Along with Mike’s theme that the tide is turning, Bush’s job approval has reached 50% for the first time since July in the Rasmussen poll. This is most likely in response to:
- The continued success in Iraq finally being made known to the public through the elections, the Bush Speech, and the Press Conference.
- The fact that most Americans like the fact that the NSA is spying on evil terrorists and working to prevent another 9/11.
- People finally figured out that the economy is doing incredibly well
- The Democrats are looking really soft on Terror, with the NSA story and the Patriot Act.
This is a nice way to end the year in politics and move into the Christmas holiday
Merry Christmas everyone!

I have been keeping a close eye on Rasmussen because his sampling and methods are relatively consistent. I did spend some time ignoring the numbers themselves, and focusing just on trends, but with Bush at 50% it seems that we’re back to normal ordinary time. Sigh.
