WTF Is It Now?!?

Poll: majority of Americans hate America
Like Foley on a teenage boy, support for GOP going down.

The latest batch of polls have some mighty stinky numbers for the Asshat-in-Chief and his do-nothing, scandal-ridden enablers.

The new one from The NY Times/CBS News:

Bush’s job approval has slipped to 34 percent, one of the lowest levels of his presidency. Mr. Bush’s job approval rating has even slipped with his base: 75 percent of conservative Republicans approve of the way he has handled his job, compared with 96 percent in November 2004.

Mr. Bush clearly faces constraints as he seeks to address the public concerns about Iraq that have shrouded this midterm election: 83 percent of respondents thought that Mr. Bush was either hiding something or mostly lying when he discussed how the war in Iraq was going.

83 percent think the president of the United States is hiding something or mostly lying. 83 percent!

The latest Washington Post/ABC News poll has more good news for Dems:

Congressional approval has plunged to 32 percent, its lowest level in more than a decade.

It's got Democrats leading on health care, ethics, the economy, Iraq, immigration - even on terrorism.

And a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll shows that Democrats hold a 23-point lead over republican candidates.

That's double the lead Republicans had a month before they seized control of Congress in 1994. President Bush's approval rating was 37%, down from 44% in a Sept. 15-17 poll. The approval rating for Congress was 24%, down 5 points from last month.

The Times/CBS News poll also shows that 79 percent of Americans say that 'Republican Congressional leaders put their political interests ahead of protecting the safety of teenage pages.' Also...

By overwhelming numbers, including majorities of Republicans, Americans said that most members of Congress did not follow the same rules of behavior as average Americans, and that most members of Congress considered themselves above the law.
