34%-Harris Poll-Bush Approval Sinks Again & 64% Think More Scandal To Come

[kpete]

Bush Approval Sinks Again
"President Bush's job-approval rating fell, with 34% of Americans voting him 'excellent' or 'good,' down from 38% in September," according to a new Harris Interactive poll.

In the generic congressional race, 47% of registered voters say they'll vote for a Democratic candidate, compared with 35% who will choose a Republican.

Key finding: "When asked about recent Capitol Hill scandals involving charges of corruption and sexual improprieties, 64% said they believed those activities were the just the 'tip of the iceberg,' compared with 25% who believed they were 'isolated incidents.'"

2. The mid-30s aren't good for a president whose party is facing an already-

steep uphill climb in the midterms.

The cheese is slipping off the Bush cracker.

10. Because the powers that be saw Bush as an asset

They intended to continue to profit from an all Republican government.

Now that he's become a liability they are going to put a leash on him assuming that the Democrats win at least one house of Congress.

11. As usual, Fox shows the most inflated approval at 40%

Their normalization assumptions have to be the most obscenely biased of all. While they too show a decline in approval, the inflation indicates an amplification of the far-right portion of the electorate.

13. K&R, and from what I've seen this week...

the 64% are right.
