Actually lamont is at 40-41% in CT. Bush is actually doing better than he is. of course if it is fair to distirt polls, a conservative could argue that Lamont is suffering the same numbers with his ‘approval rating remains stuck in the 30s’.

He has no political expertise, either in reporting or opinion - writing. He's the perfect example of the Peter Principle in operation at the NYT - no prior experience in the field in which you'll be writing "expert opinions" on? Hey, no problem.

There is not a poll in the past week that has him below 40. Clearly Rich has been doing a ton of research before he writes his own beliefs as fact. cnn, usa today, rassmussen-all have him at least at 42% or better.

I don't know which two, but I remember seeing at the Corner this morning. In any case, I'm with Mark. Frank Rich is definitely not worth defending on any count. And I'm more than a little tired of hearing about how the White House is "exploiting terrorism for political gain." Yes, and Iraq was all about oil. Wake me up when there are some arguments being made. Fargus, to be fair, I think there are actually two polls out there with Bush’s approval at 42%.

In all seriousness, Rich's point is that we were somehow intimidated by a culture of fear from Karl Rove post-9/11 and we've now broken out from it - well, that's typical Rich baloney. We never lived in a culture of fear - there's a difference between fear and determination, and Rich is either to ignorant (or too consumed by partisan hatred) to know the difference...

The USA Today/Gallup poll came out the day after Rich's article, and the polls Rich cited weren't false. I think you're stretching here, man. To emphasize this one poll over all of the others and say that all of the others are wrong.....well, that's pretty selective. How is that contradictory?
