new polls out

By David Lieberman, USA TODAY
NEW YORK — Time Warner (TWX) CEO Dick Parsons patted himself on the back Wednesday for the company's strong fourth-quarter financial results. He also tried to prepare investors and employees for billionaire Carl Icahn's assault next week on the entertainment giant's management and strategy.
Time Warner reported that net income rose 21% from the same quarter in 2004, to $1.4 billion, on revenue of $11.9 billion, up 7%.
That was 29 cents a share including some one-time gains such as asset sales and tax breaks and 25 cents without them. The results easily beat the 22 cents forecast by analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial. Shares closed up 3.9% at $18.22.

The desire for change in the country is intense—60% think America is on the wrong track. In 1994 only 55% of the country felt that way.1
President Bush is very unpopular. Only 39% approve of him in one poll—that is lower than anyone, except Nixon, during this point in their presidency.2
The news isn't better for Congress. Only 24% want Congress to continue in this direction—63% want a significantly different direction.3
The Republican-controlled Congress' approval ratings are at 29%—the lowest level since 1994 when Republicans swept into power.4
The wheels are coming off the right-wing machine. Tom DeLay is under indictment. Republican are having trouble finding good candidates. Business groups and religious conservatives are splitting. Even Karl Rove is under scrutiny.
On the issues, from Social Security to Iraq to drilling the Arctic, the public is rejecting the Bush agenda.
Americans say they trust Democrats over Republicans by 51% to 37%—the first time since 1992 that number has topped 50%.5
There are 3.3 million MoveOn members—together, we're bigger and stronger than ever.

Anna1, once again you win Idiot of the day.

Well with the continual left wing media spouting their rhetoric, what do you expect the polls to be.

But, I guess we will see in the next election, wont we? Oh yeah, and Bush isnt in the presidency for a popularity poll.
