Bush's poll woes cont'd

It will likely get lost in the filibuster headlines, but USA Today has some sober news for Republicans in this morning's paper: "President Bush's approval ratings for handling the economy, Iraq and Social Security have fallen to the lowest levels of his White House tenure."

Meanwhile, according to a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup poll taken Friday through Sunday, Bush's job approval ratings dropped six points during the month of May, to 46 percent. That missed by just one point his lowest rating to date for the ongoing USA Today poll.

Additionally, the paper finds, "Satisfaction with congressional Republicans also has sagged. By 47%-36%, those polled say the country would be better off if Democrats controlled Congress. That's the best showing for Democrats since the GOP won control of both houses of Congress in 1994."

1. I've heard lower numbers.

One poll last year and earlier this year, I have heard 42%

2. Nice to See, But Meaningless

He who counts the votes, yadda yadda...

Just watch, somehow the Repubs will pull off a miraculous victory in '06 and the media will say "We just didn't see it coming! All our polls were wrong!"

That is, if the country can make it to the '06 elections without suffering another massive terrorist attack, in which case, Chimpy declares some form of Marshall Law.

3. What difference does it make

They have control and are now going to keep squeezing until there is nothing left.
With nothing or no one to stop them they can do as they please and approval rating amount to nothing.
By 2008 they may very well have changed the Constitution or maybe even declared it invalid.
