GOP Trails in Every Region of the Nation
As the Bubble Boy continues to ignore the views of the American people, or the polls, the prospects for a Democratic majority in Congress look better all the time.
According to the latest poll by the Pew Research Center, the unpopular pResident has reached a new low with an embarrassing 33 percent job approval rating.
But Bad Times Bush does better in other polls. The WSJ/NBC poll is one of the kinder polls to the inarticulate bully of the world. It puts Bubble Boy's job approval score at 37 percent, an all time low for this particular poll.
With such a miserable failure for a pResident, it should surprise no one that the mean and selfish and incompetent party of Republicans trails in every region of the country!
From the Wall Street Journal:
"The new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll charts the toll that Iraq has taken on the Bush presidency. The survey shows the president's approval rating falling to 37%, a low for Mr. Bush, with disapproval highest for his handling of the war. His party's advantage on handling Iraq has narrowed amid public pessimism about the conflict, helping Democrats open a double-digit edge in voter preferences for controlling Congress. . . .
Republicans trail in every region but are most vulnerable in the Northeast; Democrats, hoping to wipe out Republican incumbents in 'blue states' such as Connecticut, have built a thirty-percentage-point edge in voters' preference for control of Congress.
'When Republicans start losing moderates by 33 percentage points, it's a very precarious signal,' Mr. McInturff [Republican pollster] says.
The poll shows how large a role the war plays in fueling discontent with Mr. Bush. Of the 66% of Americans who say they disapprove of Mr. Bush's policies, seven in 10 say that ousting Saddam Hussein from power hasn't been worth its human and financial costs as violence there persists. 'For Americans, it looks more and more like...we can't stop or change it,' Mr. McInturff says. Some 61% of Americans say it's time to reduce U.S. troop levels . . . "
