Bush’s popularity polls are a hot topic near elections and when his numbers are low, but where does he stand now? Rather than looking at the results of a single poll, I’ve plotted all the poll results provided by Real Clear Politics, who have been applaudably diligent about compiling the results of all the polls. Here’s the plot:
Two striking features of the plot are immediately apparent. The first is that Bush has dropped off a couple of points from last month’s average of 40%. The second is that the polls, all of which have margins of error of about 3%, have a scatter of 10%. Beware the pollster and his claims of accuracy and relevance.
