NBC/WSJ poll: Majority now prefer a Democrat-controlled Congress

President Bush is once again facing the lowest job approval rating of his presidency, the lowest percentage of Americans who believe the country is headed in the right direction, and an electorate that greatly prefers a Democratic-controlled Congress over a Republican-controlled one.

According to the poll, only 37 percent approve of Bush’s job performance — his lowest mark ever in the survey. That’s a two-point drop since the last NBC/Journal poll, and a one-point decline from his previous low of 38 percent last November. In addition, just 26 percent believe the nation is headed in the right direction, a tie from the previous Bush administration low, which also occurred in November.

Looking ahead to the midterm elections in November, the poll shows that 50 percent prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress versus 37 percent who want it controlled by Republicans. McInturff says it’s a “problematic environment” for the Republicans. “You are working harder as a Republican because you are pushing uphill.”

gas prices won't be going down anytime soon, will probably go up in the summer travel season and on Iraq he is so inflexible. He has nothing new--the country is finally catching on.

sent us all into a permanent tailspin...

i won't even go near the whole war, corporatism, conservative judge around every corner thingy.

That's nothing new for Democrats. We've been cleaning up republican messes since FDR.

I too wonder if the Bush cabal has fugged things up beyond repair. It seems the corporate class has achieved a level of power in the government that will be difficult to regain. Plus they own the "liberal media."

Insist on machines that provide a paper trail.

They've stolen two elections - they will do it again if they can.
