The GOP and their leader, King George are breaking their own records by pulling in new miserable lows in what we should start calling "job disapproval ratings."
Read it and weep, trolls.
"These numbers are scary. We've lost every advantage we've ever had," GOP pollster Tony Fabrizio said.
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.
Only 40 percent of the public approves of Bush's performance on foreign policy and the war on terror, another low-water mark for his presidency. That's down 9 points from a year ago. Just before the 2002 election, 64 percent of registered voters backed Bush on terror and foreign policy.
Just 35 percent of the public approves of Bush's handling of Iraq, his lowest in AP-Ipsos polling.
As bad as Bush's numbers may be, Congress' are worse.
Just 30 percent of the public approves of the GOP-led Congress' job performance, and Republicans seem to be shouldering the blame.
By a 49-33 margin, the public favors Democrats over Republicans when asked which party should control Congress.
That 16-point Democratic advantage is the largest the party has enjoyed in AP-Ipsos polling.
On an issue the GOP has dominated for decades, Republicans are now locked in a tie with Democrats — 41 percent each — on the question of which party people trust to protect the country. Democrats made their biggest national security gains among young men, according to the AP-Ipsos poll, which had a 3 percentage point margin of error.
The public gives Democrats a slight edge on what party would best handle Iraq, a reversal from Election Day 2004.
Even Ohio is sick and tired of Republicans. Sooner or later most everyone wakes up. If Republicans were smart they'd concede now.
But look for Utah to be the new swing state this year, heh.
Democrats look good to Ohioans
COLUMBUS - The latest statewide public-opinion poll found 59 percent of adults want Democrats to take control of the Republican-led state government.
Only 33.6 percent want Republicans to remain in control, while 7.4 percent were undecided.
The state's "Coingate" scandal - which resulted in five convictions on ethics charges, including that of Gov. Bob Taft - shapes public views, according to the poll. About 89 percent called corruption a serious problem or somewhat of a problem in the Buckeye State. Sixty-nine percent said the corruption issue would motivate them to vote in the Nov. 7 general election.
The survey of 1,075 voters, released Wednesday by the University of Akron's Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics, also found that 64 percent of respondents think Ohio is going in the wrong direction.
As poll after poll demonstrates, the entire country is sick and tired of watching the country fall apart under the reign of corrupt and incompetent Republicans. But the politicized left isn't going to stop pushing the country to the left once the Dems take power. Not a chance! A new progressive era is coming, and Dems, as well as Republicans, better start getting used to the idea.
