The latest WSJ poll has congress' approval rating at a stellar 13%. The democrats have a majority in both the House and the Senate PWN3D
The reason congress' approval is so low is because of the fact that they have not been able to stop the criminal president. Right thinking Americans do not want another 4 years of bush/McCain.
Especially when you consider that Dems have controlled Congress less than 2 years. The Republicans had both chambers of congress for 6 years (along with the presidency) which is why the country is in a royal mess right now. Bush may end up being the most radioactive president in my lifetime, surpassing Nixon.
don't mind donkeymagic, he thinks people are overreacting to the financial hickup that only requires $700BB
i wouldn't put much stock in ARG's numbers. They are not in line with anything else, and 19% would put Bush at the all time historic low - below Nixon, that would get wide coverage. http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm
i actually liked bush when he first started running for president. but obviously, even i can run the country better than him.
you are mistaken. i don't think it requires that at all, actually But if you want to put stock in people who are at home during the day, have the time to waste to take a phone survey and who actually answer calls from unknown numbers...then i have an adjustable rate mortgage for you
LOL - I assume this means the Republicans will SWOOP BACK INTO CONTROL of both houses with an 87% majority then right?
