Allow me to clarify one last time for all of you. It's not the fact that he takes a lot of time off. He does do some work out in Crawford. It's a tough job. I just think that with everything that happened last week in Iraq, He picked a bad time to leave town. It gives the appearance to the everyday Joe that he could give a flying f**k about what is going on during his little war.
As far as poll numbers and the size of the cross section go. It's not just the AP poll that is reflecting the slide. All the polls that i have seen are reflecting a drop in both his overall rating, and his rating on the war in Iraq. If it was one particular poll that came from a group with liberal leanings, i wouldn't have written this article.
