#1 I think the low approval has more to do with the economy and gas prices at this point than Iraq no matter how CNN wants to shade it.

The question is do Bush's low approval ratings help or hurt McCain who is of the same political party, mostly.

#4 George isn't worried about reelection come November even with 31 percent approval. Congress at about half of that does have a problem. Based upon their performance to date, if they're not in a secure district, its going to be interesting.

#6 Who takes these polls and what is the sample?
GWB has done some good things, tax cuts, dynamics in the MEast, and he has done some things that were not so good, immigration.
I won't live to see him get any credit, if indeed he deserves any.

#7 Congress does have a low rating, but ALL the candidates at this point are sitting Senators. They ALL can't lose (pity) so one will win. Speaking of which, when is the last time a sitting US Senator became President? It's been a while.

#9 "Zebulon Unomolet6509"

Thanks tu3031. 48 years. It's been a while and it doesn't happen often. Between McCain, Shillary, and BO it will happen this year. Joy. On a scale of 1 to 10 we've got a 4 and a pair of zeros.

#10 Remember, you don't have to be faster than the bear, just someone else in the group.
