    • Telling Poll Numbers

    While we are all likely aware that Bush has a 73% approval rating, here are some other significant numbers from the latest CBS/NYT Poll:

    2. Do you feel things in this country are generally going in the right direction or do you feel things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track?

    56% say right track, 36% wrong track, and 9% don't know
  • On the economy, Bush gets 46-41-13 (approve, disapprove, don't know)
  • On Iraq it is 79-17-4
  • 54% expressed confidence in the President's ability to handle the economy, and 66% are confident in his ability to handle international affairs.
  • 78% approved on the war in Iraq.

    If Bush continues to have high numbers on national security, and majorities or high pluralities on the economy, I don't see a Democrat who can beat him. And the right track/wrong track numbers tend to be quite significant in predicting electoral outcomes, so keep an eye on that one.
