Bush's Approval Rating Rises
President George Bush's approval rating jumped significantly in mid-June following several positive developments in the war in Iraq, a new poll reveals.
The Zogby International telephone survey of more than 1,000 respondents found that Bush's job approval rating has risen to 36 percent, up from 31 percent just two weeks earlier.
According to Zogby, developments that evidently helped the president include the death of al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, reports that the United States had captured a large amount of terrorist intelligence material, and Bush's surprise trip to Iraq, along with word that Bush adviser Karl Rove would not be indicted in connection with the investigation of a White House leak.
"President Bush gets a bump from the recent events in Iraq, which amounts mostly to his winning back some support from what had been his eroding political base," said pollster John Zogby.
"But whether this changes the political equation heading into the fall congressional midterm elections is unclear. The trend with the Bush job approval numbers has been that when he gets a bump, it is short-lived.
"The developments in Iraq demand that Democrats come up with an alternative plan of action that taps into the widespread American dissatisfaction with the war. So far, that hasn't happened."
Asked who would get their vote in the November congressional elections, 38 percent said they would vote for a Democrat and 29 percent said they would choose a Republican. But nearly one-third were undecided.
The Zogby poll also disclosed that Congress gets an approval rating much lower than the president's disappointing mark - only 20 percent of respondents gave Congress a positive job approval rating for its work.

More typical mass brain-washing and 'mind-bending' from the liberal control box.

I assume that you mean the TV?? That's a great description for it!!

Ha! I like that. The TV is a 'liberal control box.' I've got to remember that line, perfect.
Exception, Lou Dobbs.

I guess some naive conservatives will believe anything this joker in the White House tells them. I'm simply amazed at how dumb and gullible people are in this country.

The ZOG-by poll? Hmmmm...makes ya wonder.
