Graphic Negativity


EXTRA EXTRA!! Zogby poll has Bush approval at 32% and UW Madison political science professor Charles Franklin posts a pretty little graph showing the “perilous rate of decline for the White House”. The professor does not project the exact date when the trend line will pass below zero but anyone with a ruler and pencil can demonstrate that the President’s approval rating will become infinitely negative prior to the 2008 elections. This can only be interpreted as meaning that GWB’s chance of re-election is zero.

Rumors that Harry Truman is attempting to channel the message, “ignore the polls” to W via an Eleanor Roosevelt dream visit to Hillary Clinton are unverifiable.
