New Job Approval Polls:
Fox gained 3 points (43%), ABC dropped one points (45%),
PEW returns after three months (46%), and NBC dropped 2
points (43%) in the new poll(s) for this week.
Favorability Polls:
Gallup is down 3 points (29%), ABC is back with a giant
jump to 30%, Fox is back with a big jump (7 points) (30%),
NBC has a slight jump (27%) and CBS is back with a big
jump (4 points) (24%), CNN (the other returning poll) is
up (4 points) (28%), Zogby is back with the same poll (25%)
and PEW is back with a small jump (2 points) (24%) in the
new poll(s) this week.
Analysis:
Any president has a raise in their polls at the end of
their term. This has happened with people from Nixon
to Clinton and it appears to be happening with Bush.
We seriously doubt that he will jump to the goal he set
last summer of 45% by the end of his term. We doubt he
will hit 30%.
