Approval ratings and 2nd terms

[_Schadenfreude_]

Apparently one needs an approval rating of 52% or better to win a second term as President - or at least that has been the case since 1948.

Anyone need a hanky?

Saw that on CNN yesterday, the only ones that had a rating above 50% for a 2nd ammendment were Nixon, Reagan...and surprise Clinton.

Where's GWB at? 42% ? Just like Dad is it?

[_Schadenfreude_]

Yep - some of the boys might need to buy in a couple of cartons of those manly strength kleenex thingies.

It ain't over, till it's over.

[_Schadenfreude_]

Very true - either side may need the extra strong man sized kleenex...

The thing is, Bush didn't even need the popular vote to be pres... so all bets are off on historical data.

It will take just 1 terror attack on US soil to turn that 42% frown upside down. Toby Kieth will be able to profit from more death, and we will get more dates to nevar forget.
