WTF Is It Now?!?

Can't get no satisfaction
Erstwhile Bush backers may abandon republicans -

An Associated Press-Ipsos poll conducted this week found the president's approval rating has dropped to 33 percent, matching his low in May. His handling of nearly every issue, from Iraq to foreign policy contributed to the president's decline around the nation, even in the Republican-friendly South.

More sobering for the GOP are the number of voters who backed Bush in 2004 who are ready to vote Democratic in the fall's congressional elections. Fewer than 100 days before the Nov. 7 election, the AP-Ipsos poll suggested the midterms are clearly turning into a national referendum on Bush.

In a new Zogby poll conducted Aug. 9-10, 2006, an "overwhelming majority of likely-voting Democrats nationwide said they are glad Joe Lieberman was walloped by anti-war challenger Ned Lamont in the primary on Tuesday."

Dems nationwide think their party is stronger for Lamont’s victory, and want their candidates to tout anti-war credentials.

The Connecticut election highlights what Democrats across the country said they want to hear from their candidates – a resolute opposition to the war in Iraq. More than three-quarters of Democrats (78%) said they want candidates who opposes the conflict.

And in a CNN poll, two-thirds of Americans hate freedom.
