Some numbers that make me happy

Bush's approval rating is up to 38% according to the latest Fox Poll.

Thirty-six percent approve of the job Democrats in Congress are doing and 49 percent disapprove. Republicans rate about the same: 35 percent approve and 53 percent disapprove. The democrats have lost ground and the republicans have gained ground in this area over the last couple of months.

The economy created 138,000 new jobs in April. While this number is lower than expected, it actually may be a good thing. The dow rose 138 points on friday because of speculation that slowing job creation may cause the feds to stop raising interest rates.

The Dow closed at a 6 year high friday, and is about 150 points away from an all time high.

All these positive economic numbers despite skyrocketing gas prices. Amazing.

Unemployment is at 4.8%. Pretty much anyone who wants a job can get a job.

A recent poll found that around the world, Fox is the most trusted name in news. 11 percent of Americans named Fox News - more than any other news source in the U.S. when asked which news source they trusted most.
