Default Still 4 out of 5?!?!

From Yahoo News... the story says how Bush's numbers in the recent poll still remain low. Yet:

[ QUOTE ]
Four of five Republicans say they approve of Bush's job performance, close to the level of support he's had from his base for months.

[/ QUOTE ]

Kind of makes it clear that we're all living in completely different realities. Its so hard to imagine, if someone pays attention to what goes on, who sees it all and says, "Yes. That Bush is doing an excellent job. I approve!"

I can understand this no more then I can understand the person in poker who does what my friend and I have dubbed the "bluff call"... My favorite example... on the river in NLTHE, there's a possible boat and flush on the board, but this donk doesn't believe the other guy has it, so he calls a large river bet with: 9 high. And gives away a large chunk of change. The infamous "bluff call."

One day I hope to understand those "4 out of 5."
