It depends on what the definition of "recent" is

Russert, asking Ken the Repubdroid on Press the Meat yesterday about Bush's "honest and trustworthy" poll ratings:

MR. RUSSERT: Now, Mr. Mehlman, let me show you a poll that we took with The Wall Street Journal. "Is the president, President Bush, honest and straightforward?"

Now, 41 % YES, 45 NO. Six months ago, it was 50 % YES, 36 % NO. That is the lowest number the president has gotten on the issue of honest and straightforward. Is this issue, is this crisis, affecting his ability to be considered trustworthy, honest and straightforward by the American people?

MR. MEHLMAN: Tim, I don't think it is at all. There was a Gallup poll that was recently released showing 56 percent think he is honest and trustworthy.


Earth to Kenny-boy: The poll you cite was a CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll taken Jan. 14-16, 2005.

Now yes, in the context of the entire span of known time, that's recent -- even to creationists. However, in politics-land, it's ancient history.
