Hilarious!! The lefties are so desperate for a smidgen of good news they will even cite that RW, totally discredited, completely biased pollster, Rasmussen.
I'm on the floor over here!!
Taking Rasmussen out of the picture
5 polls prior to the speech
52.2-43.4 net approval 8.8
4 polls after the speech
54.75-41.5 net approval 13.25
were people not posting gleefully (i can't remember if you posted in those thread but i wouldn't be surprised) when his approval rating went down 1% the other day?
