>   Bush Gets Lowest-Ever Approval Rating: Poll 
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0925-04.htm 
 {|*: it has:
"... poll by NBC News/Wall Street Journal, his lowest-ever approval rating. 
The poll, in which the US president won 49 percent approval ...
   The survey questioned 1,007 adults from Saturday through Monday, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points." 
· The true number is between 52% and 46%; likely but not certainly 49%.}

· I have been watching those numbers ever since that travesty of GW Bush's "election".

· In my LessIsMore post ("Re: population, European and otherwise": 31 Mar 2003 07:14:27 +1200): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LessIsMore/message/8428
 (which is still there today, Friday morning), I say:

"-=# as of some weeks ago when polls showed 50% and now 70% of Americans supporting the current Bush administration's action in militarily attacking Iraq, I _now_ do consider that Americans are doing wrong.#=-
   I certainly understand that a minority dissent; but as a generalisation, with the faults all generalisations have, "Americans say this" "Americans are doing that" now includes the Administration's actions, IMO.
   To continue until reliable polls (e.g. Harris, Gallup) show that:
_less_ than 45% support the Administration."
