A few more Ticket tidbits from Tuesday's Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll:

-- 84 out of your 100 closest friends think the country is on the wrong track. Ten of them think the country's going along just fine. And six of them have been watching TVLand the last several months and don't have a clue.

-- Everybody thinks President George W. Bush is doing a good job except 72 of those same 100 friends; 23 of them like his performance, and there are still five friends watching cable.
