I think we can all agree that Bush's ratings are still pretty bad.

But, what I find myself wondering about is this. What has Bush done in the last week to get 7% of Americans who had previously said they disapproved of him to now approve?

Considering that nothing has really changed in a week, that seems like a big swing.

Sorta makes me think that the real margin of error is a lot higher than would be indicated by the "on paper" margin of error for the polling methodology used.
