Stephen Colbert had a hilarious approval-rating polling commentary
last night, which starts at about 3:50 in this clip:

Colbert points to results from Public Policy Polling that polled
Americans as to God's approval rating, which turns out to be around
52%.

When asked if subjects approved of "God's handling of the creation of
the Universe", 71% approved.  Which, for Colbert, "means for 29%, the
infinite and unknowable everything just isn't cutting it".

best, Joe
