Dan: American Research Group is a polling outfit that’s been around for about 23 years. Its surveys appear regularly in the mainstream press and at such reputable Web sites as pollster.com. I notice that ARG’s polls sometimes are labeled “outliers” — which means their numbers are at odds with those of two or more other pollsters. America’s Research Group, a different company altogether, is a market research firm. One of its principals, Britt Beemer, is coincidentally a casual acquaintance of mine from way, way back. Getting back to ARG’s poll on Bush, I’m a little skeptical, upon reflection, that W’s numbers are really hat low. I’ll believe it when I see some other poll with similarly low scores. Suffice it to say, however, that Bush is a pretty unpopular president. ALL the polls confirm that, even the surveys commissioned by W’s pals at Fox News.

Pat- Please research the American Research Group. They should not be confused with America’s Research Group. The validity of their polls may be biased or inaccurate.

This means he’s earned himself a place not only in history but also most bar trivia contests as the President with both the highest AND lowest approval ratings. 90% and 19%.
Way to Go, Georgie!!!
