It says + or minues 3%, is that 3% of the total 100%, or 3% of 44%?

It could be 41%, it could be 44%, it could be 47% or anywhere in between. Polls are not exact so there is a margin of error, in this case its a 3% margin.

Its 3% of 100%. 95% of the time his approval will fall between two standard deviations (3% in this case) of the mean of 44%

The Gallup./UsaToday poll released today said 44% with +-4. The news was saying "boost for Bush" but the last Gallup/UsaToday poll was 41% +-4. So for all intents and purposes the boost......wasn't.

It could be as high as 47, or as low as 41.
That's the margin of error in the sample.

It depends on which Republican you ask....and it ought to be 3% of the 44%, but then again, depending who's twisting and tweaking the numbers, heh!

Actually ever since he put Rove back on active status for the November elections, he has gone from 31% to 41%... it might be 44 by now but I haven't seen that yet.
Rove is doing exactly what he did before... using lies, dividing and conquering. He divides the masses into groups appealing to each one of their most hated prejudices to motivate them to vote for Bush.
He started with illegal immigration... went to gay marriage... went to flag burning... turned the war on terror to the war on Islamic fascist to motivate the religious base.... and it has been predicted that he will stick on that one until the election.

1003 people does not a clear indicator of a nationwide poll make.
I've only been polled once in my life.
Remember that 3000 person sex poll in 1994.Said everyone's a prude.That turned out to not be right either!
I'm with BeachBum.

it went up because all of a sudden less conservatives were willing to oppose him. it's too bad. but it's alright i guess, because after all, the democrats are taking congress in 2 months whether you like it or not.
