Rudy To America: Everything’s Just Dandy — Quit Yer Bitchin’

Now that Rudy’s "9/11, 24/7" approach is getting stale, he’s rolling out a fresh new campaign strategy: lock up voters who love the historically-unpopular Bush by talking about how great the war in Iraq is and telling 70% of the country they’re a bunch of idiots.

"There are some people who believe that this country is declining,” he went on. “There are some people who believe that we’re going in the wrong direction. Well, you know something? They’re wrong!"

Damn straight! You tell ‘em, Rudy. These ingrates need some tough love.

Though I don’t think "some" means what you think it means.

NBC/WSJ 12/17
"All in all, do you think things in the nation are generally headed in the right direction, or do you feel that things are off on the wrong track?"

Right direction: 22%
Wrong track: 63%

Gallup 12/9
"In general, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the way things are going in the United States at this time?"

Satisfied: 27%
Disatisfied: 70%

AP/Ipsos 12/5
"Generally speaking, would you say things in this country are heading in the right direction, or are they off on the wrong track?"

Right direction: 30%
Wrong track: 66%

In other campaign news, I hear from key insiders that Rudy will unveil his new economic plan, "Longer Work Hours and No Vacations for Anyone," within the week.
