What are Sarko's approval ratings looking like these days, by the way?

Trending up for the past couple of months: 44% approval rating vs. 43% last month.

Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.

Trending up, but that still seems a little weak looking at a second-round vote, and it's only a point different from last month, so that doesn't really tell us anything.

He went in freefall last winter when he had his whirlwind romance with Bruni, and a bump this summer with his whirlwind of diplomatic activity (with the war in Georgia, notably).

This is an average of 9 polls, from here

it's worth noting that Sarkozy has basically no opposition right now.  If/when the PS gets behind one person we will see just how popular Sarkozy really is.

That very thing just happened here. The government has been very unpopular since it was elected and the opposition has hade great numbers, and kept very quiet.

As soon as they started talking politics they lost huge numbers and the popularity of the government surged.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
