President Bush's Approval Rating Improves

FoxNews also reports President Bush's approval rating is recovering

A FOXNews poll, found 42 percent of Americans approve of the job President Bush is doing. That is a 6 percent increase from earlier this month (November 8-9).

Some of the improvement may be due to President Bush’s "Strategy For Victory In Iraq" speech:

Interviews finished before the speech show a 40 percent approval rate, while those done after the speech show 43 percent approval.

These results are supported by Rasmussen Reports presidential approval tracking poll which California Yankee posted about in Optimism Breaks Out.

The Fox poll was conducted November 29-30 and has a margin of error of 3 percent. The full poll results are available here [pdf].

Somehow I don't think these poll results are going to get the same attention the main stream media gave polls showing the president's approval declining.

UPDATE: Rasmussen Reports notes the low point for President Bush's approval ratings was October 28. His numbers stopped falling when Harriet Miers withdrew her name from consideration as a Supreme Court nominee.

I saw on Technorati that we both were quoting Rasmussen about Bush's approval rating going up.

I agree with you that won't be brought to the attention of the public by the MSM.

Something else that I included in my post which will be kept quiet.

Is the Democrats bright hope for 08

November 30, 2005--If Hillary Clinton runs for President in 2008, just 25% of Americans say they would definitely vote for her. That's down five points over the past two weeks. It's also the lowest level of support measured for the former First Lady in 2005. (Review Trends).

Forty percent (40%) would definitely vote against Senator Clinton. That's little changed from two weeks ago. Rasmussen Reports has conducted a Hillary Meter poll every other week since April. Only once has the number who say they would definitely vote against Clinton been higher than it is now.
