Interesting Pew Poll

I'm not a big fan of polling because methodology makes it all so uncertain, but every once in awhile, one catches my eye because the results are not what I would expect. Pew poll.

Party best able to handle Iraq: Dems 50, Repubs 31.
Foreign Policy: Dems 46, Repubs 16.

Okay, then I don't get this one, Terrorism: Dems 34, Repubs 52.

The dems can handle Iraq and foreign policy overwhelmingly, which are the main sources for terrorism, but not terrorism itself? Wouldn't it greatly resolve terrorism to fix its causes?

Bush approval: 38, 54

  • That really is a bizzare set of numbers.

    Bush at 38% - what happened to his bump from all his speaches.

    Check out the Reuters article on Bush's townhall today.

    My favorite part is:

    Asked by a 7-year-old in the audience at the Louisville Convention Center how people could help in the war on terrorism, Bush replied, "One way people can help as we're coming down the pike in the 2006 elections is remember the effect that rhetoric can have on our troops in harm's way and the effect that rhetoric can have in emboldening or weakening an enemy."

  • My 7 year old says rhetoric and emboldening all the time.

  • I saw over on holden that McClellan said the thing wasn't scripted and the questions weren't screened, but, come on, a seven year old asking about the war on terror?

    I call bull.
