Polls! I Don't Believe No Stinkin' Polls




Laura Bush doesn't believe bad polls on husband - Yahoo! News:

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - First lady Laura Bush said on Sunday she does not believe opinion polls showing her husband's approval ratings at record low levels.

Interviewed on Fox News Sunday, Laura Bush said she did not think people were losing confidence in President George W. Bush, despite a series of polls showing support for him at its lowest point in his five-year presidency and among the lowest for any president in the past 50 years.

'I don't really believe those polls. I travel around the country. I see people, I see their responses to my husband. I see their response to me,' she said.

'As I travel around the United States, I see a lot of appreciation for him. A lot of people come up to me and say, 'Stay the course'.'

Many recent polls have put Bush's job approval rating below 35 percent. One, the Harris poll, published last Friday, measured his approval at 29 percent, the first time any survey has put his support below the 30 percent mark. Two other polls published last week put his job approval at 31 percent. . ."
