From Ruy Teixeira's excellent blog, Donkey Rising, I found this link to a new CBS poll on President Bush and Iraq. The president's approval ratings are more or less in line with other recent public polls. But on his handling of Iraq, 47% now disapprove as opposed to %46 who approve. Only 22% think he "has developed a clear plan for rebuilding Iraq." See the full breakdown of the numbers here.


Bonus Poll Data Analysis: One number from the poll seems worth noting for humor purposes alone. "Do you think George W. Bush has been spending too much of his time on foreign policy problems, or too much of his time on problems here at home, or has he been spending his time about right?" Too much foreign: 44%, About right: 40%, Too much at Home: 1%. (Eventually I recovered from my laughter, got up off the ground, and climbed back into my chair.)


I'd like to identify that 1% so if I encounter them in public I can give them a wide berth.
