Political bits II

(Newsweek) Bush is down to a mindblowing 26% approval rating. (Still have to cast this as an outlier, but still.... 26%. Down to 60% approval among Republicans.)

(WaPo-In the Loop) Mike Huckabee outlines how women should dress. A burqa's too far, but a miniskirt calls attention "to private parts of their body." "Hair, arms, shoulders, legs are an appropriate display of who they are." (How disturbing is that?)

(ThinkProgress) The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to subpoena the legal opinions within the White House used to allow the NSA warrantless wiretapping program(s). Of note, the vote was 13-3.

  • 26%/65% in Newsweek
    29%/66% in WSJ/NBC News
    28%//65% in Quinnipiac
    29%/61% in Pew

    True, Gallup, Fox, Ap-Ipsos and LA Times/Bloomberg have Bush between 32%-34% approval, but Newsweek's poll isn't that much of an outlier.

  • Really good point.

    I had expected a slip after immigration, but I'm just finding that 20's number so unbelievable, so I'm probably over expressing caution as I'm prone to do.

    (And it's not like that numbers is going to seriously turn around in the next 18 months.)
