a question....

this is for the americans: what is Bush's approval rating!?!?!

I talked to a liberal friend of mine saying that his approval rating is rising, then I talked to a conversative friend (yes, I have one *L*) saying that "nobody likes him"....I hope to god it's the latter, but now I'm confused.

so, if anybody could set me straight on this, that'd be appreciated. I cannot stand Bush, so I'm scared about him getting re-elected if he is "popular". dear god, no. I don't want him to have power for yet another 4 years....

I talked to Becky yesterday and I requested a few select items from the States: Canvas' from Michaels' (they're cheaper. One canvas from Papershare is £11! fuck that..), Kraft Mac'n'Cheese, Oreos, NyQuil and Chocolate Chip Cookies from Lunds!

By the way, I bought Manic Street Preachers: Lipstick Traces this morning at the HMV on Oxford St. So v. fab. So far my fav's are "Judge Yr'self", "Been a Son" (Nirvana cover), and this pretty softer version of "Spectators of Suicide".

I know my dad supports Bush and he's not one of those people who you can debate with, so it's useless for me to even try to talk with him about those sorts of things.

It just *shocks* me how Bush can always have a high approval rating.....probably buying his popularity stats like he did the election....;)

It's pretty much war vs. economy. And it might not even be approval in the form of "would you vote for him" so much as "out of all these candidates which one do you recognize and would fuck up the country the least between 1994-1998" and then there's always "Is he doing a good job" which sounds like a bad employee meeting. Approval in this case could mean people that didn't positively answer the question about throwing him out by his ear.
