Aug2005	36%	58%	6%

Nov 2004	51%	43%	6%
Oct 2004	45%	47%	8%

Makes me think of the chorus of this song, especially when you ask yourself how many people would support W even if there was a live telecast of him personally assaulting Cindy Sheehan and Valerie Plame/Wilson.....

Update: But see the results of this Rasmussen poll, which show a much rosier picture for Bush (48% approve). With reasonable sample sizes, there's no way to rationalize these difs...except that Rasmussen has four categories: "Strongly Approve (23%)", "Somewhat Approve (25%)", "Somewhat Disapprove (14%)", "Strongly Disapprove (38%)". I'd love to see the similar breakdown in the R poll over time: perhaps what is happening is that formerly strong approvers have moved to being very weak somewhat approvers, with some of them preferring "disapprove" to "approve" if forced to choose.....
