Poll Dancing

Have you seen this numbers?! Bush's approval ratings on everything from job performance to his handling of the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq to plain old honesty and sincerity are at all time lows.

Generally dissapprove of his job performance:
CNN/Gallop 8/5: 51%
Newsweek 8/4: 51%
AP/Ipsos 8/3: 55%
CBS 8/2: 46%
Zogby 7/30: 55%

AP Ipsos Poll, 8/1:
Honest? 45%
Arrogant? 56%

CBS Poll 7/29:
Hiding something? 55%

What could possibly be causing this mudslide? Here are some ideas the right wingers might want to examine:

• While the rest of us are working our asses off with 2 weeks of vacation a year, Bush just began a 5 week vacation that even the French would envy. In total, the Presdent has spent almost a year on vacation out of the 5 he has been in office, and that doesn't include holidays. It's appalling. Especially given the sad state of the global affairs.
• He's on vacation to supposedly reconnect with the people. But Cindy Sheehan is standing outside his ranch waiting to talk to him, and he refuses to see her. Her son died in Iraq and she claims that her family visited with him, he acted as if it were a party. Now she wants answers, and she's commanding media attention.
• In the meantime, Cheney, Rice and Rummy are saying that Iraq is going well!
• On the home front, the economy may be improving on a macro level, but people vote with their purse, and all they see is stagnant pay, higher gas prices, a week dollar, a bursting real estate market, and massive government deficits. People feel vulnerable.
