Actually, the US news media has by and large portrayed him favorably; possibly because 90% of the newspapers are now owned by large conglomerate corporations whose primary interest isn't presenting a fair and unbiased representation of the news. Two of the only large independently owned papers aren't nearly as favorable towards him : The New York Times is anti-Bush, while the Washington Post is more unbiased.
Also - it isn't the internet community, or the dominions 2 community. I don't drive, so I ride the buses - an awful lot of non-internet type people are pretty unhappy with Bush. Ditto the military (I'm former military, and up until 2 months ago had been working with the military for the 14 years since I became a civilian).
Near as I can tell, the question is : Who the @#$@ are these polls talking to? Registered members of their local Chambers of Commerce? Members of the "Pioneer Club" (people who've raised 10,000 or more for Bush)? Oilmen? Who?
