Bush Strategy Working

Poll: Bush's Approval Ratings Climb

Bush's strategy of sticking up for himself and getting the facts out about a variety of issues seems to be working. His approval rating is back up to 47%. In other poll findings:

Overall, 47 percent of Americans in this ABC News/Washington Post poll now approve of George W. Bush's work in office; 52 percent disapprove. While hardly robust, that is up from a career low 39 percent-60 percent in early November to its best in nearly six months.

Specifically, belief that the United States is making significant progress toward establishing a democratic government in Iraq has jumped dramatically, by 18 points, to 65 percent. A sense of progress in establishing civil order similarly is up, by 16 points, to 60 percent. Each is its best since these questions first were asked in the spring of 2004.

One issue that is still absolutely ridiculous is the economy...which has him at only a 47/52 approve vs disapprove. This is an issue in which the MSM definitely is winning. The economy is great! How can you argue that? How can people not understand how great things are? No clue how this has happened.

Will the increase continue?
