#1 fake, but accurate.

#2 And they wonder why people stop watching them when they keep playing with loaded dice.

#3 When viewing such 'approval' ratings one should remember that disapproval comes from all directions. For instance, the data do NOT necessarily demonstrate that the Liberals' perspective has a 65% approval rating. More likely what is shown is that the population is polarized, with the 'middle' getting ever smaller. The President is trying to govern the 'whole' country, which means he has to be somewhere in the middle, with lots of both sides against him. (It sure would help if his PR machine was better.)

#4 Also keep in mind that many conservatives disapprove of the budget and various domestic policies.

But the cooking of the numbers is, well, not unbelievable. It's what I expect anymore.

#5 Guess bush won't be reelected in 2008.

So what difference does it make?

#6 25+35=60. What were the other 40%?

If they even refused to identify themselves by their political party, which is downright weird, then what credibility do they have in a poll? That's just way too flaky.

#7 Not everyone identifies themselves with a party, Moose. Voters are very much in three equal camps, Rep, Dem, and Ind. CBS fudged the numbers to drop the representation of Republicans from about 33% to 23%.
