<\/a>How will the poor Fox “News” Bush dead-enders cover for their man now that their own poll<\/a> is out showing Bush at all-time lows with just a 33% approval rating. That number includes a full 20% drop in Republican<\/i> support from one year ago!<\/p>\n

Just over a month ago, when CBS released their poll<\/a> pegging Bush Approval at 34% the Fox Wingnuts bent over backwards to dismiss the poll as untrustworthy:<\/p>\n

“This is not representative of the — of the population of the country in any way, shape, manner, or form. Nor is the fact that Bush has 34 percent. … You just know that’s not possible. It simply isn’t possible,” Rush Limbaugh said on February 28th, when the poll was released.<\/p>\n

Brit Hume on Special Report<\/i> said, “[T]here’s good reason to be skeptical of this CBS poll. It’s wildly oversampled Democrats.”<\/p>\n

Sean Hannity spun with, “The first thing we find out that nearly two to one they polled Democrats.”<\/p>\n

And John Gibson joined the dead-enders-in-denial with, “Of course, it’s weighted with more Democrats, so you’ve got to take that into account.”<\/p>\n

The CBS poll put Cheney’s approval rating at 18% at the time, by the way. The Fox “News” poll, though it asks about the approval ratings of Condi Rice and Don Rumsfield, seems to have failed to poll on Cheney’s approval rating for some odd reason. Go figure.<\/p>\n
