"Congress has gone from the brink of the abyss and leaped. Whee!"
Don Surber, Charleston Daily Mail. . . The first job approval numbers for July are in and the Reuters/Zogby Poll shows Bush at 34 percent, Congress at 14 percent. Under Democratic leadership, Congress has gone from the brink of the abyss and leaped. Whee! Pollster John Zogby broke down the numbers. "The Democratic Congress gets poor marks across the ideological spectrum -- just 21 percent of liberals and 10 percent of the very liberal give it positive marks, while 14 percent of conservatives and 14 percent of the very conservative give it positive ratings," Zogby wrote.  "Among Democrats, just 19 percent give Congress positive marks, compared to 13 percent of Republicans and 8 percent of political independents."By way of comparison, the Republican Congress had a 23 percent positive job approval rating last October, just a week before voters tossed the GOP out of their leadership posts in both houses." After six months, Democrats do have one bipartisan accomplishment: Everyone hates Congress. Not so George Walker Bush. Among Republicans, 63 percent still think he is doing an outstanding job Congress now has no base outside of its staff, the reporters who cover it and Mom, and even she is wavering. . . . Read the rest of it to see why this is not necessarily reason for Schadenfreude. Posted by: Mike 2007-07-21 |
