Ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah

On the other hand, every once in a while there is encouraging political news in this country. Last week, when Bush gave the State of the Union addess, I saw one or two talking heads saying it would no doubt give him a bounce in the polls.

This is so usual for Presidents at SotU time that the pundits authoritatively asserted it, as a coming fact. They didn't say it probably would happen, or that it happened for most Presidents, they said it would happen.

Well, guess what. Apparently, not so much. Via AmericaBlog:

The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted Feb. 1-5 among 1,502 Americans, finds that President Bush received no bounce from his Jan. 31 State of the Union address. Bush's approval rating stands at 40% ­ largely unchanged over the past month.


Aaahhh...
