There has been copious hi-def chatter from political talking point puppets since Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was named Senator John McCain's Vice Presidential running mate.
One common refrain the McCain camp is singing is to point out that Palin is an executive leader of an American state that has an 80% approval rating from Alaskans.
Political opinion polls are taken as a snapshot of a given moment that the poll was taken and within the context the polls question(s) was framed.
With this in mind, I can't help but think of another politician that boasted high approval ratings.
President George Herbert Walker Bush enjoyed an approval rating of 91% in March of 1991.
Nineteen months later, the voters elected William Jefferson Clinton as the 42nd President of the United States of America.
There will be an approval rating poll taken very soon that will matter a great deal.
It will occur November 4th.
