The key metric of course will be to see where the increase comes from. If independents move more towards approval, I think that will be a good sign for the President that it's his policies that are driving the uptick. If it comes primarily from Republicans, however, I would say that is most likely due to their happiness with the liberal-bashing.<BR/><BR/>Of course numbers are always open to interpretation, which is one reason I spit on them.

You're right about the bounce! But, the president will get the bounce because (1) he's right on Iraq and the public who care know it, and (2) people will be fed up with the Congress' senseless negativity and indecision. The new Congress has yet to act on anything in a constructive manner, except to add enormous amounts of (now) well-publicized pork to bills they can't seem to agree on anyhow. This group, to take the cynical view, is nothing if not completely detached from reality. Given what they've accomplished, I guess we should be thankful that's all they are.Acroamatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937773105656986392noreply@blogger.com
