On Mon, 19 Sep 2005, Doug Henwood posted CNN's reprise of Gallup:
> Just 41 percent of the 818 adults polled between Friday and Monday said
> they approved of Bush's handling of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina,
> while 57 percent disapproved.
This lends support to the idea that the 50/50 support he was getting when his performance was unbelievably abysmal was simply an artifact of time lag -- that it took non-newshounds weeks to digest and realize just how badly he'd done. He's now lost 20% of his support since then, when he's arguably been doing everything as well as it could be done spin wise and the worst is over.
