Meaningless Polls Mean DNC To Get Meaner

From Time, we learn:

PRESIDENT BUSH’S APPROVAL RATING UP TO 53%, UP FROM 49% IN DECEMBER

At which point most people will say something like "yabbut the only poll that counts is the one taken last November." True ... doubly true in that Bush has no need to worry about his poll numbers any more, nor is that his style anyway.

However, the real significance of the polls is not in how Bush reacts, but in how his opponents do.

And the polls highlight the inability of the Left to take Bush’s numbers down below re-election levels, in spite of the most concerted media attack(s) we have ever seen.

As a measure of effectiveness, that has to be rattlin’ a few cages in the DNC, and will ratchet up the Dem Civil War between their Normals and their Loonies by yet another notch.

Other than that, sure, such opinion polls do indeed count for nothing … but it’s an important “other than that.”
