, he ranked 38th in integrity.

Hmmm. Does that mean he was an untrustworthy man with horrible foreign policy? Hmmm.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled ABB Circle-jerk.

I follow Rasmussen since they take daily polls at different times of day and may get a more objective cross section. I realize Rasumussen frequently disagrees with polls run by the alphabet news sources that are primarily pro-Kerry.)

1. What the F*** does Clinton have to do with this?

2. Do you happen to have source other then your imagination?

3. All this was really irrelevant in anything dealing with the 2004 election

WAXHAW, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 2000

TownPages Subsidiary Ranked First Followed by Gallup and Zogby

TownPagesNet.com (AMEX: TPN), today announced that an independent analysis of pre-election polls and actual primary results found that its subsidiary Rasmussen Research most accurately predicted the outcomes of the Presidential Primary elections this year. Gallup and Zogby finished a close second and third.

The Washington, DC-based Progressive Review, (www.prorev.com) which conducted the "Primary Pollster Run-Off ", ranked Rasmussen Research number one in accuracy. Sam Smith, the magazine's publisher, commented, "the results suggest that, contrary to popular myth, polls do work, but that some work considerably better than others." "

Last March GWB announced adding 21,000 jobs for the whole country in February. Compare this to President Clinton's averag of 239,000 jobs per month for all 96 months of his Presidency.

During Clinton's two terms, the median income for American families increased by a solid 15% after inflation, according to Census Bureau figures. But it rose even faster for African Americans (33%) and Hispanics (24%) than it did for whites (14%). Families in the bottom fifth of the income distribution saw their incomes increase faster than those in the top 5%. In 2002(halfway thrugh Dubya's term) median income had declined 0.8%

at this point in 1988, Dukakis had an upper-teens advantage over the incumbent Reagan.

Moreover, the price-tags for other pieces of Clinton stupidity which have not yet come due will be substantially higher than 9-11. The price tag for Kosovo, for instance, is going to be having the UN come over here demanding that we hand Texas, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and California straight over to Mexico/Atzlan on the same basis of ethnicity being everything and rightful ownership and sovereignty not meaning anything anymore.

Kurt Welden of Pa. who is one of the more major experts in foreign policy in congress has termed the Clinton foreign policy an unmitigated disaster, all around the globe.

George W. Bush has been trying to undo the damage for the last four years.

This is beyond ridiculous.

I agree! Bizarre!

Hahahahaha! Now I see how it is...

Amazingly, you go into even further realms of fantasy in the same post. Kudos!
