LMAO @ Miller's approvals.
He's just a senate candidate and he is in >60% range.
Wow. And people are taking this poll seriously?
Which is exactly why I was laughing.
Unfavorables, not disapprovals.
"Disapprovals" is used exclusively when someone is in office,right? Man I need to practice my english more...
"Approval" = I approve of the job so-and-so is doing in office (and it doesn't really have any meaning for someone not in office)
"Favorable" = I have a favorable impression of so-and-so
They usually track pretty closely, but they don't have to. For example, in the later years of the Clinton administration, people thought he did a good job as prez, but that he was scum in his personal life. So his job approval #s were markedly higher than his favorability.
Of course, about 80% of the forum seems oblivious to the distinction (regardless of what their native language is), and this is a political board! I just brought it up because I'm nitpicky.
