From Pollster.com, polling results for the week of July 9:Harris:
73% rate Bush's performance "poor" or "fair";
26% rate it "excellent" or "good"
70% say things in the US have "pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track";
19% say the country is "going in the right direction"
USA Today/Gallup:
71% favour removing all troops from Iraq by April 2008;
26% oppose
And interestingly, the Pew news index:
70% say they "followed the news about current events and Iraq closely",
30% did not
Coincidence? Looking at these figures, one might surmise that the only people who approve of Georgie's performance, Iraq and the direction of the country in general are those who have no idea what the fuck is going on. Finally, an explanation for that mysterious 26% who continue to support Bush in spite of all the evidence that shows they should not. They just haven't seen the evidence.
