New polls look good for Bush

Well the polls seem to be turning in bush's favor, actually by quite a bit. It's surprising to me that they're turning around so fast. Of course the liberals will dismiss these results, but thats ok. This, if nothing else gives clear evidence of how well the liberals and the liberal media can unfairly sway public opinion. You can see this just by the fact that these polls have generally changed back so quickly. Anyways, heres the numbers from the most recent Fox Poll.
-Perhaps the biggest is bush's approval rating, back up to 42%, after hitting its low in the mid 30's. 48% still disapprove of bush's job rating.
-46% think the President gave Americans the best prewar intelligence available, while 44% think he intentionally misled the public.
-By 47% to 41%, the public believes there should be a publicly announced timetable for iraq.
-55% want US troops to stay and finish the job in iraq.
-This is a very interesting one: 42% believe that iraq had weapons prewar and moved or destroyed them, 19% believe iraq still has them, and only 28% believe iraq never had them. This is really very interesting, because the liberal media all seems to think that everyone believes that iraq never had them. But, a whopping 61% believe that iraq did/does have them.....interesting indeed.
-Another very interesting one: 52% believe that the world would be worse off if the US stayed out of iraq, while 59% believe iraq would be worse off had we stayed out.
-44% believe that the presence of US troops encourages terrorist attacks. This seems pretty obvious to me the way the question is asked. Seems like a pretty dumb question, I'm surprised that number isnt higher. A better question would be something like: "would there be more/worse terrorist attacks with US troops there or without."

All in all, these are generally very good numbers for Bush and the republicans, and well all of America for that matter. As long as Bush keeps up what he's been doing, I only expect these numbers to continue to turn in his favor....especially with the elections coming up in a couple of weeks in iraq.

I agree that Bush's numbers will further improve. In a way they have been kept artificially low by the smoke and mirrors argument that the left has been pounding since the wonderful Cindy Sheehan entered our lives in August. Also, coming from Boston, I officially apologize for John Kerry. I was so embarrassed for him the other day. He was giving a speech ouside some buliding in a garden or something and he made no sense at all when talking about in what ways he disagrees with what the President has been saying. During Kerry's muddled speech an Afican American aide or security guard, who was standing behind Kerry in the shot, could not disguise the confused look on his face during some of the more non-sensical passages that Kerry was saying. I actually felt a little sorry for Kerry but at least he has the courage to speak publicly on the matter at all unlike say... Hilary Clinton who is in hiding I guess, planning on adopting whatever the most politically expendient stance on Iraq is.
