What a Glorious Morning it is! New Polling fro AP-Ipsos

This week's survey of 1,000 adults, including 865 registered voters, found:




- Just 33 percent of the public approves of Bush's job performance, the lowest of his presidency. That compares with 36 percent approval in early April. Forty-five percent of self-described conservatives now disapprove of the president.

- Just one-fourth of the public approves of the job Congress is doing, a new low in AP-Ipsos polling and down 5 percentage points since last month. A whopping 65 percent of conservatives disapprove of Congress.

- A majority of Americans say they want Democrats rather than Republicans to control Congress (51 percent to 34 percent). That's the largest gap recorded by AP-Ipsos since Bush took office. Even 31 percent of conservatives want Republicans out of power.

- The souring of the nation's mood has accelerated the past three months, with the percentage of people describing the nation on the wrong track rising 12 points to a new high of 73 percent. Six of 10 conservatives say America is headed in the wrong direction.




Republican strategists said the party stands to lose control of Congress unless the environment changes unexpectedly.

"It's going to take some events of significance to turn this around," GOP pollster Whit Ayres said. "I don't think at this point you can talk your way back from those sorts of ratings."

For the republicans who have woken up to the bush* con.

right now. Did you look at the people in GOP who did not vote with the GOP on the lobby bill? Many who are really worried about their Northeast House seats. Good sign I would say.

That is the true percentage of people who actually like the asshole and the destruction of this nation.

got something in his eye, perhaps some cigar smoke, perhaps some painkillers....

Just drawing up some concept-plans for Bush, to help him when he starts rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenberg.

After I've had my happy moment, I can ponder what the next MIHOP might be. Or not.

The Hindenburg is sinking!! :evilgrin:

...but how glorious can any morning be so long as ol' Backwash is still clinging to power? These poll numbers are just further confirmation that our country is in the midst of something truly, truly awful with no way to predict how it will end. How much more damage will be done in the next several months, or even the next 3 years if Backwash somehow manages to avoid being brought to justice (an all too real possibility and maybe even likelihood).

It may feel like vindication to hear that 73% of our countrymen finally realize this country is heading in the wrong direction, but meanwhile...our country is heading in the wrong direction.
