That Bush Bounce

As Mr. Atrios over at Eschaton persists to state that Bush is enjoying a huge bounce, he fails to notice that there is a new more sobering poll out there. Here are some highlights from the wonderful article: A new Gallup poll shows that, for the first time, Bush’s approval rating has fallen below 50% among total fucking morons, and now stands at 44%. This represents a dramatic drop compared to a poll taken just last December, when 62% of total fucking morons expressed support for the president and his policies. This tidbit may resonate with Mr. Atrios a bit more, since he is such a big fan of Rick Santorum: Faltering approval ratings for the president among a group once thought to be a reliable source of loyal support gives Republicans one more reason to be nervous about the upcoming mid-term elections. “If we can’t depend on the support of total fucking morons,” says Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), “then we’ve got a big problem. They’re a key factor in our electoral strategy, and an important part of today’s Republican coalition. My challenge to anyone out there, including Mr. Atrios, show me some polls that show Bush going in the right direction. (hat tip to my dad for the "article")
