As you can see by this AP photo, Preznint Bush is so freaked out by his new poll numbers that now he never goes anywhere without his mother hovering right over his shoulder. From the AP:
Just 36 percent of the public approves of Bush's job performance, his lowest-ever rating in AP-Ipsos polling. By contrast, the president's job approval rating was 47 percent among likely voters just before Election Day 2004 and a whopping 64 percent among registered voters in October 2002.Weird, cos it seems to me this is the fifth or sixth time he's fallen to 36%. Anyway...
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.(Emphasis mine) And there will be much rejoicing throughout the kingdom. Eventually his approval percentages will get so small that Grover Norquist could drown him in the bathtub. Here's hoping.
There is more at stake than the careers of GOP lawmakers. A Democratic-led Congress could bury the last vestiges of Bush's legislative agenda and subject the administration to high-profile investigations of the Iraq war, the
CIA leak case, warrantless eavesdropping and other matters.
