Script for msg 120404:

==================

 

“JUST A MINUTE”

NOBODY KNOWS, EVERYBODY’S GUESSING

          Just a Minute: Today I’m sorting through the opinions of the Wall St. Journal, New York Times, and the Washington Post is a nightmare. Nobody knows – everybody’s guessing. So I’m dealing with data but admittedly it’s not ALL the data – and it’s always shifting.

          However here’s the summary of all trend lines from January to thus far in April, for the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows twenty four (24%) of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-three percent (43%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval

Index rating of a negative -19 points. There are LOTS of polls – but I look at two things, the methodology of the pollsters and the longer term trend lines.

         The final numbers aggregated DO NOT take into account the various states and their heft in the electoral college. So this is the context to which I refer for an overall view -- it does not predict a final result or take into account the vagaries of the electoral college.

          Right now I can’t devise a more accurate index. <I’m Jack Buttram.> (END)
