Bush's Poll #'s & Brownwood Media Push: All Hat, No Cattle !

If your listening to Brownwood Talk Radio (KXYL) your only hearing the poll that reflects positively on the President's #'s ! You've got to love it when the callers and talking heads dismiss the poll #'s when they do not favor their party, but immediately & continously, run the poll #'s (coming from the "Liberal Media" that they bash on a daily basis!) when they benefit their party or their guy ! We have a saying here in Texas for such acts: "All Hat, No Cattle" !

Polls conflict on Bush's approval

The Washington Post-ABC News Poll said Bush's "approval rating has surged in recent weeks, reversing what had been an extended period of decline," while the CNN/USA Today Gallup poll said "Bush's approval ratings do not appear to have changed significantly."
In the Post-ABC poll, Bush's overall approval rating rose to 47 percent, from 39 percent in early November, with 52 percent saying they disapprove of how he is handling his job. His approval rating on Iraq jumped 10 percentage points since early November, to 46 percent.
By contrast, the CNN/USA Today Gallup poll found his approval rating stood at 41 percent, while more than half (56 percent), disapprove of how the president is handling his job. A majority -- 52 percent -- say it was a mistake to send troops to Iraq, and 61 percent say they disapprove of how he is handling Iraq specifically.
The margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points, while the Post-ABC poll's margin was 4.5 points.
