Today's Political Rant

According to the USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll, 51% of all Americans believe the Bush administration deliberately misled the public about whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

Now, I don't believe any poll on its own proves much, and there are others that place that number a bit lower than 51%. But as more and more of Bush's negative ratings hit that magic number of half-the-nation-plus-one, I wonder about something. It's how many Bush supporters who thought 51% in the last election was a mandate or even a landslide will now argue that 51% or even anything below 55% or so isn't really a majority.
