Poll: majority of Americans hate America
A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows approval of republicans is at a record low, as voters closely follow such issues as Iraq, North Korea, Bob Woodward's new book, and the Mark Foley sex scandal.
The Republican party's approval ratings are at an all-time low, with approval of the Republican-led Congress at its lowest point in 14 years. Only 16 percent of respondents approve of the job Congress is doing, the lowest level since 1992.

The poll numbers and Bush's own job approval ratings, which have been mired in the 30 percent range, are an ominous sign for a party trying to maintain control of Congress, NBC said. Bush had a job approval rating of 38 percent, down 1 percentage point from a previous NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released earlier this month.
