#3 Very interesting also is a GALLUP poll on Congress job approval

PRINCETON, NJ -- The modest uptick in approval of the job being done by Congress has dissipated for the most part after only two months. Congress job approval had risen over the last two months after the Democrats took over control of Congress in early January -- fueled in large part by a jump in approval among rank and file Democrats. This month, however, Congress job approval is back down to levels quite similar to where it was in 2006. Democrats have lost a good deal of the positivity exhibited in the first two months of the year after their party took over.

According to Gallup's monthly update on job approval of Congress -- in a March 11-14, 2007, national poll -- 28% of Americans approve of the job being done by Congress and 64% disapprove. This marks a substantial change from January and February, with approval down nine points and disapproval up nine points

#4 President Bush's approval ratings are still in the 30's, and I believe have increased slightly recently, while Congress's dropped.

#5 And with the Dems wanting to show the only thing they stand for is getting Bush/Rove/Chaney, look to see this sink even further.

#6 Something in the 20's is about the floor of either Donk or Trunk support. It's the core affiliation number. Now ask [not rhetorically] them if they're prepared to die for those sitting in Congress and the number will probably sink to the single digits at the first shot.
