But You Know, Bush Is Going To Lose The Election
His approval rating has hit its lowest point. And…
“For an incumbent to be at 46% job approval at this point in an election year has historically always spelled defeat” for presidents since 1950, says Frank Newport, editor in chief of the Gallup Poll. But he says it’s a small sample; only eight presidents have sought re-election, five successfully.”
And just because I haven’t mentioned a certain state for a while:
“Likely voters also gave Bush an edge in 16 states that were close in 2000. The poll shows Bush leading Kerry, 51%-46%. They were tied at 49% in mid-April. The states are Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin.”
Wait a minute. Washington?
