New Poll- Rumsfield Should Go, Economy is Fine!
There is a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll out.
Let me just hit the high spots and high numbers:
Fifty-two percent of respondents to a new poll think Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld should resign.
The secretary's approval rating has fallen from 71 percent in April 2003 at the height of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq to 41 percent in the new survey.
49 percent of respondents said they approved of the job the president is doing. That number is down from his November approval rating of 55 percent. Bush is the first incumbent president to have an approval rating below 50 percent one month after winning re-election.
A large majority -- 77 percent -- of poll respondents indicated they thought the overall presidential election was fair.
Forty-one percent polled said the Iraqi elections would not lead to a stable government, and 40 percent said even if a stable government were voted in, U.S. troops would have to stay.
Americans polled were much more optimistic about the future of the economy in the United States. Asked how well the economy will be doing in December 2005, 60 percent of respondents said well.
On another of Bush's hot-button issues, Social Security, the respondents were divided (48-48) on whether workers should be allowed to set aside some of their earnings in private stock or bond accounts.
So, it seems that it is still possible to fool 100% of the people some of the time and up to an amazing 60% of the people all of the time.

I wonder if the number of people who thought the election was fair would be lower if the media would follow the story of what is happening in Ohio. The stories coming out of there are frightening.
One example is in Warren county (which used paper ballots) election officials locked down the courthouse while they counted ballots. No observers were allowed due to an alleged homeland security threat warning of 10 out of 10. Three things about this are suspicious. There was no security threat. Barring observers is illegal. The republican officials counted the ballots and the total number of votes is significantly lower than statistically expected.
I don't even know what the result was for that country. I don't think it is important. The process was compromised and that is what is important.
Another frightening thing is the lack of coverage this story is receiving.

Hi Kirkrrt,
And yet many of the people out there still think the Iraqi elections won't be tampered with to give President Rove and his glove puppet Bush the result they want lol
