I don't see any bouncing
Updated below:
I doubt it has much significance, since this poll has routinely moved up and down by three or four points for the past month or so, but the Rasmussen poll (a Republican polling organization) shows Bush having fallen from 43% approval several days ago to just 40% now.
However, for the past few days I've sort of had the sense things were drifting the wrong direction since there have been no controlling news events. Certainly, the conclusion that the Iraq war is a disaster has now become almost universal, but the Republican meltdown at the time of the Foley scandal seems to have abated, and I had begun to fear that maybe the Republicans had turned the corner and begun to close the gap. In that sense, this result is very comforting to me.
Update:
Another poll, by Opinion Research, is out showing a drop in Bush's favorability ratings from 39 to 37 percent since last week.
