It’s not a presidential campaign poll, it’s a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey showing a disapproval rating of 71%, “No president has ever had a higher disapproval rating in any CNN or Gallup poll; in fact, this is the first time that any president’s disapproval rating has cracked the 70 percent mark”.

Na Ga Na Dol It. Wouldn’t be Prudent
Presidential Polls….I look at them, but don’t have anything to add, so I suggest Talking Points Memo’s Poll Tracker.
Well, I might comment on a trend, but my attempt at using Google Spreadsheets to deep a list of polls on my site gave my reader(s) nothing, and me a headache.
Worst President Ever
GW Bush’s popularity is now has a 28% approve and 69% disapprove ratings, the worst ever.
The previous low was held by Harry Truman in Jan 1952 of 67% disapproval, and no doubt the 28% dead-enders will make comparisons, but the Avignon president is no Harry Truman.
66% of Republicans still approve of his job, once again showing C=MI*, though if they are true to form, they will all pretend to have hated him for most of his term within 18 months of his leaving office.
The pathological need to support the person in charge is a disturbing part of the human makeup.

PA Polls All Over the Place
Not making any predictions, but I’ll refer you to TPM Poll Tracker. They show everything from a tie to a 20% lead for Clinton.
I’m not making a prediction.
28%
A survey released Thursday showed just 28 percent approve of the overall job he is doing. His previous record low in the poll was 30 percent last month.
A new record.
28% of the people in this country are completely delusional.
Senate Polls
First, we have Alaska, where Ted Stevens(R) gets 46%, and Mark Begich(D)gets 45%. It’s still early but this is not good news for Stevens, as undecideds typically break 2:1 for the challenger, giving Begich a very good chance of being the first Democratic Senator from Alaska since Mike Gravel.
In New Mexico, we have Tom Udall in a comfortable lead over his potential opponents, 54% to 40% over Steve Pearce and 56% to 36% over Heather Wilson, who has been seriously hurt by her involvement in the US Attorney firings scandal.
Bush Less Popular than Cancer
American Research Group‘s latest poll has only 19% of respondents approving of his job performance.
That’s worse than cancer. Hell, that’s worse than Dick Cheney.
Impeach him now, it’s a political plus.

Born Again Support for Republicans Drops
At least that is what this poll from the Barna Group Says.
The Barna group is a polling and publishing organization, “in partnership with Christian ministries and individuals to be a catalyst in moral and spiritual transformation in the United States.
How I’ll Be Tracking the Polls
As opposed to posting update posts, I’ve put a Google Spreadsheet on the top of my page.
To prevent useless scrollage, I’m going to not show the older results, but you can see the whole spreadsheet here, ready for things like export to excel or other analysis packages.
Anyone who uses these regularly, I have a couple of questions:
- Is there a way to vary the weight of the borders?
- Is there a way to automatically bold the leader in a poll (I’ve played around with Google’s conditional formatting, and ti does not yet quite make it there).
Otherwise, consider this an open thread.
