old polls

polls 3 weeks ago are worth recalling.

not only did one poll have bush's approval down to 33%, but a majority (56%) said he was "out of touch." at his worst, reagan only got 47% out of touch.

one-word descriptions of bush turned negative 2 years ago. currently, negative words lead positive ones 48%-28%, which is the biggest negative plurality so far.

the word used most often was "incompetent." it consistently used to be "honest," which has slipped to 6th place, behind "good," "idiot," "liar," and "christian."
