Bush Job Approval Numbers

Regular WMD reader VikingSpirit:
RCP has new Bush job approval numbers. Rasmussen has it at 50%, while ABC News/Washington Post has it at 48%. I've got one thing to say on this-Bush's job approval rating is going to hover around 50% until gas prices go down. As long as gas prices are high, Bush's job approval rating isn't going anywhere.
Well, get ready my friend...

The Strategic Oil Reserves are nearly full for the first time since its creation which will free up about 75,000 barrels a day for consumer consumption.

There is some skepticism about how much of an effect this will really have, but I think we're going to see some sort of price drop...how significant remains to be seen...
