Just having some fun with numbers this evening. In the latest Gallup Poll, 32% of those polled approved of the job President Bush was doing vs. 18% approval for Congress.
As the article points out, the latest dip in approval ratings is shrinking support for Congress by those who identify themselves as Democrats (Republican disgust with Congress has been pretty steady).
There is growing dissatisfaction within the Democratic ranks caused by the feeling that Democrats in the House and Senate led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, respectively, have not done enough to stand up to the Republicans and President Bush, particularly regarding the War in Iraq and recent FISA legislation that sailed through Congress on its way to be signed into law by President Bush (this is a whole ‘nother topic we may try to tackle later).
The talking point on Rove’s legacy has been how his “base first” strategy has lost a generation of Republicans, so we are waiting for commentary on Reid and Pelosi’s “face first” strategy losing a generation of Democrats. Hey, now.......
However, we are encouraged by the appearance of some Republicans emerging from the primordial ooze of politics to join the ranks of vertebrates in the animal kingdom.
