GOP and Bush Hit New Lows on Approval Ratings
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush's approval ratings hit a series of new lows in an AP-Ipsos poll that also shows Republicans surrendering their advantage on national security -- grim election-year news for a party struggling to stay in power.

Democratic leaders predicted they will seize control of one or both chambers of Congress in November. Republicans said they feared the worst unless the political landscape quickly changes.

The article said the public trust Dems on handling of the Iraq War. Change!

3. Here's a yummy part of the article
"By a 49-33 margin, the public favors Democrats over Republicans when asked which party should control Congress."


Impeachment time!

6. What amazes me the most about all these polls...
and the pundits' comments while reporting on them, are all the comments they make about how Bush is hurting most in how people don't perceive him as trustworthy any longer. Most people said the thing they considered best about him was his honesty and trustworthiness. Have I been living on a different planet from the rest of the country since 2001? Right from day one this guy has oozed smarminess, incompetence, arrogance, and the last word I would use to describe him would be trustworthy!! The fact that so many years of blatant incompetence and so many scandals later, that even a small segment of the population would still "trust" this guy, nevermind 40% of the nation, is simply astounding!!! I mean how many lies do you need to be caught in before you finally lose someone's trust?! Does he actually have to stomp on a kitten or something on national tv to get thru to these people??!!
