Explain, Please

Okay, I know AOL polls are unscientific and most aol users are kind of...ummm, well, let's just say the best and the brightest are probably using some other domain. (Full disclosure: I'm on AOL.) But here's a poll that's ongoing tonight during Bush's press conference. Over 45,000 respondents so far.

59% rate Bush's overall performance as "poor." Only 18% rate "excellent."

75% oppose Bush's social security plan.

74% oppose Bush's energy plan; 40% say they don't understand it.

71% oppose Bush's handling of Iraq.

75% oppose his handling of the economy.

And this President is supposed to have a "mandate" of some kind? This President who squeaked by with 51% of the popular vote after widespread voting irregularities in Ohio and Florida?

I've had some man-dates myself. Doesn't matter at all. ;)

Come on, you can prove anything with statistics. They're infinitely adaptable ...
