Just to highlight a point that Moni made. The "mystery" surrounding Bush's election in the first place and all those votes that couldn't be counted probably counts against him in many people's opinion.
"Moni 89% (highest percentage in the history of the office)of the people in the country disagree with you according to the washington post (a liberal rag if ever there was one) It seems you are in the minority thinking that the Bush administration is doing a lousey job. "
89% of the whole population or 89% of the people that actually bothered to vote?
I don't have a clue about newspapers in the U.S. but even liberal newspapers have been known to become controlled propaganda machines for the present government. Not that I'm saying the washington post is.
Apparently people are getting banged up for expressing views against Bush under any old pretext now.
I think many just find it ironic that America, the number one democratic country has a president that wasn't even clearly voted in by the majority of people in the country (not to mention what his brother does for his image).
Actually Eternity its 89% of the population. The polls that are done are only statistical models but are fairly accurate to withihn 5% or so. Obviously they cant talk to every person in the country so they follow some pretty sophisticated policies and they try to balance their canvasing so as to get the most accurate polls, the Polling industry is actually a very lucrative and highly competitive industry and accuracy means life or death for the organization the does the polling. Companies pay BIG$$$$ for accurate polling results.
